Add CLASSIC STEEL BRACELET WITH BUTTERFLY CLASP FOR 39.5MM WATCHES + $170.00

ALMOST BAUHAUS

The Palmer is an almost minimalist addition to Farer’s best-selling GMT collection. With its pearlescent opaline dial, the Palmer has a useful GMT function for tracking a second time zone and a high-contrast dial that’s easy to read. The baton hour markers are Lumicast, a blend of Super-LumiNova and ceramic that produces solid luminous blocks These are then overprinted with black onto their tops so that they’re perfectly legible in daylight as well as darkness. These batons are paired with a black syringe handset that’s also filled with ice-blue Super-LumiNova. The 24-hour scale for use with the short GMT hand is printed inside the batons, and both the GMT hand and scale are a vibrant teal so that they can be picked out at a glance. The last splash of colour is provided by the orange seconds hand, tipped with the Farer A, and matching orange minute markers at the end of each applied baton.

As such a minimalist watch, the Palmer stands somewhat apart from the other GMTs, which is why this model is a limited edition of only 150 pieces.

The stainless steel case of the Palmer GMT measures 39.5mm across and is just 10.8mm thick. This is an excellent all-round size that’s very comfortable to wear, and the Palmer sits very unobtrusively on the wrist. The case features a polished bezel and case sides alongside brushed lug tops, which gives the watch a versatile smart-casual aesthetic that means it can be dressed up or down. As usual, the winding crown is inset with our signature bronze cap embossed with the Farer ‘A’. The crystal is a boxed sapphire that provides exceptional scratch resistance and has been given an internal anti-reflective coating to guarantee legibility.

Powering the Palmer 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 solid power reserve of 56 hours. What’s more, this is the 'Top Grade' version of the SW330, so it’s been adjusted for accuracy in 5 positions, and you can see this beautifully decorated movement ticking away through the sapphire case back.

STORY

The Palmer GMT is named after Edward Henry Palmer (1840-1882), who was an English orientalist and explorer. He expressed an interest in other cultures from a young age and would study Middle Eastern cultures whilst at Cambridge University.
In 1869 he participated in a survey of Sina undertaken by the Palestine Exploration Fund, and the year after that he explored the desert of El-Tih on foot and unescorted by locals. After this Palmer returned to England, where he published several reports on his travels, and by 1871 he was married and the Lord Almoner's Professor of Arabic at Cambridge University.
In 1882 Palmer embarked on a journey to the Middle East in order to secure the neutrality of the Arab Sheiks in the ongoing Egyptian conflict known as the Urabi Revolt or the Urabi Revolution. It is whilst engaged in carrying out these negotiations that he and his party were ambushed and killed. His remains were recovered after the war and are now interred in St Paul’s Cathedral.
