RAIDER SEA KING
Every watch from Favre-Leuba is made
carefully to the highest quality standards and
undergoes the strictest controls before it is
put on sale. If defects nevertheless occur,
Favre-Leuba AG provides you with an
international warranty for sixty (60) months
from the date of purchase in accordance with
the provisions below. The warranty covers
material and manufacturing faults, which
existed when the purchased Favre-Leuba
watch was delivered.
Please note that the international
Favre-Leuba warranty only comes into
force if the warranty certicate has been
lled out and registered completely and
correctly by an ocial Favre-Leuba retailer.
During the warranty period, you can arrange
for any material or manufacturing fault
covered by the warranty to be repaired free
of charge on presentation of the valid
warranty certicate, however shipping
charges will be levied as applicable. If it is not
possible to rectify the defect and restore
normal use of your Favre-Leuba watch by
repairing it, Favre-Leuba AG guarantees to
replace it with a Favre-Leuba watch with
identical or similar features. Favre-Leuba AG
in turn provides you with an international
warranty for the replacement watch of sixty
(60) months from the date of your receipt of
that replacement watch. Upon expiration of
the warranty period, any repairs will be
subject to a service charge as dened by the
brand.

TOLERANCES FOR WATCH MOVEMENTS
6
RAIDER SEA KING
Your Favre-Leuba watch has an automatic
movement. This means that the natural
actions of your wrist wind up the movement.
The movement, if fully wound, has a power
reserve of at least 38 hours so that you do
not have to wind the watch up every time
you take it o for a short period (e.g. over
night).
WINDING THE WATCH
Release the screwed-in crown (A) by rotating
it counterclockwise and moving it to position
1. Now pull the crown out to position 3to
set the time, which stops the movement.
Turn the crown in the appropriate direction
so that the hands (B and C) show the time
In months with fewer than 31 days, manual
adjustment of the date is necessary. To do
so, pull out the released crown (A) to
position 2. Set the date (E) by turning the
crown clockwise. Then push the crown
back into position 1and screw it by pressing
SETTING THE TIME AND STOPPING THE SECOND HAND
QUICK ADJUSTMENT OF THE DATE
Manual winding is necessary only when you
put your watch on for the rst time or after
a lengthy period of not wearing it. To do so,
release the screwed-in crown (A) by rotating
it counterclockwise and thus moving it to
position 1. Then turn the crown through
approximately 40 clockwise rotations to
wind the watch up fully. Then screw-in the
crown again by pressing and simultaneously
turning it clockwise to position 0.
required. Then push the crown back into
position 1and screw it by pressing and
simultaneously turning it clockwise to
position 0. If the hour hand (B) moves past
midnight (24.00) when setting the time, the
date display (E) jumps forward by one.
and simultaneously turning it clockwise to
position 0. You should not carry out any
quick adjustment of the date between
8.00 p.m. and 2.00 a.m., as the date is
automatically being turned on by the
movement during this time.
MECHANICAL MOVEMENTS
The precision of a mechanical movement
varies depending on the habits of the person
who is wearing the watch.
TOLERANCES FOR WATCH MOVEMENTS
The accuracy of a mechanical watch from
Favre-Leuba is usually between 0 and +14
seconds a day.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Favre-Leuba watch is a precision
instrument of the highest quality. In order to
ensure that it continues to work perfectly
over many years, we advise you to observe
the following recommendations concerning
maintenance and service intervals.
• Do not put your watch on any devices
that generate magnetic elds, such as
loudspeakers or refrigerators. These
magnetic elds can damage your watch.
• Always rinse your watch with fresh water
after contact with sea or chlorinated
water. Allow leather straps to dry in the
air, never on any heating devices.
• As a precaution, avoid thermal and other
shocks.
• Always lock the crown carefully. This is
the only way to ensure that no water can
penetrate the case and the movement.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Clean metallic straps and water-resistant
cases with a toothbrush and soapy water.
Use a soft cloth for drying.
• Note that chemical products such as
solvents and detergents, perfume and
cosmetics can damage the strap, case or
seals.
• Avoid exposing your watch to extreme
temperatures (over 60°C or 140°F and
under 0°C or 32°F) and to large
tem perature uctuations.
• Never use chronograph buttons under
water, otherwise water may penetrate the
case and thus the movement.
All watches from Favre-Leuba are water-
resistant and can withstand water pressure
of at least 30 bar (depth of 300 meters). The
details of the water-resistance of your
Favre-Leuba watch is engraved into the
base of the case. The absolute water-
resistance of a watch is not permanent
and can be aected by ageing of the seals
WATER-RESISTANCE
or by impacts on the crown. We therefore
recommend that you have the water-
resistance of your watch checked annually
or after exposure to unusual stress. This
check must also be carried out after opening
the watch and after servicing. In order to
comply with the terms of the warranty, this
check must be carried out by an authorized
Favre-Leuba service center or an authorized
Favre-Leuba retailer.
Equivalent values for water-resistance in both metric and
Anglo-Saxon systems:
Unit of measure Water-resistance
bar / atm (pressure) 10 20 30 50
m* (meter) 100 200 300 500
psi 145 290 435 725
ft* (foot) 328 656 984 1640
* The values of water depth, given in feet or meters, correspond to the pressure measured
during tests in accordance with the ISO 22810 standard.
Information about water-resistance in
meters, feet or bar refers to theoretical
pressure and temperature test standards
and cannot be equated with the actual
depth of a dive. With watches that are
watertight up to 100 m/10 bar, you can
wash your hands, take a shower and go
swimming; with watches that are water-
resistant from 200 m/20 bar onwards, you
can also go diving
Please note the following information for the
optimal water-resistance of your watch:
• After every action such as manual winding
or setting the time, move the crown back
into position 1and lock it by pressing
and simultaneously turning it clockwise to
position 0.
• Protect the crown against impacts.
• Never use the crown or buttons under
water.
NOTE: IMPORTANT:
All of the parts of your Favre-Leuba watch
are made from the best materials. Some of
these parts are subject to natural wear. You
should therefore have your watch serviced
regularly to ensure that it is working
perfectly. The frequency of servicing
depends on the model, the climate in which
the watch is used and the way it is treated.
However, it is generally advisable to have
your watch serviced carefully every four or
ve years at an ocial Favre-Leuba service
center. These centers have the tools and
equipment required to carry out servicing
work professionally, and guarantee that their
services meet our strict quality standards.
The addresses of our service centers
can be found on our website at

