Favre Leuba New Watches 2026: Harpoon Revival & 1737 Triple Calendar

The historic Swiss maison expands its rebirth with two major launches unveiled in Geneva

Favre Leuba New Watches 2026 make a strong debut at Watches and Wonders 2026, led by the Harpoon Revival and the all-new 1737 Triple Calendar, showcasing the brand’s growing renaissance.

These two releases represent different sides of the brand’s nearly three-century legacy. The Harpoon Revival celebrates a bold 1960s design icon, while the 1737 Triple Calendar introduces a refined complication-focused collection inspired by the founding year of the maison.

Harpoon Revival: A 1966 Design Returns

The new Harpoon Revival marks 60 years since the original model debuted in 1966. Rather than radically reinterpret the concept, Favre Leuba has chosen a faithful approach, preserving the proportions, dial architecture, and balanced character that made the original distinctive.

Its stainless steel case measures 36.8 mm in diameter with a slim 10 mm thickness and a compact 43.5 mm lug-to-lug distance, delivering elegant vintage-inspired proportions suited to modern wear. Polished surfaces and a classic steel bezel reinforce the timeless appeal, while the crown carries the Favre Leuba hourglass monogram.

The closed steel caseback recreates the engraved medallion of the historic model, complete with period-correct typography and the hourglass emblem, adding an authentic archival touch.

Classic Dial Design with Modern Execution

The Harpoon Revival launches with a grey sunray-brushed dial inspired by the original 1966 edition. Applied rhodium-plated markers preserve the unusual horizontal orientation at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock, a subtle signature that sets the Harpoon apart from more conventional layouts.

The Harpoon script at 6 o’clock uses typography faithful to the vintage model, while a framed date aperture at 3 o’clock improves symmetry and legibility. Rhodium-plated hands filled with Super-LumiNova ensure readability in low light.

Modern Mechanics Beneath a Vintage Exterior

Powering the Harpoon Revival is the FLD04 automatic calibre, based on the La Joux-Perret G100 movement. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivering a 68-hour power reserve, the movement brings modern dependability to a nostalgic design.

The watch is paired with a black leather strap featuring a tool-free quick-change system, improving versatility for everyday use.

With a retail price of CHF 1,800, the Harpoon Revival stands out as one of the most accessible heritage-inspired Swiss mechanical releases of the year.

1737 Triple Calendar: A New Pillar for Favre Leuba

Alongside the Harpoon, Favre Leuba introduces the new 1737 collection, named after the year founder Abraham Favre began the watchmaking journey that would become one of Switzerland’s oldest maisons.

The inaugural model is the 1737 Triple Calendar, adding classical calendar and astronomical complications to the modern lineup. It becomes the fifth pillar of the brand after Chief, Deep Raider, Sea Sky, and Harpoon.

More than a nostalgic exercise, the watch draws from Favre Leuba’s historic calendar references such as the 1946 Datora and the triple calendar moon-phase models produced during the 1950s.

Complication Watchmaking Meets Contemporary Design

The 1737 Triple Calendar is housed in a sharply styled 39 mm stainless steel case with a modern geometric silhouette inspired by Favre Leuba’s bold 1970s designs. Measuring 12.11 mm thick with 100 metres of water resistance, it balances elegance with practicality.

The dial is richly layered and highly refined. A sunray centre is framed by a brushed pointer-date track and a snailed minutes ring. Applied 4N gold-finished indexes combine Roman numerals and baton markers for a sophisticated multi-texture presentation.

Twin apertures at 12 o’clock display the day and month, while a moon-phase display at 6 o’clock adds visual symmetry and traditional watchmaking charm.

The FLD06 Movement and Elevated Finishing

Inside the 1737 Triple Calendar is the FLD06 automatic calibre, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 56-hour power reserve. Favre Leuba states a maximum deviation of +/-5 seconds per day, reflecting a strong focus on practical precision.

Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement features a 4N gold finish, skeletonized rotor, Côtes de Genève, blued screws, perlage, and diamond snailing. Flush-mounted correctors at 2 and 10 o’clock allow easy adjustment of the month and day displays without external pushers disrupting the case design.

The 1737 Triple Calendar retails for CHF 3,500.

Technical Specifications

A Strong Statement from Favre Leuba

With these two launches, Favre Leuba demonstrates that its revival is built on substance rather than nostalgia alone. The Harpoon Revival delivers accessible vintage charm and everyday practicality, while the 1737 Triple Calendar introduces a more ambitious expression of traditional complications.

Together, they show a brand using its archive intelligently while building a coherent modern identity. For a maison relaunched less than two years ago, the presence of Favre Leuba at Watches and Wonders 2026 feels less like a comeback and more like the start of a serious new chapter.
