Following the remarkable success of the Sea Sky Revival unveiled in 2024, with editions in black, brown, and blue, the distinctive chronograph now returns in a new expression. The Sea Sky Revival Green Dial brings a fresh aesthetic to the collection, introducing a vibrant green hue that perfectly balances heritage and modern refinement.
The Sea Sky Revival In Green: A Rich Color Palette
The Sea Sky Revival breathes new life into the vintage spirit of the watch with a captivating green dial. The radiant sunray finish of this hue enhances depth and dimension, complemented by ribbed black sub-dials that create a pleasing contrast.
Retaining the model’s neo-vintage character, the dial features broad arrow-style hands, retro-inspired hour markers, and meticulously applied Super-LumiNova® accents for clarity in all light conditions. A telemeter and tachymeter scale encircle the dial, reflecting the timepiece’s dual focus on style and performance.
It features a clean tri-compax chronograph configuration, tracking minutes at two o’clock, hours at six, and running seconds at nine.
A Blend of Strength and Elegance
Housed in a robust 41mm stainless-steel case, the Sea Sky Revival remains true to its original proportions, echoing the charm of the historic Sea Sky models from the 1960s. The polished and brushed surfaces lend the watch an elegant interplay of textures, while the bidirectional bezel comes in stainless steel with a ceramic insert.
The timepiece is presented on a leather strap, combining sportiness with sophistication. Its steel pin buckle ensures secure wear and adds to the overall nostalgic charm.
FLC01 Caliber: A Precise, Column-Wheel Equipped Chronograph Caliber
At the heart of the watch beats the automatic chronograph calibre FLC01, developed in collaboration with La Joux-Perret. This movement employs a superior column-wheel mechanism in place of the conventional cam-actuated system, ensuring smoother, more precise chronograph operation. The column wheel itself is blued through a rigorous heat treatment process. Even the slightest error can result in an imperfect and uneven blue finish, in which case the watchmaker has to repolish and clean the part in order to start afresh.
Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and offering a power reserve of approximately 60 hours, the movement is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback, allowing a glimpse of its finely finished components. The caliber features decorations such as perlage on the lower bridges, Côtes de Genève on the main plate, soleillage on the rotor, heat-treated blued screws, and more.
The 4N rotor is skeletonized and custom-designed with colimaçon & soleillage finishes. The Favre Leuba monogram is engraved as a medallion along with the text 'Swiss made since 1737'.
A Revival With Fresh Energy
With its vibrant green dial and timeless construction, the Sea Sky Revival continues to honour the brand’s pioneering spirit. It stands as a symbol of exploration, merging the essence of sea and sky through design, craftsmanship, and performance. The new edition reaffirms the maison’s commitment to preserving its heritage while reinterpreting it for a new generation of watch enthusiasts.

FAVRE LEUBA HISTORY
A JOURNEY OF 287 YEARS SINCE 1737
Favre Leuba developed the legendary Bivouac, the world’s first mechanical wristwatch with an aneroid barometer for altimetry and air pressure measurement. 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.
FL251 CALIBREThe 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.
Three 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.
NEW HEADQUARTERS Favre Leuba reincorporated production of their own ébauches in the newly established company, headquartered in Petit-Lancy near Geneva. The company was consequently named at the end of the 19th century as Manufacture d’Horlogerie Favre-Leuba S.A.
280th anniversary of the Maison was celebrated at Baselworld with the launch of the Bivouac 9000, the ultimate instrument for all altitudes.
BRAND AMBASSADORSThe brand supports many athletes and expeditions that express our claim of Conquering Frontiers. Pen Hadow, who led a mission to the Arctic, Satyarup Siddhanta, who embarked on a journey to the Mt. Vinson Massif, and Sayuri Kinoshita, who undertook a world-record dive, are some of the ambassadors representing Favre Leuba and their tool watches.
Within less than a year of its launch, the Raider Bivouac 9000 wins the Watchstars award in the category New Stars for being the best new watch.
50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATHY Favre Leuba celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 1968 superstar Bathy with the Raider Bathy 120 MemoDepth, which measures and records depth to 120 m.
BIVOUAC 9000 SUMMITS EVERESTA great year for Favre Leuba as its pioneering instrument watch, the Raider Bivouac 9000, reaches the summit of Mount Everest. The Bivouac 9000 is the only mechanical altimeter watch in the world to have successfully reached an altitude of 8,848m.
2024
FAVRE LEUBA REVIVAL
Favre Leuba relaunched at Geneva Watch Days 2024 with three cornerstone collections. These collections include the Chief, which features two modern icons: the Date and Chronograph. The brand also introduced the 60th-anniversary Deep Blue Revival and Renaissance models, honoring its diving heritage. In addition, the brand unveiled the Sea Sky, a tribute to their original 70s design.
