The three different dial designs of the Aqua Compressor collection have been intricately developed to put clarity at the forefront to deliver a set of highly functional tool watches. While the different detailing of the collection from floating dials and raised markers to engraving and overprinting techniques all come together to create intricate dials with elegance. All supported by a bolder take on the classic Farer syringe hands, the Farer oversized dive hands in polished steel have a prominent split minute hand marking for quick identification of dive time.

Designed for function, the Aqua Compressors feature Super-LumiNova for maximum afterglow and a flawless finish quality, creating high-clarity dial views even in the lowest light conditions. It works like a light storage battery, where light charges the battery and afterwards the light is continuously emitted. This activation and subsequent light emission process can be repeated again and again, and the material does not suffer any ageing. It is chargeable with sunlight or artificial light. Mixed with a suitable specific binder, Swiss Super-LumiNova is applied on all Aqua Compressor dials and hands.

Each Farer Aqua Compressor is supplied with two straps. Firstly, a black natural rubber thick-edged strap with a secure oversized tool buckle, featuring the Farer ‘A’ and wave pattern inner grip detailing. Secondly, a 316L stainless steel tapered bracelet with two-way clasp and safety locking mechanism + in-built extension allowing it to be worn comfortably over a wetsuit. The bracelet has been detailed with a brushed finish on the surface against subtle, highly polished sides with the Farer ‘A’ on the clasp – fully adjustable by link extraction or addition.

The Farer Aqua Compressor collection is powered by the Swiss-made ETA 2824-2 Elaboré Non-Date Movement. This is a rare piece from ETA, in that it features no date within the mechanics to make this 100% functional for the diver’s needs. A highly reliable, workhorse movement, adjusted in three positions with omegametric timing for chronometers, average rate of +/−12 seconds/day.

Not ones to hide anything away, we believe quality movements should be seen and appreciated. We have developed a screw down back case to hold the flat sapphire crystal exhibition glass, both utilising compressor gaskets to secure the water resistance and withstand the high pressures to 300m/1000ft. Each watch is individually numbered around the exhibition glass, making your watch unique to you. From your birth date to your lucky number, select your favourite number before it’s gone.

Turning over the Aqua Compressor case you’ll see the bespoke ETA rotor has been detailed in a raised bronze overprinting technique with the Farer submersible three wave design and lettering. As an Elaboré ETA movement it has been finished with snailing (or as the French say more eloquently ‘Perlage’), a round fine detailed decoration on the metal to beautifully catch the light. Powering a 38 hour power reserve when the movement is fully wounded.
