Octa Lune with Havana Dial
I tried the Octa Lune with the Havana dial. What do you think? I have to say I really like this piece. I think this dial works particularly well width the moon face. The Havana brown and ivory print has a has a certain bleak quality that I quite like. However with the strong blue from the moon aperture
, some colors energy is added to the composition of the dial. I think this makes this watch a very good proposition for a daily wearer.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this piece.

It’s interesting how different the watch looks...
In this colour. The moon aperture always makes me ponder over the design. Is it the silhouette of a dropping moustache or a woman lying down ?... after further consideration I think it’s George Michael’s hair style ...
I love the one with the woman lying down...
Some even claim it is a complication linked to the feminine universe. Not sure about GMs hair but sunglases perhaps? best C
Just a little fun Christian...
It’s a another beautiful watch from FPJ. Keep well my friend.
Love the Havana dial! The blue from the moonphase really pops.
I'm actually thinking of the Chronometre Souverain with the Havana dial. But in rose gold which I prefer for it's warmth with the brown dial.
I think it’s the best version of the Havana
I have the CS version which I am very happy with but the color that the moon aperture offers adds another element.
I probably agree even if I really like the CS as well
You have an incredible FPJ collection, my friend. Did you get the CS in the Pt or RG case?
Thank you
I got the platinum one. I generally prefer white metal though the rg certainly adds warmth to the watch
I love the RG
Although I don’t wear any watches in that metal. I always go with white metals.
Yes it gives it some pop
I agree with the CS in gold case - it has a lovely warm tone with the ivory print. Somthing that feels like "old wood and bone." A really interesting piece in my personal opinion.
I can count on one finger the Journes I don’t like.
And this isn’t that one. I agree with all the points you made.
Try the new version
I had one but I sold it. I would prefer the new version bigger date one. I love the balance of the new version and I sell mine in order to get the new one.
Yes i will Dustin
I tried it in the regular dial and quite liked it as well. especially the narrower bezel. Buying it again, eh?
I really like the overall look and dial color a lot .
Def something i would buy if possible
No, not mine
I tried it at the dealer and really loved it. The thing with unusual colored watches is it takes time with me to find out if I can live with it. These pictures are from last summer but I keep coming back to them. So to answer your question, I am still thi...
I am in the same boat
I've gone in to look at the Havana dials multiple times over the past year or so. I've come to the conclusion that it would make a great daily wearer (for me). And adds nice variety to the normal black/white/blue dials. I may pull the trigger on the CS wh...
Putting this here...
