The Roché World Timer is my third Farer, and they just seem to get better and better. Not that there was anything the matter with my first two! I reckon it's a simply stunning design - with this one Farer have outdone themselves by achieving this in a 39mm case.
I ordered the Roché (on black Barenia) because I thought the cities were easier to read, but I love all three designs so it wasn't any easy choice. The fully-lumed inner bezel is also very cool. Through an optical illusion the white actually makes it wear a bit larger than the case size would suggest; at least, that's what I've found when placing it next to a 39mm watch with a uniform black dial.
Some other salient points that may not be obvious at first glance:
- all aspects of the case are finished to a high quality - even the inner faces of the lugs are polished;
- matt mid-section emphasises the slim case, and almost seems to sparkle in bright light;
- neither crown is screw-down, which I think is quite okay on this watch as it makes adjustments easy while on the wrist. Note, there is still 100m WR;
- the crown at 10 o'clock has a good amount of resistance to accidental turning, and it has a ratcheting action, so the cities snap precisely into position. The crown also has a segmented engraving that mimics the dial design;
- colour-matched date wheel;
- short lugs let the case hug even a smallish wrist;
- luxurious strap, with quick-release pins, and the free keeper has a nice amount of tension which hugs the free end of the strap.
Very much looking forward to Farer's next 39mm release.
