Discovery Red 36mm

Three hand Swiss automatic watch with a cherry red vertical brushed sunray dial and choice of strap.

SEEING RED

The Discovery Red is an eye-catching everyday watch. The rich cherry red of the dial is broken up by the use of two different finishes. The centre of the dial is textured with a vertical sunray brushing that completely transforms the colour when the light hits it. The effect of this makes it look like the dial is separated into two parts, which evokes the classic “sector dial” designs seen on vintage watches. This richly coloured dial is set off by applied numerals and a syringe handset that have a mirror polish so that they too pop in the light. Furthermore, both the hands and markers are filled with Super-LumiNova so that they’re legible in the dark. Lastly, the Farer ‘A’ at the tip of the sweeping seconds hand provides a subtle pop of pastel blue.

SMALL WORLD

The case of the Discovery Red is crafted from marine grade 316L stainless steel, and measures a svelte 36mm in diameter. Along with a lug length of 41.2mm, and a thickness of only 10.4mm, this makes the watch exceptionally easy to wear. Meanwhile, the case finish is a mix of both brushed and polished surfaces to sit on the line between smart and casual. As ever, the winding crown is inset with our signature bronze cap embossed with the Farer ‘A’. The crystal is a boxed sapphire that provides not only exceptional scratch resistance but something of a retro touch as well.

On the underside of the watch, you’ll find an exhibition caseback, through which you can see the La Joux-Perret G101 movement ticking away. This Swiss calibre has become a firm favourite at Farer because of its reliability, accuracy and specifications. The automatic movement has 24 jewels, a hacking seconds hand, and has been adjusted in four positions.

What we really like about the G101 however is that it packs an impressive 68-hour power reserve, which means that you can take it off Friday evening and it will still be ticking come Monday morning. Just as impressive is the fact that La Joux-Perret achieved this without cutting corners and using a lower beat rate, and the G101 ticks at a smooth 28,800bph (4Hz).

"TIMELESS FORM AND FUNCTION WITH A MODERN EYE FOR COLOUR."

STORY

Named after Royal Research Ship Discovery, she was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in the United Kingdom and launched in 1901. Her first mission was the British National Antarctic Expedition, carrying Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first journey to the Antarctic, now known as the Discovery Expedition 1901 - 1904. The work was truly groundbreaking - recording valuable information on the oceans, marine life and being the first scientific investigation into whale populations. After an extensive restoration project, Discovery is now the centrepiece of a visitor attraction today in the city where she was built, Dundee.
