About the Item

This is a Favre-Leuba Bivouac Altimeter Barometer reference 53213. This tool watch features a mint original silver dial, a black bezel, and a manual wind movement. These watches were used by alpinists during the first climbs of the north side of the Matterhorn and in 1960s polar expeditions.
