RARE BIRDS

The 36mm GMT collection condenses Farer’s iconic Lander GMT into a new sleek 36mm case. The original Lander is our most popular model so, for the first time ever, Farer has chosen to keep the same overall design and offer it in three different colour palettes. There’s the original sea-green Lander IV, the spearmint Sea Coast, and the pink Kano, and each one packs a punch of playful colour. These new watches are some of the smallest automatic GMTs on the market, making them rare sights in horology.

SHIPPING 12th DECEMBER

The 36mm Lander IV features an iconic sea-green dial, with a sunray finish that shimmers in the light. This is complemented by a contrasting red GMT hand and an orange seconds hand.

A TRAVELLERS COMPANION

The GMT function dates back to 1884 when an international convention declared Greenwich, England as the ‘Mean Time’ against which the rest of the world’s time zones would be compared. 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.

BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

The dials of each GMT perfectly combine playful colours with exceptional legibility. Each has a sunburst finish that shimmers in the sun and features a triple step to create a subtle sense of depth. Printed over this eye-catching dial are bold Arabic numerals that are filled with Super-LumiNova to ensure that they’re readable in the dark. These are complemented by a printed 24-hour scale and minute track, as well as a discreet date window at three o’clock. Lastly, there’s Farer’s classic syringe handset, along with a seconds hand and GMT hand in vibrant contrasting colours.

CASE

EFFORTLESSLY ELEGANT

The GMT watches use a 36mm stainless steel case that’s just 11mm thick, including the box sapphire crystal. The crystal provides some mesmerizing distortion when viewed at an angle, whilst the case itself features beautifully curved polished sides. The tops of the lugs are brushed, and the lug width is 20mm, which helps to give the GMTs a good presence on the wrist. The crown is inset with a bronze cap, embellished with the Farer A, which will patina over time.

MODERN HERITAGE

Through the sapphire case back you can see the movement powering each GMT, which is the Sellita SW330-2. This automatic calibre is known for its reliability and it features 25 jewels, a beat rate of 4Hz, and a 56-hour power reserve. Furthermore, the GMTs use the Top Grade version of the movement, which means that it’s been adjusted for accuracy in five positions. As you watch the movement tick away, you can also admire the custom skeletonised rotor and perlage finish on the bridgework.

REVIEWS
British watchmaker Farer is well known for doing funky things. I’m not sure if many other brands play with color the same way... Farer has made a successful run of not only offering a huge array of designs, but ones that are packed with color, character, and charm. The trend continues with the new Farer Tonneau line, which offers Farer’s take on the classic barrel-shaped case design, with a trio of predictably intriguing dials.
With the details, and the finishing, and the water resistance, I think the price is correct. These watches are really what I had hoped they'd be... and I'm looking forward to seeing more watches from Farer.
Farer makes fun watches, and the Milan is a fun watch. It breaks away from the traditional circular watches many of us are used to. Adding on to that, it gives Farer a new case to play with. They are no stranger to releasing limited editions and new colorways as their collections mature. The Tonneau collection will undeniably be a hit with their fans as it showcases everything Farer excels at.
Given that this price point makes the new Chrono-Contempo more affordable than comparable options from brands such as Hamilton and Tissot, this latest release from Farer ultimately presents a rather compelling option within the landscape of mechanical chronographs, and it pairs a proven Swiss-made movement with the brand’s signature colorful design language.
By now we’re used to Farer’s unique flavour of design. That’s to say, taking a classic archetype of a watch and playing around with colour and details to give it more than a fresh coat of paint. Usually though, that’s been tackling things like GMTs, Super Compressors, racing chronographs, a run of watches the word ‘accessible’ feels at home next to. But now the British brand is doing something I never would have expected from them: the Farer Tonneau Collection.
