Favre Leuba Unveils Its First-Ever Collector Edition, in association with Timepiece 787: the Deep Raider Revival X Timepiece 787

San Juan, Puerto Rico, February 27, 2026: Favre Leuba unveils the Deep Raider Revival x Timepiece 787, a limited edition of 25 pieces created with the watch platform and collector community Timepiece 787 based in Puerto Rico.

The edition marks the brand’s relaunch in the United States and its first collaboration with a collectors’ community.

Inspired by the 1964 Deep Blue, this neo-vintage interpretation introduces a distinctive new dial and is complemented by a bespoke leather strap from renowned Parisian strap maker Jean Rousseau.

A Collector’s Interpretation of the Deep Raider

The dial references the design language defined by classic 1960s tool watches with the “bullseye” display, while the colors–the blue dial punctuated by red accents–are also a subtle nod to the colors of the Puerto Rican flag.

“The sector-style ‘bullseye’ layout creates visual depth while reinforcing legibility,” says Kim Siegel, Product Designer at Favre Leuba. “The palette also nods to vintage printing tones, with red accents used to draw the eye to key details.”

“For us, the diver is more than a category; it represents a lifestyle,” says Javier Estremera, founder of Timepiece 787. “The goal was to create a true revival that honors one of Favre Leuba’s 1960s icons, a watch built with purpose, character, and durability.”

Applied quarter-hour indexes and generously lumed hands maintain the instrument-driven clarity of the Deep Raider line, while the discreet “Timepiece 787” signature at 9 o’clock integrates the collaboration naturally into the design.

The watch is delivered with both the classic five-link stainless steel bracelet and a bespoke, hand- crafted leather strap by Parisian strap manufacturer Jean Rousseau, a valued addition among collectors known for high-end, artisanal strap making. Easy interchangeability between bracelet and strap enhances versatility.

A Limited Edition of 25 Pieces

The closed stainless steel caseback is engraved with “Super-Waterproof” and “Limited Edition — One of 25.” The Favre Leuba emblem is reinterpreted for this edition, with the “787” numerals positioned at its center in place of the traditional monogram.

“This is our first collaboration with a collector-driven platform,” says Patrik Hoffmann, CEO of Favre Leuba. “Timepiece 787 represents a passionate and highly knowledgeable community. Developing this edition together reflects our commitment to engaging directly with enthusiasts as we expand our presence in the United States.”

The launch was celebrated with a private collector event in San Juan on February 26, bringing together leading enthusiasts from the region.
