Favre Leuba Deep Raider Day Date 00.20311.110.02.200

Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the 40mm case continues the Deep Raider collection’s compact and confident proportions. At 12.5mm thick with a balanced 48.2mm lug-to-lug profile, the timepieces deliver a reassuring wrist presence while remaining highly wearable through everyday use. The architecture combines vertically brushed surfaces with polished accents along the contours of the case, giving it a sharper sense of definition under light. The unidirectional ceramic bezel reinforces the watch’s professional dive-watch identity, while the 300-meter water resistance speaks directly to Favre Leuba’s long-standing commitment to functional watchmaking.

Positioned at 3 o’clock, the date and bilingual day displays introduce a practical complication that integrates naturally into the Deep Raider’s design language. The day indication can be adjusted in either English or German directly through the crown operation, allowing the wearer to select their preferred language with ease. Once set, the mechanism maintains the chosen language during every daily transition, creating a seamless ownership experience grounded in mechanical precision and everyday usability.

Created exclusively for the Day Date edition, the new ombré dial brings a deeper sense of texture and atmosphere to the Deep Raider collection. Each dial begins with a vivid concentration of color that gradually darkens toward the lower half of the display, producing a fluid ombré effect that transforms continuously under changing light conditions. Available in salmon, green, blue, and burgundy, the dials feature sandwich construction, with a metallic base layered beneath transparent lacquer, creating a rich sense of dimensionality across the surface. The visual effect recalls the shifting tones of early morning light and the fading glow of dusk, capturing the quiet passage of time through color and reflection. Rhodium-plated hands and applied markers sharpen the overall presentation with a crisp, highly legible finish.

The unidirectional-rotating bezel features a ceramic insert built for durability and precision. Defined knurling around its edge ensures confident handling, whether above or below the surface, while the luminous marker at 12 o’clock maintains visibility in darker environments. More than a visual element, the bezel reinforces the timepiece’s purpose-built nature as a modern dive watch made for active wear.

The integrated stainless steel bracelet continues the Deep Raider’s streamlined profile with a triple-link construction combining brushed outer links and polished central links. Secured by a butterfly clasp, the bracelet also features a tool-free easy interchangeability system, enabling a seamless, tool-free transition between the steel bracelet and any rubber strap from the Deep Raider Renaissance collection.

Powering the Deep Raider Day Date is the self-winding FLD05 caliber, based on the Sellita SW-220-1. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) with 26 jewels, the movement delivers a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. Designed around practical daily functionality, the caliber integrates both day and date indications while maintaining reliable precision.

The rhodium-plated hands and recessed indexes are filled with Super-LumiNova® C1 X1, emitting a blue glow for enhanced legibility in dark environments and underwater conditions. The luminous bezel dot and other markers further reinforce visibility, ensuring consistent readability at any hour.
