Resolute 36mm

ICE COLD

The Resolute 36mm is the epitome of what Farer stands for. It takes classic design elements and brings them up to date with bold colours and modern manufacturing techniques. Mounted on the pure white gloss dial are twelve numerals fashioned from ice blue Super-LumiNova. These numerals are capped with a matte black finish that not only gives the dial a very high contrast in daylight but also produces a stunning visual effect when the lume lights up in the dark. These numbers are complemented by a matching black syringe handset and a vibrant burnt orange seconds hand.

SMALL WORLD

The case of the Resolute 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 HMS Resolute, a mid-19th-century barque-rigged ship of the British Royal Navy, specially outfitted for Arctic exploration. In August 1853, hopelessly caught in arctic ice, there was no choice but for the crew to abandon ship, striking out across the ice pack in search of their supply ships. Most of them made it despite egregious hardship, straggling into Beechey Island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, between May and August, of the following year.

The American whale ship George Henry discovered Resolute drifting in the ice pack on September 10, 1855, 1,200 miles from her last known position. Senator James Mason of Virginia presented a bill in Congress to fix up the Resolute and give her back to her Majesty Queen Victoria’s government, as a token of friendship between the two nations. HMS Resolute served in the British navy until being retired and broken up in 1879. The British government ordered a desk to be made from the English oak of the ship’s timbers, and in 1880, the British government presented President Rutherford B. Hayes the gift. A token of gratitude for the return of the HMS Resolute, 24 years earlier. It now sits as pride of place in the Oval Office as the desk of the US president.
