It soon ranked among the indispensable equipment of those who overcame seemingly defined limits. The Bivouac completed one of its first missions on the wrists of the Swiss national parachuting team during the 1962 World Cup in the United States. The Italian mountaineer Walter Bonatti wore a Bivouac in 1964 when he and the Genevan Michel Vaucher successfully ascended the north face of Pointe Whymper (4,196 m) in the Grandes Jorasses for the first time and when he conquered the north face of the Matterhorn on the most direct route. The young Valais native Michel Darbelley undertook his first solo ascent of the Eiger in 1963 with his watch from the workshops of Favre Leuba, which reliably showed him what altitude he had already scaled and whether a change in weather was imminent. The famous French polar explorer Paul-Emile Victor relied on his Bivouac on numerous expeditions to the endless ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tl-subtitle\"\u003eFL251 CALIBRE\u003c\/span\u003eThe patented FL251 calibre of 1962, with 11.5‴ and a height of only 2.95 mm, revolutionised thanks to the use of two barrels, series production of extra flat movements with centered second hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tl-year\"\u003e1964\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tl-subtitle\"\u003eDEEP BLUE\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tl-description read-sec active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree years after the presentation of the first diver’s watch from the in-house atelier, the brand launched the Deep Blue, waterproof up to 200 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tl-subtitle\"\u003eNEW HEADQUARTERS \u003c\/span\u003eFavre Leuba reincorporated production of their own ébauches in the newly established company, headquartered in Petit-Lancy near Geneva.
