The sapphire crystal case-back offers a view of the beautifully decorated calibre and a water resistance of 100M.
Dial
Pleasing Dial Aesthetics
The entire expanse of the stunning dial is enlivened by a meticulously carved monogram pattern drenched in a classic back shade, exuding a subtle contemporary appeal. It comes equipped with a contrasting date aperture at the three o’clock marker. A 3D monogram set inside the dial and hands & applied indices with brushing and sandblasting add depth to the watch face.
Bracelet
Seamlessly Integrated Yet Interchangeable
The smooth rubber strap adds an elegant, sporty aesthetic to the watch. It is seamlessly integrated into the case for a graceful presence on the wrist. Designed to accompany you on all adventures, the strap is equipped with an easy change mechanism and secures with a logo-detailed pin buckle.
Movement
Superior Driving Force
Designed and manufactured with high Swiss craftsmanship, FLD03 is a self-winding calibre. A testament to unrivalled 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 Calibre
Meticulously Finished
The watch offers a clear view of the immaculately decorated calibre through the sapphire crystal case-back. 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 Skeletonised Design
The 4N PVD rotor is skeletonised and custom-designed with Colimaçon & Soleillage finishes. The Favre Leuba monogram is engraved as a medallion. Skeletonisation of the rotor is an extremely precise task with more implications than just aesthetics.
Lume
Visibility Under All Conditions
The multi-finished and rhodium-plated hands and applied indexes are equipped with a generous application of high-performance SuperLuminova X1 in blue. It offers a highly effective glow in the dark and lasts for longer durations.
