About the Octa family
The Octa line was introduced in 2001 around caliber 1300, an automatic movement with a power reserve of about five days, or 120 hours, and an off-centre dial with a large date. The same base was used for several functions.
The family includes the Octa Réserve de Marche, Octa Lune with moon phase, Octa Calendrier, Octa UTC with a second time zone and Octa Chronographe, in platinum and in combinations of platinum and gold. Dealers check whether the movement is brass or gold, which reflects the period of production, along with the dial and papers.
