Light Side Of The Moon

The Moonphase collection offers a fresh interpretation of one of the oldest complications in watchmaking. The moon is hand-painted in Geneva, Switzerland using Grade OL X1 Super-LumiNova, which makes for a striking sight during both day and night. Each model in the collection has a different coloured moon, which is inspired by the different shades the moon can appear under certain conditions.

LUNAR ORBIT

The star feature of the Moonphase dials is of course the moonphase complications themselves. Each disc is hand-painted in Geneva, Switzerland and features a textured moon set against a starry sky. What’s more, the moons themselves are painted using Super-LumiNova so that they glow brightly in the dark. This classic complication is complemented by applied markers fashioned from blocks of Grade OL X1 Super-LumiNova, and three colourful dials that contrast with the moonphase to make it jump out at you.

CASE

COMFORT WITHOUT COMPROMISE

The Moonphase collection uses a 38.5mm steel cushion case that combines smooth curves and flawless finishing. The result is a watch that’s both comfortable and elegant on the wrist. The polished bezel has a subtle brushed chamfer that frames the dial, which sits beneath a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Meanwhile, the curved sides have a polished “grain twist” texture that breaks up the case’s silhouette and provides some understated texture. As a final touch, the case is scalloped between the lugs to allow the strap to sit snugly against it without any gap.

REVIEWS
Given that this price point makes the new Chrono-Contempo more affordable than comparable options from brands such as Hamilton and Tissot, this latest release from Farer ultimately presents a rather compelling option within the landscape of mechanical chronographs, and it pairs a proven Swiss-made movement with the brand’s signature colorful design language.
By now we’re used to Farer’s unique flavour of design. That’s to say, taking a classic archetype of a watch and playing around with colour and details to give it more than a fresh coat of paint. Usually though, that’s been tackling things like GMTs, Super Compressors, racing chronographs, a run of watches the word ‘accessible’ feels at home next to. But now the British brand is doing something I never would have expected from them: the Farer Tonneau Collection.
I’m always conscious of sounding like a broken record when I talk about Farer because without fail, I mention how they are the masters of bold colours. I could realistically point to any of their new watches from across the last two years and they’d be fun, fresh and colourful.
There is no question, if you wanted to use the Farer as the archetypal definition of a British watch, it would be an excellent choice. Its inspiration is deep and meaningful, and the character Farer has tried to inject into the design works very well. This does feel like a vintage traveller watch.
At its price point, just under a thousand, the Aquamatic has some stiff competition... With all that said, Farer blows the competition out of the water. The Aquamatic’s closest competitor in terms of quality and attention to detail probably lies several hundred dollars north. The quality and number of fine details on the Aquamatic are astonishing, given the price.
