RARE BIRDS

The 36mm GMT collection condenses Farer’s iconic Lander GMT into a new sleek 36mm case. The original Lander is our most popular model so, for the first time ever, Farer has chosen to keep the same overall design and offer it in three different colour palettes. There’s the original sea-green Lander IV, the spearmint Sea Coast, and the pink Kano, and each one packs a punch of playful colour. These new watches are some of the smallest automatic GMTs on the market, making them rare sights in horology.
Lander IV 36mm

Automatic GMT dual time watch with date, sea green dial and Granolo leather strap.

The 36mm Lander IV features an iconic sea-green dial, with a sunray finish that shimmers in the light. This is complemented by a contrasting red GMT hand and an orange seconds hand.

A TRAVELLERS COMPANION

The GMT function dates back to 1884 when an international convention declared Greenwich, England as the ‘Mean Time’ against which the rest of the world’s time zones would be compared. The ‘local’ hour/minute hands work on 12-hour time, while the ‘dual time’ GMT hand is independently adjustable to set to any 24-hour time zone.

BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

The dials of each GMT perfectly combine playful colours with exceptional legibility. Each has a sunburst finish that shimmers in the sun and features a triple step to create a subtle sense of depth. Printed over this eye-catching dial are bold Arabic numerals that are filled with Super-LumiNova to ensure that they’re readable in the dark. These are complemented by a printed 24-hour scale and minute track, as well as a discreet date window at three o’clock. Lastly, there’s Farer’s classic syringe handset, along with a seconds hand and GMT hand in vibrant contrasting colours.

CASE

EFFORTLESSLY ELEGANT

The GMT watches use a 36mm stainless steel case that’s just 11mm thick, including the box sapphire crystal. The crystal provides some mesmerizing distortion when viewed at an angle, whilst the case itself features beautifully curved polished sides. The tops of the lugs are brushed, and the lug width is 20mm, which helps to give the GMTs a good presence on the wrist. The crown is inset with a bronze cap, embellished with the Farer A, which will patina over time.

MODERN HERITAGE

Through the sapphire case back you can see the movement powering each GMT, which is the Sellita SW330-2. This automatic calibre is known for its reliability and it features 25 jewels, a beat rate of 4Hz, and a 56-hour power reserve. Furthermore, the GMTs use the Top Grade version of the movement, which means that it’s been adjusted for accuracy in five positions. As you watch the movement tick away, you can also admire the custom skeletonised rotor and perlage finish on the bridgework.

REVIEWS
There’s a lot to like here: the proportions are just right, the dial is vibrant with great legibility, and for those who care, it’s got a newcomer movement that’s poised to be a proper challenger to more common options... The Farer 36mm Three Hand Discovery Red is an excellent addition not just to the brand’s catalogue, but to the expanding list of new 36mm watches being offered.
This is not the first Farer we've had on the channel, and it probably won't be the last. That's because every new model from them seems to get my mouth watering. The Farer design team definitely aced their exams in school because these watches just have amazing proportions, and great colours, and always bring something new to the table.
Of course, this being a British watch and us Brits – other than anyone working on the Isle of Man – like accessibility. In this case it’s a finely-finished movement in an even more finely-finished and much quirkier watch, complete with moonphase, for £1,475. That’s the kind of value you only come across on a blue moon which, incidentally, isn’t one Farer have gone for here.
I'd say the level of finishing on here is on par with a much more expensive watch. These retail for around $2,395 and I would say this is well on par with some of the IWC's or Breitlings that I've seen on the channel, and quite a few other of those highly finished luxury watches that are in their five to seven thousand dollar range... I guess you really have to see one of these in person, but I have to say I'm very impressed with this.
Priced at £1475, the Farer Eddington Moonphase Watch is great value for money and a worthy addition to any watch collector’s line up of timepieces. The moon phase of the Eddington uses a disc that’s meticulously hand-painted in Switzerland and adds a real touch of class to the aesthetic. Against the midnight blue sky is a lumed white moon that glows strongly in the dark and delivers a visual impact that is beyond compare.
