Raider Bivouac 9000

The Raider Bivouac 9000 homage to the original model, dating to the early 60s, with its inbuilt mechanical altimeter. The hand-wound timepiece runs on FL311 calibre that offers a 65-hour power reserve. Its 48mm barrel-shaped titanium case appears bulky, but is lightweight. The stone grey dial with silver hour and minute hands, matches its grey antelope leather strap. Other Favre Leuba iterations are mostly dive watches, but this model is designed for those willing to scale loftier heights. While the 60s timepiece could measure heights up to 3,000m, the current model goes up to 9,000m. The central red hand measures altitude up to 3,000m with a single rotation. The sub-dial at three o’clock indicates the altitude up to 9,000m after the central red hand makes three rotations. For ease in instantly comprehending altitude, both hands are of the same red hue. This sub-dial also indicates air pressure. The small seconds sub-dial sits at nine o’clock, power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, and the date aperture is at six o’clock. The watch offers only 30m water resistance, so steer clear of any water bodies or watersports.
