Few names in Swiss watchmaking carry as much history as Favre Leuba.
Founded in 1737, Favre Leuba is one of the oldest continuously operating watch manufacturers in the world, with a legacy built on exploration, innovation and professional tool watches. Following the brand's highly anticipated revival, the Deep Raider collection has become a cornerstone of its modern identity, successfully blending historic dive-watch heritage with contemporary Swiss engineering.
The latest addition to the collection, the Deep Raider Power Reserve, takes that philosophy even further. Retaining the robust architecture and professional diving credentials of the original Deep Raider while introducing a power reserve indicator, small seconds display and distinctive triple-date complication, it is one of the most technically engaging and visually striking sports watches Favre Leuba has produced in recent years.
For collectors looking for something beyond the mainstream luxury dive watch, the Deep Raider Power Reserve delivers originality, heritage and everyday practicality in equal measure.
A New Chapter For The Deep Raider
The Deep Raider traces its roots back to the Favre Leuba Deep Blue of 1964, one of the brand's pioneering professional dive watches.
When Favre Leuba returned to the watch industry, it revived this historic platform through the modern Deep Raider collection, carefully preserving the adventurous spirit that had defined the original while updating every aspect of its engineering.
The Deep Raider Power Reserve builds on that foundation.
Rather than redesigning the collection, Favre Leuba has expanded its mechanical capability while preserving its unmistakable identity.
A More Technical Dial
The biggest evolution appears on the dial.
Favre Leuba has introduced a completely new display that adds both functionality and visual depth without compromising legibility.
Key features include:
- Power reserve indicator at 6 o'clock
- Small seconds display at 9 o'clock
- Vertical triple-date display at 3 o'clock
- Sunray-finished dial
- Applied hour markers
- Super-LumiNova® hands and indices
Each display is framed with polished metallic surrounds, creating impressive depth while maintaining the balanced appearance that defines the Deep Raider collection.
Five Contemporary Dial Colours
Favre Leuba has launched the collection in five distinctive colourways:
- Black
- Blue
- Green
- White
- Ice Blue
Each dial features a rich sunray finish that changes character as light moves across the surface, while contrasting snailed sub-dials provide additional texture and refinement.
Whether you prefer the classic black diver or the contemporary ice-blue model, every version feels modern while remaining unmistakably Favre Leuba.
Built As A Professional Dive Watch
Despite the additional complications, the Deep Raider Power Reserve remains a genuine professional dive watch.
Specifications include:
- 40mm stainless steel case
- 12.59mm thickness
- 300 metres water resistance
- Screw-down crown
- Sapphire crystal
- Ceramic unidirectional dive bezel
- Integrated stainless steel bracelet
The proportions strike an excellent balance between everyday wearability and serious diving capability, making the watch equally suited to daily wear and underwater adventure.
Swiss Mechanical Performance
Powering the watch is the Favre Leuba FLP01 automatic calibre, based on the reliable Sellita SW279-1 architecture.
The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides:
- Automatic winding
- 41-hour power reserve
- Small seconds
- Power reserve indication
- Triple-date display
The addition of the power reserve indicator gives owners a practical way of monitoring the movement's remaining energy while reinforcing the mechanical character of the watch.
A Modern Integrated Sports Watch
Integrated bracelet sports watches continue to dominate contemporary collecting.
The Deep Raider offers a fresh alternative to more familiar luxury sports models through:
- Angular case architecture
- Integrated bracelet
- Alternating brushed and polished finishing
- Compact proportions
- Functional ergonomics
Rather than following current trends, Favre Leuba has created a design that feels distinctive and confidently individual.
Heritage Meets Innovation
One of the greatest strengths of the Deep Raider Power Reserve is the way it balances past and present.
Historic inspiration comes from the 1964 Deep Blue.
Modern engineering delivers:
- Ceramic bezel technology
- Contemporary movement architecture
- Improved water resistance
- Enhanced finishing
- Modern dial construction
The result is a watch that honours Favre Leuba's remarkable history without becoming a simple vintage recreation.
Everyday Luxury With Purpose
The Deep Raider Power Reserve is more than a specialist dive watch.
Its versatile proportions, refined finishing and practical complications make it equally suitable for everyday wear.
Whether worn:
- In the office
- While travelling
- At weekends
- On holiday
- During outdoor adventures
the watch remains comfortable, highly legible and effortlessly distinctive.
