A modern interpretation of the classic Favre Leuba designs from the 1970s, now refreshed in summer hues.
The new Chief Date in Mint Green and Ice Blue, launched in Summer 2026, introduces a fresh and vibrant color palette to the collection. First introduced in 2024, the series now expands with summer-ready tones that carry forward the legacy of the iconic Favre Leuba watches of the 1970s. The Favre Leuba Chief collection is defined by its distinctive cushion-shaped case — a signature design made famous by the brand during the 1970s — paired with a robust and reliable mechanism. Versatile by nature, these timepieces seamlessly adapt to today’s fast-paced lifestyle, feeling equally at home in a corporate setting, during a sporting outing, and everywhere in between.
Case
Streamlined Proportions
The Chief Date features a versatile 40mm steel case with a unique design. Slender with just 10.81mm thickness, the timepiece strikes a perfect balance between robustness and wearability, ensuring it becomes an integral part of one's everyday look. Inspired by the glorious history, this cushion-shaped case boasts a modern appeal because of its contemporary proportions and multifaceted design.
It features brilliantly executed circular and vertical brushing on the sides that add a beautiful contrast and highlight the contours of the case. It exudes an understated allure creating a subtle play of light, giving the watch a refined character. It is topped by a curved sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. The sapphire crystal caseback offers a view of the beautifully decorated caliber and a water resistance of 100M.
Dial
A Crisp Botanical Shade
The entire expanse of the stunning dial is enlivened by a meticulously carved monogram pattern drenched in a vibrant mint green hue, 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 two-link integrated steel bracelet features a mix of finishes, alternating between vertical brushing and polished center links. It unites seamlessly with the case, creating a graceful presence on the wrist. It comes with an easy-change mechanism for effortless switching between bracelet and strap, and is secured with a butterfly clasp.
Movement
Superior Driving Force
Designed and manufactured with high Swiss craftsmanship, FLD03 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 screws, and more.
Rotor
Custom Skeletonized Design
The 4N PVD rotor is skeletonized and custom-designed with Colimaçon & Soleillage finishes. The Favre Leuba monogram is engraved as a medallion. Skeletonization 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 Super-Luminova X1 in blue. It offers a highly effective glow in the dark and lasts for longer durations.
