resented at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, the Harpoon Revival reintroduces a defining 1960s design to Favre Leuba’s collection. While preserving its original proportions and distinctive dial architecture, the new model incorporates a modern self-winding movement.

Its 37 mm stainless steel case, slim 10 mm profile, polished surfaces, and steel bezel preserve the balanced, compact character that defined the 1966 edition.

The crown is embossed with the Favre Leuba hourglass monogram, while the closed steel caseback reproduces the engraved medallion of the original model, complete with the hourglass emblem in the middle, period-correct typography, and the original circular layout of its inscriptions.

Vintage Harpoon model

This revival is introduced with a gray dial, which is consistent with the 1966 Harpoon. It features a modern sunray-brushed finish that interacts dynamically with light.

Applied rhodium-plated hour markers echo the distinctive geometry of the original design, oriented horizontally at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock rather than vertically — a subtle but distinctive detail that sets the Harpoon apart from conventional indexes.

The “Harpoon” signature at six o’clock is rendered in the same stylized typography as the 1966 edition, staying true to the character of the historic dial. A metallic frame surrounds the date aperture at three o’clock enhances clarity in the layout, while rhodium-plated hands filled with Super- LumiNova ensure legibility in low-light conditions.

With a 43.5 mm lug-to-lug measurement and a slim 10 mm profile, the Harpoon Revival retains the balanced ergonomics that defined its predecessor. The sapphire crystal glass is treated with anti- reflective coating, and the case offers water resistance up to 5 ATM, suitable for an everyday mechanical watch.

The Harpoon Revival comes paired with a leather strap in black, secured by a stainless steel pin buckle bearing the Favre Leuba signature. The strap also features an easily interchangeable mechanism, allowing the wearer to change the strap without the requirement of tools, enhancing versatility.

Powering the watch is the FLD04 caliber, based on the La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering an extended 68-hour power reserve, the movement brings modern reliability and performance to a historic design.

“The Harpoon represents a defining chapter in Favre Leuba’s history,” says Patrik P. Hoffmann, CEO of Favre Leuba. “For its 60th anniversary, we focused on preserving the proportions and character that made the original so distinctive, while elevating the mechanics to meet contemporary expectations.”

This timepiece reinforces Favre Leuba’s commitment to precision-driven revivals that honor the brand’s archives while remaining entirely relevant today.

The Harpoon Revival retails for CHF 1’800.
