good evening


Another chrono purchase in Valjoux 72, the extremely rare Favre Leuba Sea Sky diving chrono in Valjoux 72, rarer than a Speedmaster 321, a Carrera or a Zenith 146. Favre Leuba became known for the Bathy and the Bivouac, notably as professional watches. The Sea Sky is a very little time encountered because on one hand there were not many produced and on the other hand, the brand had a confidential production of the same level as Roamer. It is a sought after collection watch, mine comes from Italy. I will post my photos as soon as it arrives.


Sincerely


Georges

that's a very clean example you got there. Years ago there was quite a few various model favre leubas to be found in the weekend antique markets in NYC but haven't seen any recently.

it would look pretty snazzy on the original style bracelet. I think the compatible NSA bracelets are an easy find.

Very nice watch you bought thanks for sharing the photos. Andrea has some amazing watches. I have a very large Favre Leuba Deep Blue with a yellow bezel that I love.

It is indeed NSA compatible and I found one new old stock from an ebay seller who supplied me back a new old stock NSA bracelet for my zenith captain
