Brand heritage

Octo was a Swiss watch brand from La Chaux-de-Fonds, documented from at least 1904. It was best known for its 8-day movements (hence the name), later became Montres Octo SA and relocated to Bienne during the Second World War. In the 1960s Octo also produced the SkyNavy, a watch-compass hybrid.
