The Octa Sport Indy 500 features the new all aluminium alloy F.P.Journe movement reserved exclusively to the models of the lineSport.

The brand also perfected different methods of processing in order to make the aluminium scratch resistant and give it anti-corrosive and anti-allergic properties.

The Octa Sport Indy 500 Aluminum alloy movement still preserves the properties of all F.P. Journe Octa calibers, with a five day power reserve and a variable inertia balance wheel for an optimum yield and an irreproachable stability.

Rubber inserts are fixed with an outstanding process to the sides of the case to efficiently protect the watch from any shocks, in line with bumpers of ancient automobiles.

The crown and the folding clasp, engraved with the F.P.Journe signature, are also covered with a rubber coating.
