Instruments for flight

Instruments for flight

 Ultimate trust is the key to designing instruments for flight - perfect accuracy and total clarity when in the cockpit. The new Farer Pilot collection features a soft-iron Faraday cage, conducting magnetic interference away from the movement to ensure reliable timekeeping. While the utilitarian aesthetics and big dial designs allow clear legibility in the most demanding conditions. Built for modern explorers, above the clouds or on the ground.

HIGH LEGIBILITY

The dials reflect on their original purpose in the cockpit as robust and reliable navigational instruments with high legibility at the core of the distinctive designs. Following the function over form mantra, the dials have been reduced to the bare essentials with bold hands, clear markings and controlled use of colour. The physically big 38mm dials but very wearable size, is cleverly achieved by being held in a pure vertical 39mm case - creating the very maximum size dial without having an overly large external shaped case on the wrist.

SUPER-LUMINOVA

Intricate solid castings and fine applications of the highest Grade A Super-LumiNova pigments have been utilised across the collection to deliver the highest possible afterglow performance. Creating one of the most important features for a pilot watch - the presence of bright lume for reading the time with ease day or night. The effect of the lume is further boosted with the application of anti-reflective treatment inside and out of the domed sapphire crystal, meaning nothing is reflected back into the dial for blurred readings.

FARADAY CAGE

Pilot’s watches were born from function. A cockpit is one of the most magnetic environments a watch will encounter and can have detrimental effect on a watch - slowing, speeding or even stopping a movement. Thanks to our Faraday soft-iron inner cage - any harmful magnetic fields are neutralised around the Swiss Made SELLITA SW200-1 movement, delivering a high level of anti-magnetic protection at ISO 764 Certification: 500 Gauss. The screw down case back has been finished in highly polished steel with the Farer anti-magnetic marque showing the protection of the Faraday cage within.

REVIEWS
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.
I’m always conscious of sounding like a broken record when I talk about Farer because without fail, I mention how they are the masters of bold colours. I could realistically point to any of their new watches from across the last two years and they’d be fun, fresh and colourful.
There is no question, if you wanted to use the Farer as the archetypal definition of a British watch, it would be an excellent choice. Its inspiration is deep and meaningful, and the character Farer has tried to inject into the design works very well. This does feel like a vintage traveller watch.
At its price point, just under a thousand, the Aquamatic has some stiff competition... With all that said, Farer blows the competition out of the water. The Aquamatic’s closest competitor in terms of quality and attention to detail probably lies several hundred dollars north. The quality and number of fine details on the Aquamatic are astonishing, given the price.
