Farer Elvington II
Fly-back Chronograph. A very rare thing..
The watch comes in a box with a very tasteful hand-inscribed thanks you for your purchase. Nice touch. Farer is one of the top brands of micro / boutique next to Christopher Ward, Monta, etc.
The first thing that strikes the eye is obviously the dial. On which everything fits beautifully, from sub-dials, painted indexes, date window, hands and markings on the edge of dial. Sapphire glass spans everything perfectly. The crown is partially made of bronze - the hallmarks of Farer.
Case - it's superbly made, in most facets have horizontal and vertical, with polished accents. Pushers have a great movement, you can have the impression that it is a mechanical flyback which already costs a lot more.
Impressions - watch has great dimensions. 40mm / 45mmL2L / 11mm thickness / 20mm between the lugs. This makes watch sits very comfortably on wrist. Unusual color accents are unique and gives the watch fresh vibe. There is nothing similar on the market with Swiss-made trade mark.
Alternatives and price. Price watch a stiff 530 pounds. It's still the cheapest proposal of this mechanism. Next up is the flyback Certina DS2 which costs upwards of £ 700, however, is much larger (43mm) and for me not unique as the Farer. Besides Certina this mechanism can be found in the Breitling Evo Chronospace Night, here is a price of £ 2500. Mechanical equivalent cost you minimum 4500 pounds upwards for the Swiss "Heritage".
On the downsides is the lack of anti-reflection coatings on glass. A bit of shame..for this price.
Anyway I still recommend!
