Being a fan of Oris day/date pointer complication designs, I was intrigued to recently come across the Farer Field Watches, using essentially the same movement but within a much more robust looking and water-resistant case. Therefore, I decided to order one of the few remaining Lomond models, as I felt the dial design was the least busy and therefore easier to read at a glance, day or night, of the three options available. A very nicely presented package turned up within a couple of days of ordering, however, I was slightly disappointed on opening the box to notice dust under the protective foil covering the crystal and a heavy patina to the crown insert, which gave the impression I was possibly not the first recipient of this particular watch. Plus, in the evening under artificial light, a very small blemish became just visible on the dial. So, I contacted Farer using the online contact form regard the mark on the dial and was pleased to receive a prompt reply and return post label, with a replacement being sent within a couple of days; rare these days to see such faultless customer service. This replacement was thankfully blemish free and looked far more factory fresh on unboxing with no dust and a brighter crown insert. Only been wearing the watch a couple of days but so far, I’ve been very happy with the accuracy and clarity in daylight, though I feel the dial lume could do to be a little brighter in the dark, a very minor point mind. The overall design seems to have a retro military instrument feel to it, sort of thing I imagine you might find on a ‘Cold War’ submarine and a reassuring built like a ‘Sherman tank’ heft of indestructability. So, despite the initial slight disappointment, I’ve still given five stars, as this Lomond Field watch is in danger of becoming my go to daily wear outside of work, it really is a very nice watch and very comfortable on the wrist with an alternative single pass NATO style strap.
