Favre Leuba Chief Chronograph Ice Blue 00.20101.113.04.200

The Favre Leuba Chief Chronograph Ice Blue (00.20101.113.04.200) is a striking expression of sporty elegance. Housed in a 41 mm cushion-style stainless steel case just 14 mm thick, the watch is built to balance presence and wearability. Its ice blue sunray dial, created in over 100 precision steps, features contrasting subdials with circular brushing, a 3D Favre Leuba monogram, multi-faceted hands, and applied indices treated with generous Super-LumiNova X1 for excellent legibility in low light. A tachymeter scale on the internal rehaut adds functional depth, while the integrated two-link steel bracelet (vertically brushed outer links, polished center links) offers both aesthetic continuity and an easy-change system for strap options.

Powered by the Swiss automatic FLC02 column-wheel chronograph movement, the Chief Chronograph delivers a 60-hour power reserve and 4 Hz frequency. Through the sapphire display caseback, wearers can admire the fine finishing: perlage on the lower bridges, Côtes de Genève on the main plate, a skeletonized 4N rotor with colimaçon and soleillage pattern, and heat-blued screws. Rated to 100 m water resistance, it is equally at home in a boardroom or on a weekend adventure—making the Chief Chronograph Ice Blue a modern classic with enduring appeal.

New

Favre Leuba traces its roots back to 1737 in Le Locle, Switzerland, when Abraham Favre is documented as running his own watchmaking workshop.
Over the next generations, his descendants expanded the firm: in 1792 a formal firm “A. Favre & Fils” was established, and by 1815 Henry-Auguste Favre partnered with Auguste Leuba, coalescing into the name Favre-Leuba.

The brand became known not just for fine complications and precise movements, but for technical innovation: in the 1950s and 60s, Favre Leuba developed proprietary calibers (FL101, FL103/104) and produced landmark tool watches such as the Bivouac—the first mechanical wristwatch combining altimeter and barometer—and the Deep Blue diver’s watch.

However, the quartz revolution of the 1970s–80s strained many traditional mechanical watchmakers, and in 1985 the Favre family was forced to cede control of the company.

Over the years the brand passed through various owners, including stints with LVMH and, later, Titan (of India).
Ethos Watches
In recent years, Favre Leuba has attempted revivals and re-launches: in 2011 Titan acquired it, and as of 2024–2025 it is undergoing yet another revival with fresh watch collections, renewed branding (dropping the hyphen), and an eye toward reconnecting with its heritage—particularly its longstanding ties to India.
