Favre Leuba Expands the Deep Raider Line with New Power Reserve Model
Available in five iterations
Since its relaunch under new leadership, Favre Leuba has focused on reconnecting with key chapters of its long history through contemporary reinterpretations of archival designs. Among the most prominent examples is the Deep Raider collection, which traces its roots to the 1964 Deep Blue dive watch, one of the brand’s earliest purpose-built underwater instruments. Now, the collection gains a new mechanical complication with the introduction of the Deep Raider Power Reserve.

A Functional Expansion of the Deep Raider Collection
First reintroduced in 2024 through the Deep Raider Revival and later expanded with the more contemporary Deep Raider Renaissance models, the collection has become central to Favre Leuba’s modern positioning. While previous editions emphasized the combination of vintage-inspired dive-watch aesthetics and modern construction, the new Power Reserve model adds an additional layer of mechanical functionality to the athletic prowess of the collection.

The watch is housed in a moderately sized 40mm steel case measuring 12.59mm thick and water-resistant to 300 meters. Its architecture remains consistent with the rest of the Deep Raider line, featuring angular lugs, polished chamfers, and a unidirectional rotating bezel with ceramic insert and luminous dive marker at 12 o’clock. A screw-down crown and sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating complete the utilitarian specification.

Five Dial Colors
The most visible evolution appears on the dial. Available in white, black, blue, green, and ice blue and framed by color-coordinated diver bezels, the Deep Raider Power Reserve features a pronounced sunray finish radiating outward from the center. Favre Leuba combines this with contrasting snailed sub dials for the small seconds display at 9 o’clock and the power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock. It goes without saying that the markers and bold hands are coated with Superluminova for night-time readability.

A vertically arranged triple-figure date aperture at 3 o’clock introduces another cool visual element while maintaining overall symmetry. The dial design reflects the broader approach Favre Leuba has taken with the Renaissance series: balancing contemporary textures and finishing techniques with the functional clarity expected from a dive and sports watch.

Inside the Deep Raider Power Reserve is the self-winding FLP01 caliber, based on the Sellita SW279-1 architecture. Operating at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), the movement delivers approximately 41 hours of power reserve, now displayed directly on the dial through the new complication. The closed caseback features an engraved medallion incorporating Favre Leuba’s historic hourglass emblem within a wave-inspired motif, alongside the inscription “Conquering Frontiers Since 1737,” referencing the company’s long-standing association with exploration and tool watches. Featuring an integrated bracelet, the Deep Raider Power Reserve is priced at CHF2,500 or approximately $3,175 when converted to USD.
