To aid in ascension and help the climber assess the situation and decide on the next step forward the timepiece has a built-in altimeter. The lowering air-pressure is recognised by the watch and signals on the watch\u2019s subdial signalling different a new weather system approaching as well as allowing the wearer to keep track of the altitude. The altitude dial at the 3 o\u2019clock position shows the air pressure in hPa and the altitudes up to 9000 metres. After its launch, the Favre-Leuba Raider Bivouac 9000 was praised for being the first watch to display altitudes that high. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other features on the watch include hours, minutes and small seconds. The dial features a power-reserve indicator, a date aperture and a small second\u2019s subdial. Its red central hand displays altitudes of 3000 metres per full rotation. The watch has a hand-wound movement FL311 movement, a 65-hour power-reserve with exclusively designed mechanisms for the altimeter and the power-indicator indicator. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/product59346-4319_cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\ufeffFavre-Leuba Raider Bivouac 9000\" class=\"wp-image-20780\" width=\"210\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/product59346-4319_cropped.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/product59346-4319_cropped-191x300.jpg 191w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/product59346-4319_cropped-510x802.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/product59346-4319_cropped-360x566.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/product59346-4319_cropped-300x472.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/product59346-4319_cropped-120x189.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The watch is built with robust and lightweight materials to ensure comfortable and long-lasting wear.
