SIMPLY RED
The Crooms is a Farer classic thanks to its combination of an exceptionally clean design and bold colour. With its uncluttered layout, your eye is immediately drawn to the rich burgundy dial with its luxurious sunburst finish. Onto this striking dial are mounted the polished hour markers, which are a mix of sleek batons, interspersed with numerals at three and nine, and the Farer logo at twelve. The batons are notched at the tips so that the minute track cuts into them. At 5-minute intervals, the minute track’s print switches to a bold orange. Meanwhile, the hour and minute hands are polished bevelled swords, with a polished seconds hand that has a bright “postbox red” Farer logo at its tip. Lastly, the GMT hand is a saturated sky blue that provides the perfect contrast against the red dial. This GMT hand is used in conjunction with the bidirectional rotating bezel. Underneath a sapphire insert is a 24-hour scale that allows you to track a second time zone. Naturally, the Crooms is just as legible in the dark as in the light thanks to a heavy application of white X1 Super-LumiNova.
All of this is housed within a brand new 40mm steel case that features the distinctive “ski slope” lugs first seen in our Chrono-Contempo collection. Finally, as a thoroughbred tool watch, the Crooms has 200m of water resistance, a screw-down crown, and a box sapphire crystal.
FEATURES
Sublime Slopes - The lugs are the defining feature of the GMT Bezel case. In addition to a large polished chamfer that cuts into the brushed finish, the lugs themselves have a “ski slope” shape where the tips curve slightly upwards. It’s a subtle touch that has a big impact on how the watch feels on the wrist.
Reliable Mechanics - Powering this GMT is the Sellita SW330-2 automatic movement. This dependable calibre beats at a smooth rate of 28,800 bph (4Hz), contains 25 jewels and has a 56-hour power reserve. What’s more, this is the 'Top Grade' version of the SW330, so it’s been adjusted for accuracy in 5 positions.
Afterglow - To guarantee eligibility under all conditions, the watch’s hands and markers have heavy applications of X1 Super-LumiNova.
Turnaround - To track a second time zone the bezel is bidirectional and has a 24-hour scale protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal insert. When used with the coloured GMT hand, the wearer can read the time in another part of the globe.
STORY
The Crooms is named after Crooms Hill, which along with Maze Hill and Charlton Way, is one of the roads that surround Greenwich Park in London. The park is famously home to the Greenwich Observatory which established the Greenwich meridian that was the international standard prime meridian from 1884 to 1974.
It is from the Greenwich meridian that the concept of Greenwich Mean Time originated, which is the idea of using the time as measured at the meridian itself. Before this, the measure of time was highly localised, not just to individual countries, but also to specific regions within them. For example, it wasn’t until 1880 that Greenwich Mean Time was legally adopted throughout the whole of Great Britain.
As the world entered the Jet Age in the 1950’s, the need for watches that displayed multiple time zones dramatically increased. Thus GMT watches established themselves as one of the key complications of modern horology, and took their name from the Greenwich Mean Time that our modern time zones originated from.
