History of Farer Watches
Farer Watches was established in 2015 as a British watch company. A group of friends who were passionate about watches.
They wanted to create something different and started the business. And started by creating and designing high-quality watches based on travel’s golden age.
With their main focus on precision and dependability. They wanted to create timepieces that were both stylish and useful.
In 2016, Endurance released the first Farer watch. It was given the name of the ship that was used by Sir Ernest Shackleton on his famous expedition to the Antarctic.
The watch was successful, and watch enthusiasts adopted it pretty fast. Farer has continued to release new models over the years, each with its design and features.
Their use of vivid colours, intricate dial designs, and high-quality materials. All these have made them famous.
Farer Watches is now a well-known brand in the watch industry. People all over the world appreciate their watches.The company’s dedication to style and quality wear of their timepieces are beyond amazing
In this article, we have listed some of our favourite Farer watches.
Farer Aquamatic Thurso
Farer AquaMatic Thurso SCUBA diving has advanced far beyond its military origins.
So to become a fun and safe recreational activity. Plus, watches aren’t even commonly used as diving safety devices. Thus, shouldn’t we all have some fun?
The answer is a resounding “yes” for the young British brand Farer. The brand’s most recent dive watch, the AquaMatic.
It applies Farer’s boldly colourful charm to a dive watch. It should fit smaller wrists and budgets.
Case
The case is simple and has a brushed finish. Along with a crown-recessed pocket, and 20mm lug spacing. This makes it possible to use a variety of straps.
The bezel has 120 light clicks and is unidirectional. As is typical for 120-click designs and bezels at this price point.
While its bezel grip is only average and has a small amount of wiggle in its action. On a whole, it’s user-friendly, if a little too smooth around the edges.
As one would expect, the AquaMatic shines brightest when worn on the wrist. The case’s shape and proportions are lovely despite the medium size.
The bold display shows off the smaller dimensions to provide a lot of presence. This is especially true when you put on the bracelet, which is exceptional for the price.
Dial
The Thurso gets its name from the town of Thurso East in Northern Scotland. It’s known for having some of the best surfing in the area, including the Thurso Open.
The Thurso has a silver dial with a teal bezel and a bright orange minute ring. The markers and hands have green lume colouring that is bordered by dark blue edges.
A white seconds hand with a punchy pink-red tip completes the complex colour scheme.
The Thurso has its presence. It is surprising for a person with fairly conventional tastes in dive watches. In my view, all these colours go well together.
Due to the overstated nature of the markers and hands, legibility is excellent. Due to the extensive use of Super-LumiNova on the hands, markers, and bezel, the lume is also excellent.
Last but not least, there is a day-date display at three that is useful and works well for dial balance. Dial text is negligible.
The matte silver base of the dial assists with holding the tones back from overwhelming the plan.
Movement
Talking about power, the AquaMatics have an automatic Sellita SW220-1 movement. It ticks at 4 Hz and has a 41-hour power reserve.
It provides Swiss timekeeping at a price where Miyota has become much more common.
Although it is not a fancy movement. They are dependable, simple to maintain, and generally uncomplicated.
Exactly what one would expect from a dive watch. Farer continues to offer a warranty of five years on their products.
Strap
Although the rubber strap and the bracelet both have quick-change spring bars. I won’t switch back to the rubber strap after I put it on.
The wristband is completely brushed with a five-connect design. It shapes to 17.5mm at a butterfly catch.
The bracelet is very comfortable on the wrist. Even though this clasp does not provide any micro-adjustment. But, the bracelet has several links that can be removed for change.
The NATO straps and the rubber straps, like the bracelet, are of high quality. Plus they work well with the AquaMatic Thurso.
All things considered, and not overlooking my typical hate for wristbands.
I observed that the Thurso was at its best on the steel. Considering that Farer includes every one of the three choices. Each AquaMatic proprietor will want to find their inclination.
Farer Stanhope II
The Stanhope II is a keeper for me because it has a careful blend of sharp detail, colour, and ergonomics.
Farer has succeeded in creating a dial that is modern and fresh. Still, its design is quite mid-century.
Case
The first Stanhope case was only 37mm. But, this Stanhope II features a brand-new case design.
These bat-eared lugs have a faint resemblance to the lost Rolex Viceroy. Which is why I remembered it from someone else.
Other than this, there are no indications of homage; all that’s there is a well-designed soft case. Yet, the three-part case structure does remind me of a Ferrier pebble, which is quite a compliment.
Let’s put it this way: the soft case sides are “temptingly strokable.”
