NORTHERN LIGHTS
The Bradfield is a modern twist on the classic pilot’s watch that puts a focus on legibility. At first glance, the Arabic numerals look like a standard feature, but a closer look reveals that they’re applied blocks of Lumicast - Super-LumiNova blended with ceramic. These are overprinted with dark navy blue so that they appear backlit as they glow in the dark. The other defining feature of the Bradfield is the inset sky blue minute track. Not only does it help give the dial more depth, but it also adds to the level of luminescence as the entire ring is fully lumed with Grade A Super-LumiNova. Along with the alpha-style hour/minute hands filled with yellow Super-LumiNova, this makes the Bradfield a watch that will light up the sky at night.
FEATURES
Light Show - The Bradfield is packed with Grade A Super-LumiNova, with Lumicast numerals, lumed hands, and a fully lumed inset minute track.
Flight Case - Each watch has a large 37mm dial housed in a snug 39mm case with short lugs, to deliver maximum dial size with no compromise on wearability. Cleverly achieving an exceptionally legible, yet remarkably comfortable watch for any wrist.
Faraday Cage - Thanks to our inner soft-iron Faraday cage, the watch is protected from any potentially harmful magnetic fields up to 500 Gauss. This is over eight times the standard level of anti-magnetic protection required to comply with ISO 764 certification for anti-magnetic watches.
Swiss Precision - The watch is powered by the robust Swiss Made Sellita SW200-1 automatic calibre. A real pillar of Swiss movements, renowned for its accuracy, dependability and longevity.
STORY
Frances Beatrice “FB” Bradfield graduated from Cambridge University in 1917, breaking the mould for a woman of her time. Bradfield was then one of the first women recruited to the Royal Aircraft Establishment, where she became an expert in wind tunnels - championing their role in aeronautical development and earning the complete respect of her male peers.
The Faraday cage is named after scientist Michael Faraday, who invented the concept in 1836. The cage's conducting material distributes any external electrical field around the cage, essentially creating a shield - so that it cancels the magnetic effect within the cage's interior.

Farer watches often come together in a manner that makes them both eminently wearable and clearly identifiable, and that’s more important than holding fast to the archetypes of dive watches, world timers, and even pilot watches. →
The design of early “three-hander“ pilot watches never spoke to me. They just looked too much like a dashboard instrument and not enough like a watch. Farer however took that design and transformed it into something that really grabbed my attention. →
A pilot watch is an essential addition to any watch lover’s lineup of timepieces and if you find yourself in the market for a new one right now, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better candidate for the job than these Farer Pilot Watches, which combine style and substance effortlessly. →
