Whether on the catwalk or on the wrist, green is making its way into our wardrobe and is secretly becoming the fashion star of 2020. From dark to sage green, the sight of this colour in all its nuances allows us to look positively into the future, gives us confidence and hope. Albert Einstein already knew: “Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better: Favre-Leuba is now presenting its iconic Sky Chief Date in a powerful green robe for a vibrant summer.favre leuba, favre leuba launches new timepieces, new range of timepieces from favre leuba

Endless green landscapes or jungle horizons – green automatically takes us into nature. Whether on hiking trails, walks or boat trips – everywhere we encounter the color. Green stands for purity, passion and new beginnings. Worn on the wrist, it radiates self-confidence and joie de vivre. Combined with a classic office outfit or light summer boat outfit, green brings joy into everyday life, attracts attention and gives us a certain freedom to be ourselves.

Taking inspiration from Favre-Leuba’s past and particularly the 1950’s and 60s, the Sky Chief Date creates the link between the prestigious past to a strong contemporary identity thanks to a minimalist and sleek yet distinct design. Its tetra decagonal bezel contributes to its technical character. The retro-futuristic round shaped case has the distinctive and graceful bridge that can be seen from the side view. After launching successfully, the new 40mm case in 2019, Favre-Leuba is now presenting three new models of the iconic Sky Chief Date in a 43mm size.

What makes it so special? Favre-Leuba is adding two new dial and bezel colors: dark spring green with a satin finish dial, same green surrounded by the refined 18-karat rose-gold bezel, and icy white dial. Favre- Leuba’s initial design brief was to step out of the traditional color palettes as Urs Gottscheu, Technology and Construction Engineer at Favre-Leuba, reveals: “We wanted to slightly move away from the previously restrained colors (black, dark blue, grey) and bring in a fresher look. A well combinable color, which works with a rose gold bezel but also as a standalone with a steel bezel. Wearable every day, not too flashy, but still strong in symbolism and for its wearer.”

With its dark spring green color dial, framed by a steel or 18-carat rose gold bezel, this watch is sure to captivate all eyes. With a diameter of 43mm, it is one of the more striking among its peers and makes a statement on the wrist of its wearer. Whether worn with a classic suit or on a boat trip, it adapts to every situation. A jump into the cool water, this elegant companion dives up to 100 meters into the depths. The Sky Chief is a true statement, subtle in style but captivates attention immediately. Restrained but expressive with perfect balanced symmetry of the displays and proportions for easy readability.

Another detail: the satin-finish case can be adorned with a subtle 18K red-gold bezel highlighting the spring green dial color and adding an elegant note to the refined timepiece. Available with a steel or calf-leather strap both with a folding clasp and safety bracket to fit every occasion. The Sky Chief Date is a perfect companion from day to evening for a smooth transition into every style.
