Overview

It’s wild to think, but when you look at this watch, you’re looking at a piece from the second-oldest registered watch brand in Switzerland. That’s not a typo. Founded in 1737, Favre-Leuba has a history of innovation and quality that is, quite frankly, staggering. While they may fly under the radar for some, for those in the know, the name represents centuries of serious, high-quality watchmaking.

Throughout the 20th century, Favre-Leuba cemented its reputation as a master of the robust tool watch, creating legendary pieces for divers, pilots, and mountaineers. But when the 1970s arrived, with its explosion of color and unapologetically bold design, Favre-Leuba proved they could get funky with the best of them. The “Tornado” line was a perfect expression of this new, exuberant spirit, combining the brand’s tough-as-nails build quality with a design that was pure, uncut disco-era cool.

This particular Tornado is a fantastic and charismatic example of that 70s swagger. It all starts with the awesome, cushion-shaped “TV screen” case in stainless steel. It’s a substantial and comfortable shape that makes an immediate statement on the wrist. But the real showstopper is that incredible blue dial. It’s not just a flat blue; it has a wonderful, finely grained texture, almost like denim or frosted glass, which gives it an incredible depth and plays beautifully with the light. The layout is equally cool, with a mix of applied baton markers and stylized Roman numerals at the poles, and a clean, symmetrical date window at 6 o’clock.
