Overview
Introducing Favre Leuba's First Malachite Dial
2025 marks a milestone in Favre Leuba’s 288-year history as the maison unveils its first-ever malachite dial within the Deep Raider Renaissance series. This debut underscores the brand’s commitment to advancing watchmaking savoir-faire, uniting natural materiality with meticulous craftsmanship. Each timepiece is inherently one-of-a-kind, shaped by the organic beauty of genuine malachite. Its rich banding, textures, and patterns ensure that no two dials are ever alike.
Case
Classic Fluidity
The Deep Raider Renaissance reinterprets the classic diver's watch for today's connoisseurs with its 300-meter water-resistant round case, executed masterfully in stainless steel. It is aesthetically modern with the dimensions, measuring 40mm in diameter and 12.69mm in thickness. The graceful contours of the case, along with the tapered lugs featuring polished chamfered edges, achieve an ideal balance between aesthetics and comfort. It is affixed with a unidirectional ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal glass.
Dial Material
A Dial Formed By Nature
The malachite dial reflects Favre Leuba’s focus on distinctive materials and precise finishing. Formed from genuine malachite, it shows natural green tones and layered mineral patterns that give each dial its own visual identity. Every piece is selected for stability and clarity of pattern before being shaped into thin plates, reinforced where needed, and polished at controlled temperatures to maintain its structure.
Each dial is crafted from natural stone, resulting in inherent variations in texture, pattern, and appearance. Accordingly, the stone dial of the actual timepiece may differ from that depicted in images. No two dials will look alike.
Dial
Intricately Engineered
The Deep Raider Renaissance Malachite dial is coated in Super-Luminova, allowing light to flow through the cut-out indexes and creating bright, clearly defined hour markers suited to a modern diver. This luminous treatment ensures consistent visibility in low-light conditions, with luminous hands reinforcing clarity underwater. Despite its functional emphasis, the dial maintains a refined character, featuring a round date aperture positioned between four and five o’clock.
Bezel
Underwater Ready
The Deep Raider Renaissance has a unidirectional diving bezel with a ceramic insert and ergonomic knurling. It features a neatly executed luminous pip at noon and a countdown marker to enhance functionality. The dial-complementing color choice gives the bezel an elegant and refined appearance.
Bracelet
Easily Interchangeable
The Deep Raider Renaissance is presented on a stainless steel bracelet. It carries an impeccable combination of brushed and polished finishes, and comes with an ergonomic interchangeable strap system to ensure your adventures never cease.
Movement
Superior Driving Force
Designed and manufactured with high Swiss craftsmanship, FLD02 is a self-winding caliber. A testament to unrivaled accuracy and reliability, the movement is equipped with a date complication. It features a power reserve of 68 hours and delivers exceptional precision, beating at a 4Hz frequency.
Decorated Caliber
Meticulously Finished
The watch offers a clear view of the immaculately decorated caliber through the sapphire crystal caseback. It carries superlative finishing on all the elements, meticulously executed with refined details, such as Côtes de Genève on the main plate, Soleillage finishing on the rotor, heat-treated blued crews and more.
Rotor
Custom Skeletonized Design
The 4N rotor is skeletonized and custom-designed with the Soleillage finish. It bears the Favre Leuba monogram engraved as a medallion. Skeletonization of the rotor is an extremely precise task with more implications than just aesthetics. The weight and other characteristics of the rotor boast surgical precision to ensure winding efficiency.
Lume
Visibility Under All Conditions
The hands, indexes, and 12 o'clock marker on the diving bezel have a radium-like lume that offers excellent visibility in the dark.
