·For sale is a very nice and rare Favre-Leuba Bivouac Ref. 53223 aka when Function meets Funk.
The Favre-Leuba Bivouac Ref. 53203 was launched in 1962 and was the first wrist watch with Altimeter / Barometer function.
This watch belongs to the third evolution of the Bivouac vintage series and is according the production numbers the rarest.
I have used this watch very often on my tours in the swiss alps, so the altimeter function was very important for me. Here as example above 2200m
IMO is this the best built Favre-Leuba watch series (design, function, quality).
