Favre Leuba Chief Chronograph The Favre Leuba Chief Chronograph easily blends vintage charm with modern sport-chic refinement. Rooted in the brand’s 1970s design language, it retains the signature cushion-shaped case, now subtly refined with grooved flanks, streamlined lugs, and an ovoid profile that enhances both compactness and wearability.
Its sunburst dial, available in blue, ice blue, and black, undergoes over 100  production steps to achieve remarkable depth. Raised bi-compax sub-dials at 9 and 3 o’clock enhance contrast, while a tachymeter scale along the inner flange reinforces its sporting credentials. Rhodium-plated Super-LumiNova®-coated hands and indices ensure optimal legibility, while the 3D Favre Leuba hourglass at 6 o’clock adds a signature touch of refinement.
Housed in a 41mm 316L stainless steel case with brushed and satin finishes, the Chief Chronograph features a sapphire crystal case back, revealing the La Joux-Perret L113 column-wheel chronograph movement, renowned for its smooth actuation and 60-hour power reserve. The intricate movement finishing—Côtes de Genève striping, blued screws, and polished steel components—reflects Favre Leuba’s commitment to fine watchmaking. Completing the package, an integrated steel bracelet with H-shaped links and a deployant clasp, with a rubber strap option available for a sportier edge.
In an era where many heritage reissues err on the side of nostalgia, Favre Leuba takes a more considered approach, breathing new life into a classic without losing its essence. The Chief Chronograph is neither a mere throwback nor a radical reinvention—it is an evolution, a watch that respects its past while confidently asserting itself in the present.

Favre Leuba Chief Date The Favre Leuba Chief Date distills the refined elegance of the Chief Chronograph into a sleeker 40mm stainless steel case, measuring just 10.8mm thick. Retaining the same delicately sculpted form, it offers a more streamlined profile while maintaining its signature presence. The satin-finished and polished surfaces create a subtle play of light, enhancing the watch’s sophisticated yet sporty appeal. An integrated, interchangeable bracelet ensures both comfort and versatility, seamlessly blending with the case for a fluid, modern look.
Setting the Chief Date apart is its intricately textured dial, featuring a stamped tapestry pattern of raised hourglasses—a nod to Favre Leuba’s enduring legacy. The offset sunray finish interacts dynamically with light, available in green, blue, and black, each exuding a vibrant yet refined character. A discreet date window at 3 o’clock adds a touch of practical functionality without disrupting the watch’s harmonious design.
Beneath the surface, the La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement ensures 68 hours of power reserve, delivering precision and reliability. Visible through the case back, it showcases exquisite finishing, including diamond-cut bevels, blued screws, and Côtes de Genève striping, while the Geneva-striped oscillating weight adds the final touch.

Favre Leuba Chief Sky Chief Chronograph Favre Leuba, founded in 1737 by Abraham Favre in Le Locle, Switzerland, is one of the oldest watchmaking brands in the world. Over the centuries, it became a key player in the industry, particularly after expanding internationally in the 19th century. By the 1960s, the brand was at the forefront of innovation, introducing groundbreaking timepieces like the 1962 Bivouac, the first mechanical wristwatch with an aneroid barometer, and the 1968 Bathy, which included a mechanical depth gauge for divers.
Despite its success, Favre Leuba struggled during the quartz crisis of the 1970s, which led to a series of ownership changes. The brand eventually left the hands of the founding family in 1985 and passed through different corporate groups over the years, including a period under LVMH and later India’s Titan Company. While there were several attempts to revive the brand, it never fully regained the market dominance it once held.
In 2024, Favre Leuba took a major step forward with a fresh relaunch led by CEO Patrik Hoffmann, a respected name in the watch industry. The brand introduced 22 new models across three collections—Chief, Deep Blue, and Sea Sky Chronograph—at the Geneva Watch Days event. This revival focused on blending Favre Leuba’s rich history with modern appeal, reaffirming its place in the world of horology.
