Brand heritage

Favre-Leuba is one of the oldest Swiss watch brands, tracing its origins to 1737, when Abraham Favre was registered as a watchmaker in Le Locle. The firm is remembered for technical tool watches such as the Bivouac of 1962, the first wristwatch with an altimeter and barometer, and the Bathy of 1968, the first dive watch with a mechanical depth gauge.

Model history

The New Morning collection appears in watch-fair documentation of 1993, placing it within the Favre-Leuba range of the 1990s. It was a Swiss quartz sports model in the dive-watch idiom, with a timing bezel, sapphire crystal and 100-meter rating, and its sculpted bracelet with FL-signed end link is the most distinctive feature of the design.
