RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
TITANIUM CASE
In order to allow you to see your Favre-Leuba
watch without difficulty even in poor
light conditions, the hands and index marks
on the dials of most models are provided
with Super-LumiNova® luminous pigment.
Super-LumiNova® is entirely free from
radioactive additives and is charged by
sunlight or artificial light, so a watch should
not be permanently protected from these
light sources.
LUMINOSITY OF HANDS AND INDEX MARKS
Equivalent values for water-resistance in both metric and
Anglo-Saxon systems:

* The values of water depth, given in feet or meters, correspond to the pressure measured
during tests in accordance with the ISO 22810 standard.
Information about water-resistance in
meters, feet or bar refers to theoretical
pressure and temperature test standards
and cannot be equated with the actual
depth of a dive. With watches that are
watertight up to 100 m/10 bar, you can
wash your hands, take a shower and go
swimming; with watches that are water-
resistant from 200 m/20 bar onwards, you
can also go diving
Please note the following information for the
optimal water-resistance of your watch:
• After every action such as manual winding
or setting the time, move the crown back
into position
1
and lock it by pressing and
simultaneously turning it clockwise to
position
0
.
• Protect the crown against impacts.
• Never use the crown or buttons under water.
NOTE:
IMPORTANT:
All of the parts of your Favre-Leuba watch
are made from the best materials. Some of
these parts are subject to natural wear. You
should therefore have your watch serviced
regularly to ensure that it is working
perfectly. The frequency of servicing
depends on the model, the climate in which
the watch is used and the way it is treated.
To ensure that your watch continues to
function perfectly, you should have it
checked by an official Favre-Leuba sercive
center at least once a year. These centers
have the tools and equipment required to
carry out servicing work professionally, and
guarantee that their services meet our strict
quality standards.
The addresses of our service centers
can be found on our website at

SERVICING YOUR WATCH
MATERIALS
Favre-Leuba uses grade-5 titanium for the
Raider Bathy 120 MemoDepth. Titanium
is around 40% lighter than steel, which is
particularly
advantageous for a watch of this size.
Titanium is hypoallergenic and extremely
resistant to corrosion.
SAPPHIRE GLASS
All Favre-Leuba watches have a high-quality
sapphire glass. This is made from
synthetically manufactured sapphires and is
extremely resistant to scratches. In order to
ensure that the watch can always be read
RUBBER STRAP
very clearly, the sapphire glass used has a
non-reflective layer on both sides.
This may become scratched during wear.
However, this is a natural form of wear and
is therefore excluded from the warranty.
As the luminescent pigments retain their
properties, they can be recharged any
number of times. As soon as darkness falls,
the luminosity is at its strongest.
Within the first 60 minutes, it declines
relatively quickly, but gradually thereafter. As
a result, you can see the time display very
clearly, even after five to six hours.
Favre-Leuba straps made from high-quality
rubber display outstanding water resistance
and resistance to ageing. Along with
excellent mechanical properties, they are
also cha racterized by high resistance to
aggressive and extreme environmental
conditions. We recommend cleaning a
rubber strap regularly with soapy water,
especially on the inside.
