The day, month and date are easy to read in prominent apertures. The day and date can be set simply by turning the crown in one direction; the day alone by pulling the crown out to the second position and turning it in the other direction.
You can adjust the indicators for the month and the number of years since the last leap year using a hidden lever beneath the lug at 1 o’clock. The latter piece of information is shown by a small, discreet, center- mounted hand that points to the
numerals “1” through “4.” The calendar displays jump instanta- neously at midnight.
The movement is a variation on Caliber 1300.3, the base caliber on which all the complications in the Octa collection are constructed. It has an off-center, 22k-rose- gold rotor and a power reserve of 120 hours.
The watch will be manufactured in a limited series of 900 pieces. It replaces the Octa Calendrier with annual calendar, which after this year will no longer be manufactured. There are two case sizes, 40 mm and 42 mm, and two materials, gold and platinum. The watch comes in strap and bracelet versions. Prices range from $69,020 to $124,020.
