The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Furtif is a small-production lineSport watch announced on 31 March 2025. Its defining contrast is a mirror-polished anthracite Grand Feu enamel dial and a tungsten-carbide case and bracelet, accented with tantalum. The watch measures 42 mm across and 9.30 mm thick, and is powered by the manually wound Calibre 1522.
What is the F.P. Journe Chronomètre Furtif?
F.P. Journe introduced the Chronomètre Furtif as a new addition to its lineSport collection. The name means “stealth,” reflected in the dark dial and the way its markings appear as the angle of light changes. In its announcement, F.P. Journe described the watch as “Having the time for yourself alone” and specified its tungsten-carbide case and bracelet with a mirror-polished anthracite grey Grand Feu enamel dial. Read F.P. Journe’s announcement.

Case, bracelet and dial
Tungsten carbide with tantalum details
The case diameter is 42 mm, with an overall thickness of 9.30 mm. Tungsten carbide is used for the case and three-row flat-link bracelet. Tantalum is used for the caseback, insert, bezel ring and crown; the titanium folding clasp is capped in tantalum. F.P. Journe describes tungsten carbide as very hard, biocompatible, shock-resistant and nearly indestructible. Those are the manufacturer’s material claims, not a comparative durability test.
A dial that changes with the light
The anthracite-grey Grand Feu enamel dial is made on white gold and mirror polished. Its numerals and minute track are matte; they become visible to the wearer as the dial is tilted relative to the light. The display on the front is deliberately restrained: hours, minutes and central seconds.

Calibre 1522 and what it displays
Calibre 1522 is a manually wound movement made in 18K rose gold. F.P. Journe’s 2025 specifications list a 56 ± 2-hour power reserve, 21 jewels, a 3 Hz frequency (21,600 vibrations per hour), a 33.50 mm diameter and a 5.90 mm height. The dial shows the time; the back carries the moon-phase display and power-reserve indication. See the manufacturer’s specifications.
How it differs from the Furtif Bleu
The Furtif Bleu made for Only Watch 2024 is a separate unique piece, not the standard Chronomètre Furtif. The key distinction is material: the Only Watch piece has a full tantalum case and bracelet, while the small-production 2025 model uses tungsten carbide for those components, with tantalum elements.