The large onion crown is a work of art, and the square-rounded bevelled bezel has a rakish touch. As it comes from beneath the cuff. It is positioned with comfort.
The Sellita calibre’s hand-wound feel is silky smooth. It has the right amount of resistance. The round crown likewise makes winding it a fantastic, harmony-inciting exercise.
Strap
The 38.5 mm case with a 43.8 mm lug stretch is perfect for my wrist. When compared to the 10.5mm slim case, I was at first surprised by the thickness of the navy St. Venere strap.
But, despite trying on a slimmer leather strap, the thickness works out well.
Between the hauls, the case is slit. So the delicate calfskin settles into the case closes. It causes it to feel coordinated.
This makes a strap that should be too big to fit like a glove. The navy colour and subtle texture are sophisticated. It has the right amount of formality.
With a logo clasp that is well-fitted, brushed, and polished. The Farer beats a few Swiss watches that cost €2,000.
Dial
It appears that I am one of the few people who are aware of this term. Why?
A short-sleeved polo shirt is referred to as a “piqué shirt” or “tennis shirt” in Norway. This is expected to be the finished, wicking texture of a Lacoste polo.
Keeping in mind that not seem to be a delicate Shirt, I get the term. Stanhope II has a sharp texture.
I would describe it as a miniature Clous de Paris, and the choice of silver was carefully considered.
The dial is a two-layered plan with the rehaut minute track and seconds register recessed in dark. This makes it rich in the procedures.
The delicate pattern of red minute markers crossing a blue line. The two Stanhope II accent colours encircle the piqué silver centre of the rehaut.
The many details will surprise you at close range and place the dial squarely in the 1960s-70s era.
Movement
The Farer watches are Swiss-made and proudly British in design. The Sellita SW216-1 was an excellent choice because of its slim design and smooth winding.
At 45 hours, the power reserve isn’t groundbreaking. But when the winding is so satisfying, who cares? The elaboré calibre has blued screws, a perlage, and a balance wheel at 12.
It is perfectly positioned, making it one of the most attractive case backs available for less than €1,000.
The Farer wordmark is engraved on a sharp-looking wedge-shaped bridge on the right. It adds visual interest.
The sapphire is surrounded by a brushed ring with all specifications. The production number is engraved, highlighting the eye-catching nature of the hand-wound movement.
Yes, there are only 200 Stanhope IIs sold for €985, and my lucky number is 198. But, that does not mean that there are only two remaining. You get to select a number from the list.
Farer Maze GMT Watch
Dial
Although I do not have any academic evidence to support my belief. For me, the dial is solely responsible for my reaction. It should be.
I ignored the Charlon and Crooms, the other two models that Farer introduced, without a care in the world. But, this dial that says “swimming pool tiles” has instant magic.
Indeed, Farer calls it, “pool tiles”. I didn’t even think about it until I read about it in the press release.
I’ll be honest: I don’t buy it. I can’t see the tiles for the pool. For me, it’s nothing more than square paper! the same squared paper that you and I adored as kids.
I was always terrified of white, blank paper and also lost in the endlessness. Did’nt know where to begin.
But, the squared paper was an ideal playground. It allowed me to move my hand from square to square until I discovered new shapes.
The squares made things easier. Also, take a look at what Farer built on it. It is very lavish without being sarcastic. It is original and creative while remaining grounded.
If the shapes, colours, and proportions make you laugh, go ahead. Still, in the end, you realize that it is outstanding.
Available colours
I would have thought that looking at the jumble of colours used to decorate the busy dial.
It would make my head explode. I needed a magnifying glass to see the dial’s relief structure.
The pattern is made up of thin grooves rather than just lines printed on the white background. Look at the markers now.
They are large enough to serve as coasters! Oh, and that size makes the lume colour tone have a larger impact.
I must admit that this gentle blue tone caused me to consider: Isn’t it a watch for a woman?
What was said?
It is not, no. After a week of wear, the light blue feels fine, I can assure you. Even the GMT triangular tip’s salmon-like lume feels completely masculine.
The Bezel
The bezel requires a paragraph. I don’t know how you do it, but the manufacturing quality is important to me because I use the bezel a lot.
For instance, this one ranks higher. When compared to the recent Mido Decompression Timer.
It feels and performs better, is stronger, and is more precise. Instead of the usual click, it makes a muffled bang instead.
I would describe it as jumping up only to immediately plunge into another position, rather than rotating. It is so satisfying. Additionally, I adore the unusual aluminium bezel ring with its tarmac-like surface structure.
