WATCH CARE

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: After changing time, date or moon phase please ensure crown is fully pushed into (home) position 1.

• 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 Sellita 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.

BRITISH DESIGN. SWISS MADE.

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.

SELLITA SW288-1 MA

MANUAL WINDING

• Your watch has a manual movement, which means that it needs to be wound by hand to function. With the crown in position 1, gently wind the crown clockwise, after 8-10 turns you will start to feel resistance and the crown will spin back when released, as you continue to wind the resistance will increase. After approximately 32-35 turns or when the resistance stops the crown turning your watch is fully wound. Your watch has a power reserve of approximately 45 hours. The best way to ensure good operation is to wind the watch daily.
• 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.
• SETTING THE TIME
  • Gently pull out the crown to position 3. Turn the crown until the correct time is displayed. Push the crown back to position 1.
• SETTING THE DATE
  • Gently pull out the crown to position 2. Turn the crown clockwise until the correct date is displayed. Push the crown back to position 1.

SETTING THE MOON PHASE

• Before setting the moon phase check how many days have passed since the date of the last full moon. Moonphase calendars are available online and on the Moonphase collection page at farer.com
• Gently pull out the crown to position 2. Turn the crown anti-clockwise until the moon is in the centre of the aperture, this is how the full moon is displayed. (see diagram below)
• To set the correct position of the current moon turn the crown anti-clockwise and advance the moon one position for every day since the last full moon. Push the crown back to position
• IMPORTANT: Only advance the date or moon disk when the time is after 2AM and before 10PM. After changing time, date or moonphase please ensure crown is fully pushed into (home) 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.
