Favre Leuba Deep Raider Power Reserve Black 00.20310.109.01.200

The Favre Leuba Deep Raider Power Reserve Black 00.20310.109.01.200 is a modern dive watch that pairs professional-grade capability with one of the most useful complications in everyday watchmaking. Inspired by Favre Leuba’s historic Deep Blue divers of the 1960s, this reference features a 40mm stainless steel case, a scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, and 300 meters of water resistance, delivering serious tool-watch credentials in a highly wearable package. The matte black dial emphasizes legibility, with bold luminous markers, oversized hands, and a prominently displayed power reserve indicator that adds both visual interest and practical functionality. Clean, purposeful, and unmistakably sporty, it embodies the brand’s long-standing connection to adventure and exploration.

What sets the Deep Raider Power Reserve apart is its rare combination of dive-watch toughness and mechanical engagement. The power reserve display allows the wearer to monitor the remaining energy stored in the automatic movement, a complication seldom found in this segment of the market. Against the black dial, the indicator integrates naturally into the design while enhancing the watch’s technical appeal. Combined with a sapphire crystal, robust bracelet, and balanced proportions, the 00.20310.109.01.200 offers collectors an alternative to mainstream luxury divers—delivering Swiss heritage, practical complications, and understated character in a package that feels both modern and distinctly Favre Leuba.

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.
