The Raider Harpoon by Favre Leuba is the ultimate diving watch, keeping only the essentials and omitting everything unnecessary, this is what the watch makers have focused on.
Anyone who loves discovering the mysterious world underwater and cherishes the experience of unfathomable depths, know how easy it is to forget time when in deep blue. A wise diver, however, also know that this can be very dangerous and hence always keeps track of the elapsed minutes that have passed since the dive commenced. This important information thus must always be clearly visible on the watch that is to be a reliable diving companion.
Favre Leuba recognizes the need for such clarity of information and simplified technology in a world that can overpower the senses. The engineers hence designed a watch, Raider Harpoon, which focuses on only the essentials, by making the important minutes much easier and precise to read, in every situation and under every condition. In doing so, the standard form of time indication has been completely rethought, and everything unnecessary has been omitted. The result is further proof of the values such as defiance, ingenuity, that have defined the brand for over the rich 279 years – a diving watch that proves its worth with just one hand.
