Crooms II

NEW LEVELS OF REFINEMENT

Updated for 2022 with sapphire insert bezel along with the date moving to the six o' clock dial position - for improved balance and legibility, in line with the GMT Bezel collection. Inside the case, the power unit has been upgraded with the SELLITA SW330-2 Top Grade GMT movement, delivering a 56 hour power reserve.

A watch that looks good in any time zone, the Crooms II GMT Bezel demonstrates how style and substance can be perfectly balanced with its unique dial colour combined with tool functionality. The unique iridescent deep red sunray finish has been refined to create a change in depth and colour depending on the surrounding light. Raised highly polished markers infilled in Super-LumiNova frame the dial, held by the 3 and 9 numerals in custom British font ‘LL Brown’ - a development of the original London Underground geometric font designed for clear readability. The external bi-directional GMT bezel has been designed to create a strong visual balance to the overall watch without being overbearing, and clicks into reassuring position at 24 hour points using the floating rotation ratchet system.

TRAVEL LIGHT

The GMT Bezel case is a multi-faceted beauty. Made of marine-grade 316L stainless steel, circular brushed top with precision highly polished bevel edges, horizontal-brushed sides, set against a polished back - creating a visually light effect to a robust case. Individually numbered and measuring a comfortable 41mm diameter on the wrist, 44mm lug-to-lug and 12.3mm in height. The case is framed by the external 24 click rotation bi-directional sapphire GMT bezel, for quick time-zone setting. The recessed steel crown with Farer bronze cap can be screwed down to hold a water resistance depth rating of 200m / 656ft, making this just at home on land or at sea.

Powered by the Swiss Made SELLITA SW330-2 Top Grade GMT movement. Offering a quick setting date and 24 hand adjustment, bringing a level of practicality to this travel focused complication. 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 and read against the bezel. The outer hour bezel can also be used to track a third time zone. Turn the bezel until the new time zone is aligned with the GMT hand. To revert to the second time zone turn the bezel until ‘24’ is aligned with the Farer arrow. The date change is linked to the traditional hour hand (local time).

“A serious tool watch,
built to explore.”

STORY

Crooms Hill, Maze Hill, and Charlton Way are the three roads that surround Greenwich Park in London, the fourth side is held by The Royal Naval College that backs on to the River Thames. The Park is where the Royal Observatory is situated - home to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). GMT dates back to 1884 when an international convention declared Greenwich, England as the ‘Mean Time’ against which the rest of the world’s time navigation would be compared. Still used as the global time zone alignment, it was popularised as a watch function by the globe trotting Pan Am pilots of the 1950s.
