Introducing the Farer Pilot Collection
Hot off the release of their GMT Bezel collection, Farer has announced three new watches to form their Pilot collection. In typical Farer fashion, each features a unique design, only loosely referencing established archetypes of the genre. What?s more, the new watches are using Faraday cages to meet ISO 764 standards of anti-magnetism. The real star of the show here are three individual dial designs and color schemes that are thick on Farer personality.
The three models of the Pilot collection each house a Faraday cage inside a 39mm case. That may sound small for a pilot watch, but the dial of each is pushed right to the edge, with next to zero bezel getting in the way. The large dial gives the watch a much larger visual appearance without compromising the actual footprint on the wrist. The cage does mean a bump in thickness, which is listed at 12mm, though our calipers read 12.95mm. Still plenty wearable, but the added top section of the case is noticeable. The lug to lug measurement is 45mm thanks to short but shapely lugs. The Bradfield
Leading off we have the Bradfield, which receives a white dial with a light blue minute ring placed inside the Arabic hour numerals. The ring is stepped down from the plane of the dial creating some depth, and each ten minutes gets a red marking. Yellow broadsword hands provide a final pop of contrast to the dial. Lume is handled by exceptionally bright Grade A Super-LumiNova, which is placed around each of the hour numerals...
