This limited edition timepiece is made with a Stainless steel 316L cushion-shape case featuring a sapphire crystal, an enamelled dial, blued steel « Breguet » type hands and supplied with a leather strap totally handmade in a Parisian crafts shop. The design of this watch is inspired from watches of the 1910/1920 era.

The cushion-shaped stainless steel case offers a contemporary and retro look. The satin case back is engraved with OJ logo, name of the model and the serial number of timepiece.

The highly legible white enamel dial, inspired from Fob watches, does not display the logo or brand name. The « Breguet » type hands in blued steel add elegance to the dial.

For this project, the brand has acquired a well preserved lot of 70 France Ébauche FE 233/69 movements. These legendary movements were made in France but assembled in Switzerland. These historic movements are then reworked and adjusted in Haut-Doubs (France), before integrating into the timepiece.
