Historical Background

Favre-Leuba is one of Switzerland’s oldest watch manufacturers and produced a number of distinctive tool watches during the mid-20th century. The Day-Matic Waterdeep is a particularly uncommon model within the brand’s vintage dive watch range, featuring a characteristic rotating bezel and robust stainless steel case design. Surviving examples are considered scarce and are seldom encountered compared with more common vintage dive watches of the same era.

Finding original cases for rare vintage dive watches is often more difficult than finding movements or replacement parts. This Favre-Leuba Day-Matic Waterdeep case offers an opportunity for a restoration project or as a donor for an incomplete example.
