The Swiss independent watch brand Favre-Leuba, founded in 1737 with a history of 282 years, has long been dedicated to nature environments such as mountains and oceans, aligning closely with its brand image of bold exploration and innovation. Leveraging professional watchmaking expertise, it continuously introduces practical timepieces that showcase exceptional craftsmanship.
The latest flagship model, the Raider Bivouac 9000, is a specially developed timepiece for mountaineers. It is currently the only mechanical watch on the market capable of measuring altitudes up to 9,000 meters, beloved by mountaineers and offering outdoor enthusiasts a new perspective on watch appreciation.
The latest Favre-Leuba Raider Bivouac 9000 is an innovative technological creation that continues the classic legacy of practical mechanical watches. The renowned Japanese female mountaineer Junko Tabei, the first woman to summit Mount Everest—the world’s highest peak—made history with this watch on her wrist. At the time, it was Favre-Leuba’s first mechanical watch equipped with an aneroid barometer to measure air pressure and altitude up to 3,000 meters. Every step of the climb to the summit, a life-or-death journey, required immense courage, intelligence, and physical endurance.
Now, this special mechanical design can measure up to an astonishing 9,000 meters, conquering the highest peaks on Earth. The dial features a date display and chronograph function, with a manual-winding movement offering a power reserve of up to 65 hours—key advantages of mechanical watches for multi-day mountain expeditions without worrying about battery depletion or electronic malfunctions due to environmental temperatures. The bidirectional rotating bezel allows for orientation or relative air pressure readings, adapting to various real-life needs such as altitude or pressure changes. With highly practical functionality, the case is made of titanium—a lightweight, wear-resistant, and hypoallergenic material. The 48mm diameter and 18.7mm thickness, paired with a dark gray antelope leather strap, also allow for personalized style expression.
Qiu [Name Redacted], General Manager of exclusive distributor ReboPin Company, explained that Favre-Leuba’s brand philosophy centers on “practicality for all-weather gear,” and the Raider Bivouac 9000 takes this further. Building on its exclusively developed altitude and air pressure measurement mechanical mountaineering watch, it uses advanced materials to extend detection range up to 9,000 meters—making it suitable for all high-altitude mountains worldwide, and serving as one of its flagship models. From now until July 31, anyone purchasing this specific model can join a Swiss Zermatt hiking trip hosted by the brand, taking in the stunning natural beauty of Switzerland. The trip is scheduled for September 19–20, a two-day, one-night journey led by American mountaineer Adrian Ballinger and Swiss brand ambassador Nicolas Hojac, offering a unique watch enthusiast gathering.
In addition, ReboPin Company is offering exclusive extras: a round-trip Zurich flight and one night’s accommodation as the first perk, and if you purchase any Favre-Leuba watch priced over 75,000 NTD, a second watch enthusiast can join—for unbeatable value.
This is a rare opportunity—interested individuals should act fast.
