FARER 36mm Discovery Black Velvet
BRITISH DESIGN. SWISS MADE.
Congratulations on purchasing a Farer watch.
At Farer, we are passionate about creating watches that are the perfect
companions for life’s adventures. Farer watches are inspired by the halcyon
era of watchmaking, when bold colours and contrasting textures were combined
with the very best craftsmanship. Our watches are named after iconic British
explorers, vessels and locations that perfectly define the true spirit of
Farer: ambition beyond the ordinary. Thank you for your support. Here’s to the
journey.

WATCH CARE
MANUAL WINDING
Your watch has an automatic movement, which means that the motion of your wrist is all your watch needs to function. However, if you have not worn your watch recently, you can give the mechanism a boost either before or after you have set the time. At position 1, wind the crown clockwise 10-20 times to start the movement. This will power the mainspring of your watch. The rotor will continue to wind the watch as you wear it. Fully wound your watch has a power reserve of approximately 68 hours.
IMPORTANT : Take care when winding the crown. Do not force the crown to turn as this will permanently damage the mainspring that powers your watch. To manually wind to full power reserve, approximately 80 full turns of the crown are required.
SETTING THE TIME
Gently pull out the crown to position 2. Turn the crown until the correct time
is displayed. Push the crown back to position 1.
INTERCHANGEABLE STRAPS
Our strap mechanism allows you to easily change the look of your watch in
seconds, without the aid of a tool. All our straps fit wrists that measure
between 16cm to 23cm.To change the strap, pull back the lever to release the
pin. Whilst holding back the lever, place pins into lug holes. Once lined up,
release lever to secure the strap.
GENERAL CARE
Every Farer watch has been constructed to withstand the test of time. However,
like all precision mechanical devices, your watch needs a regular service and
proper care. Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight or heat. Normal
sports activities will not affect the watch’s functionality. However, any type
of violent shock may upset the movement and ability to keep correct time.
CLEANING
Watch case, rubber strap and steel bracelet. Gently wipe off the front and
back of the watch case, rubber strap or steel bracelet using a clean and
slightly damp cloth. Dry and polish your watch with the Farer superfine
microfibre cloth. Leather straps. Clean regularly with a specially formulated
leather care balm. Avoid getting leather straps wet.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use chemicals to clean your watch.
STAINLESS STEEL CROWN WITH BRONZE CAP
The signature Farer bronze cap will patinate as it is exposed to the elements.
It may also over time develop a soft green tone depending on the acidity of
the wearer’s skin. If you wish to return the bronze cap to its original
condition, use a pinhead-size blob of metal polish and a fine polishing cloth
to gently remove any tarnish. We recommend Peek metal polish.
WATER RESISTANCE
Your watch case is water resistant to 5ATM / 50M. Your watch case and rubber
strap should be rinsed thoroughly in fresh water after being in contact with
salt water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not submerge a leather strap
because the water will damage the natural material.
IMPORTANT : To ensure the full water resistance of your watch the crown must be pushed fully in to position 1. We also advise you not to wear in a hot shower.
SERVICING & REPAIRS
All component parts are manufactured from the best materials. However, some
parts are subject to natural wear. This is why we recommend that you have a
maintenance service carried out on your watch every 3-4 years. Contact Farer
for further information about our servicing programme or use a reputable watch
technician who has an expertise in La Joux-Perret movements. If in doubt about
the quality of service needed to uphold your warranty, please contact Farer.
Your warranty may be affected if your watch is not properly serviced.
WATCH STRAPS
Watch straps are guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defects at the time
of purchase but are not otherwise guaranteed because they are expected to
undergo normal wear and tear. Leather watch straps typically have a finite
life span, as perspiration and body oils degrade natural leathers over time.
WARRANTY & GUARANTEE
Your Farer watch is covered against manufacturing defects for 60 months / 5 years from date of purchase. Upon presentation of the warranty card duly completed, dated and signed by the authorised Farer dealer, alongside proof of purchase, the right of guarantee will be honoured by the official Farer Service Centre. This warranty excludes the watch case, glass, crown, straps and any damage caused by excessive use or under conditions exceeding water resistance limitations. Please contact Farer to obtain more information.
