The Stratton makes its long-awaited return with an updated moon graphic packed with more detail than ever before.
This new moonphase disc is created in Switzerland by AJS Production, using their own unique process. Using precision lasers to micro-etch multiple layers of paint and Super-LumiNova, AJS can render an incredibly photorealistic moon less than 6mm in diameter. The finished disc is stunning, and it’s the perfect demonstration of why Swiss watchmaking is held in such high regard.
Supporting this star feature is the Stratton’s stone dial, cut from black Eisenkiesel. Eisenkiesel is a type of quartz, and the German name translates to “iron pebble”. This refers to the distinctive veins of iron compounds that run through the mineral, which are a golden-brown hue that makes the stone the perfect choice for our first gold-coloured Moonphase. As Eisenkiesel is a naturally occurring mineral, each watch will have its own distinctive appearance.
The hour markers mounted onto the Eisenkiesel dial are a blend of batons and numerals made from Lumicast, a mix of ceramic and Super-LumiNova. These offer excellent legibility in the dark and are paired with a sharp, polished lance handset and a crisp white minute track.
With its striking blend of warm gold tones and the natural patterns of the Eisenkiesel dial, the Stratton exudes the luxury traditionally associated with the moonphase complication, and it’s immediately apparent why the Stratton is one of Farer’s best-selling watches of all time.
100 units are available in the initial batch, with further batches planned for 2027.
Please note that due to Eisenkiesel being a naturally mined stone, the dial will be unique to each watch and will differ from the pictures shown.
FEATURES
Rock Star - The dial of the Stratton is made from a piece of eisenkiesel, a semi-precious gemstone that is mined, cut and polished into a unique dial that is just one millimetre thick.
Lunar Orbit - Each moonphase disc is manufactured in Switzerland and features a photorealistic moon set against a starry sky. What’s more, the moons themselves are painted using Super-LumiNova so that they glow brightly in the dark.
Curvaceous Comfort - The cushion case sits comfortably on any wrist, with a thickness of only 11.5mm and a compact lug-to-lug of 43.8mm.
Manual Drive - The watches in the Moonphase collection are powered by a Swiss-made Sellita SW288-1 Ma Elaboré Grade movement. This hand-wound calibre is highly decorated, with blued screws, snailed finishing, and a bespoke Farer embossed patterned bridge. All of which can be viewed through a sapphire case back.
Moon Light - The watch features hour markers made from Lumicast, a blend of ceramic and Super-LumiNova that offers unbeatable legibility at night. Naturally, the hands are also filled with Super-LumiNova.
STORY
The Stratton is named after Frederick Stratton, who was a decorated veteran of the First World War and a noted mathematician and astronomer. Born in Birmingham in 1881, Stratton showed an early aptitude for academics, winning several awards, and went on to join Caius College, Cambridge. During the First World War, he served with distinction as an officer and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and mentioned in dispatches five times. He was also awarded an OBE in 1929 for his war service. In peacetime, Stratton returned to a scientific career, eventually becoming Professor of Astrophysics and Director of the Solar Physics Observatory from 1928 to 1947. He was also president of the Royal Astronomical Society between 1933 and 1935, and in 1952, he was awarded the Prix Jules Janssen by the Société astronomique de France.

The Farer design team definitely aced their exams in school because these watches just have amazing proportions and great colours, and always bring something new to the table.→
When I find out one of the most design-conscious British brands is tackling this most traditional complication, my curiosity is piqued.→
The Moonphase collection features a big personality within a trim 38.5mm case that’s not shy on details itself, but the star of the show is undoubtedly the enormous moon depicted within the aperture that dominates the top half of the dial.→
