Favre Leuba is back at it again with a dynamic duo that’s sure to make your wrist feel like it’s at the starting line of a Grand Prix or leisurely strolling through sun-kissed dunes. Say hello to the Chief Chronograph British Racing Green and Dune editions. These aren’t just watches; they’re stories wrapped around your wrist!
Now, when you hear British Racing Green, you might think of thundering engines and open roads. This edition channels that exact spirit with its vibrant dial that plays a cheeky game of peekaboo with light, shimmering between lively green and a shadowy hunter tone. It’s like your dial had way too much espresso and now refuses to sit still. For those who prefer their adventures a bit sandier, the Dune edition serenely invites you to a palette reminiscent of golden landscapes with warm rose-gold accents elegantly brushing its surfaces.
Ah, but the beauty lies not just in the dials. The soul of these chronographs houses the automatic caliber FLC02, crafted with the prowess of a Swiss watchmaking ballet, without the overpriced ticket. The movement is impressively swiss (cue the cowbell), promising precision without sacrificing drama—thanks to its elegant column-wheel chronograph setup.
Flip these beauties over and the sapphire crystal back reveals a spectacle of engineering finesse. It’s like a tiny watchmaking opera going on under your nose: Geneva stripes, perlage, and heat-blued screws make sure that even peeking at the back of your wrist is a treat.
The case design, inspired by Favre Leuba’s cheeky 1970s spirit, boldly stands at 41mm with just the right amount of wrist hug. And while they look bold, they’re not chunky; thanks to a deftly integrated bracelet and a sleek rubber strap option, these watches are as versatile as they are gorgeous. Whether you’re dressing up or preparing for a spontaneous beach adventure, they’re with you.
