Favre Leuba Peseux 7001
A vintage Favre Leuba Peseux 7001 dress watch with the sublime Peseux 7001 manual wind calibre, this calibre was made between 1971 – 1985 (Pic 3). ETA made a version of the calibre from 1985. The ETA/Peseux 7001 is a very reliable handwinding movement used by a lot of brands like Limes, Nomos (modified with 3/4 plate), Baume & Mercier, Blancpain (cal 7001, modified), Bucherer, Chronoswiss, Eberhard & Co., Enigma, Louis Erard, Maurice Lacroix, Omega (cal 651, modified), Paul Picot, Tissot.

The Antea with ETA 7001 is still available, the 7001 movement Stowa uses currently is a bit different to the 7001 they used before (matter of finish) but it is still a 7001.
As soon as I saw this watch I decided instantly to purchase it. I have been looking for a Favre Leuba watch to add to my collection for some time. It seems to be getting harder to find unmolested examples. Lots of watcheare available but many seem to have cheap redials in far away places on a well known online auction site, with the majority of the quality of the redial work ranging from average to terrible.

The dial is totally original and a classic two hander, the watch is stainless steel with a lovely elegant mesh bracelet with the company’s logo on the clasp (Pic4) below.
