F.P. Journe: Titalyt gives the élégante 40 a darker frame

The élégante 40 mm Titalyt® surrounds a luminous white dial with dark treated titanium. The case treatment gives more visual separation between the metal, the dial and the coloured rubber straps. Its tortue shape remains slim at 7.35mm thick, with the motion detector visible near the lower right of the face.

Inside is quartz-regulated electromechanical calibre 1210. After 35 minutes without movement, the hands stop to conserve energy; the electronics keep time and reposition the hands when motion resumes. F.P. Journe describes Titalyt as an electro-plasma oxidation treatment for titanium. The gallery shows white, pale-pink and yellow strap configurations of this model.
