Favre Leuba Deep Raider Power Reserve Blue 00.20310.109.02.200

The Favre Leuba Deep Raider Power Reserve Blue 00.20310.109.02.200 combines the brand’s long history of purpose-built dive watches with a distinctive complication rarely seen on a professional diver. Its 40mm stainless steel case measures 12.59mm thick and surrounds a rich blue sunray-finished dial featuring a power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock, small seconds at 9 o’clock, and an unusual vertical triple-figure date display at 3 o’clock. A matching blue ceramic unidirectional dive bezel, curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal, screw-down crown, and Super-LumiNova C1 X1 on the rhodium-plated hands and applied indexes reinforce its serious tool-watch credentials. With 300 meters of water resistance and an integrated three-link stainless steel bracelet, the Deep Raider balances genuine diving capability with a much more technical and refined dial layout than the typical time-and-date diver.

Powering the watch is Favre Leuba’s automatic FLP01 caliber, based on the Sellita SW279-1 and configured specifically to accommodate the model’s power reserve, small seconds, and distinctive date display. The 26-jewel movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides approximately 41 hours of power reserve, with the remaining energy displayed directly on the dial and a red warning sector indicating when the movement is running low. The integrated bracelet combines brushed and polished surfaces with a butterfly clasp and a quick-change system that also allows the watch to accept rubber straps from the Deep Raider Renaissance collection. The result is a modern Swiss dive watch that feels unmistakably Favre Leuba: mechanically interesting, highly functional, and rooted in the brand’s long tradition of creating instruments designed for exploration.

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.
