Inspired by the brands’ legendary watches that broke new barriers in time-keeping performance, the Favre-Leuba’s design DNA is evident with the signature tetradecagon bezel, rectangular indices featured in the vintage Deep Blue watch, and the striking hands seen on Favre-Leuba’s Bathy timepiece.

The Raider Sea King incorporates the retro-futuristic design philosophy, transforming it to perfectly compliment both day and evening wear attire. The Sea King, along with its partner watch, the Sea Bird, features a fluted bezel, in addition to the signature tetradecagonal bezel. The multi-layered case resulting from these bezels, along with their interplay of polished and satin-brushed surfaces enables a creative contrast producing an emboldened style. The dynamic arc extending across the sides of the case from lug to lug is reflective of the connection from the historic accomplishments of the brand, to the present journey of consistent innovation.
