Code: 600307Product detailed description
F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu — Ref. CB
A distinctive expression of independent Swiss watchmaking. The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu combines understated elegance with technical sophistication, featuring a rare tantalum case, a striking blue chrome dial, and an exquisitely crafted rose gold movement. Its minimalist design and exceptional materials make it one of the most recognizable creations in the brand’s Classique Collection.
Why choose this model?
Rare tantalum case
The 39 mm case is crafted from tantalum, a rare, dark grey metal with subtle blue undertones. Highly resistant to corrosion and wear, tantalum is exceptionally difficult to machine, making it an unusual and distinctive choice in fine watchmaking.
Signature blue dial
The rich blue chrome dial is complemented by large Arabic numerals and ivory-colored steel hands. A small seconds subdial at 7:30 adds visual balance while preserving the watch’s clean, refined aesthetic.
Calibre 1304 movement
The manually wound Calibre 1304 features a movement constructed in 18K rose gold, with twin mainspring barrels operating in parallel to deliver consistent power. Beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, it offers a power reserve of approximately 56 hours.
Model story
The Chronomètre Bleu reflects François-Paul Journe’s philosophy of combining horological precision with distinctive materials and timeless design. Introduced in 2009, it established a unique identity through its unconventional tantalum case and vivid blue dial, becoming a highly sought-after model among collectors of independent haute horlogerie.
