Favre Leuba Bathy V2.
Who does remember this watch?
Unveiled circa 2008, it was a conversation piece, at that time.

The common point between these 2? The mechanical depth gauge.
While the original was 40 mm big, the re interpretation is a totally different beast, with its 46 mm big, 18 mm high titanium grade 5 case, water resistant to 300 meters.
The retail was a bit ambitious, for the new one, which may explain that it didn't have the success it deserved, though.
Best,
Nicolas

Thanks for your reply
I’d always very interested in Favre Leuba watches. The unique aura their models breathe is one of a kind. So pure, it’s core in the language of wrist watches.
Very nice watch
Original, unique and have good readability, sometime this point is omitted, but at the end of the day, it is a Divers watch !
