Favre-Leuba’s Raider Bathy 120 Memodepth is the only diving mechanical tool watch of it's kind. Measuring depth and maximum depth UP TO 120 meters while using a fully mechanical movement.
Favre-Leuba has a long-standing heritage dating back to 1737, making it the second oldest Swiss watchmaker. Creating companion watches for those who conquer frontiers.
Our testing with the watch proved that it works flawlessly, showing accurate depth readings at all the targeted expedition spots we wanted to explore.
The spots in our expedition while using the watch were unexplored by us (undocumented locations) and the watch proved it’s worth by allowing us to record accurate depth readings at that location, while showing us the maximum depth we achieved at that day which was 15 meters respectively (while freediving), that was at the location’s ocean floor where we usually inspect healthy reefs and determine how cooler currents affect shallow-water coral reefs. We are always interested to see the defining line between a high density coral reef area and the point or line where reefs can’t survive anymore, which often looks like a featureless sand flat or a rocky fall into greater depths.
The watch is made out of titanium, which is light and durable at the same time, perfect for our adventures. It’s winding mechanism is robust and feels of high quality. The rotating bezel is clicky and never got jammed or felt that it would fail us any time soon. The numbers and readings are quite accurate and visible allowing us to easily determine depth and time while underwater. The rubber strap while hard to adjust for casual wearers, is solid and durable. This watch is clearly made for people with the purpose of conquering frontiers. It’s both a beautiful watch for daily wearers, and an extremely useful tool, best of both worlds. The watch isn’t cheap, but it’s capabilities, engineering, and design are all well worth it.
We'd like to thank Favre-Leuba for choosing us in this exciting experience, giving us the chance to test one of the most unique mechanical watches ever created, built for conquering frontiers.