SERVICING YOUR WATCH

MATERIALS
RAIDER SEA KING

RAIDER SEA KING
MATERIALS
All Favre-Leuba watches have a high-
quality sapphire glass. This is made from
synthetically manufactured sapphires and is
extremely resistant to scratches. In order to
ensure that the watch can always be read
very clearly, the sapphire glass used has a
non-reective layer on one or both sides.
This may become scratched during wear.
However, this is a natural form of wear and
is therefore excluded from the warranty.
Favre-Leuba uses rst-class leather for its
straps. In order to ensure that they remain in
good condition for as long as possible, we
recommend
• avoiding contact with water and moisture
as far as possible to prevent the strap
from discoloring and changing shape;
• avoiding exposure of the strap to direct
sunlight over a long period, as the color
may fade;
• keeping the strap away from greasy or
oily substances, solvents, detergents and
cosmetic products.
In order to allow you to see your
Favre-Leuba watch without diculty even
in poor light conditions, the hands and
index marks on the dials of most models are
provided with Super-LumiNova®luminous
pigment. Super-LumiNova®is entirely free
from radioactive additives and is charged by
sunlight or articial light, so a watch should
not be permanently protected from these
light sources. As the luminescent pigments
retain their properties, they can be
recharged any number of times. As soon as
darkness falls, the luminosity is at its
strongest. Within the rst 60 minutes, it
declines relatively quickly, but gradually
thereafter. As a result, you can see the time
display very clearly, even after ve to six
hours.
