A beautifully preserved vintage Favre-Leuba Harpoon, presented in unused condition and retaining the protective strip on its engraved caseback. With its distinctive silver-toned dial, compact proportions and characteristic 1960s design, this is a particularly attractive example of one of Favre-Leuba’s most recognizable vintage models. The dial features an elegant two-tone silver finish with a finely textured central section, applied faceted hour markers and the distinctive “Harpoon” signature above 6 o’clock. A framed date aperture at 3 o’clock adds both visual balance and everyday practicality, while the slim central seconds hand and angular baton-style hands complete the period appearance. The polished stainless-steel case retains strong proportions and measures approximately 35.1 mm excluding the crown. Particularly noteworthy is the signed Favre-Leuba crown and the highly detailed engraved caseback, bearing the Favre-Leuba Genève emblem together with the period inscriptions “Antimagnetic”, “Waterproof”, “Swiss Made” and “Shockprotected”. The original protective red strip remains attached to the caseback. The watch is fitted with a black leather strap, giving the silver dial and polished case a clean and timeless presentation. --- Specifications * Brand: Favre-Leuba * Model: Harpoon * Period: circa 1960s * Movement: Automatic * Case material: Stainless steel * Case diameter: approximately 35.1 mm excluding the crown * Dial: Two-tone silver with fine linear texture * Crystal: Acrylic * Functions: Hours, minutes, central seconds and date * Crown: Signed Favre-Leuba crown * Strap: Black leather strap * Lug width: approximately 18 mm * Caseback: Engraved Favre-Leuba Genève caseback with protective strip still present * Swiss Made: Yes --- Condition New / unused vintage condition.
