Favre Leuba Deep Raider Day Date Red 00.20311.110.10.200

The Deep Raider collection expands with a new Day Date edition that brings greater everyday functionality into the collection’s modern identity. Paired with a new ombré dial execution available in four distinct colors, the Deep Raider Day Date balances practicality, visual depth, and the enduring design language of Favre Leuba’s contemporary dive watches.

Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the 40mm case continues the Deep Raider collection’s compact and confident proportions. At 12.5mm thick with a balanced 48.2mm lug-to-lug profile, the timepieces deliver a reassuring wrist presence while remaining highly wearable through everyday use. The architecture combines vertically brushed surfaces with polished accents along the contours of the case, giving it a sharper sense of definition under light. The unidirectional ceramic bezel reinforces the watch’s professional dive-watch identity, while the 300-meter water resistance speaks directly to Favre Leuba’s long-standing commitment to functional watchmaking.

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.
