WATCH CARE
GENERAL CARE
Every Farer Automatic 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, steel bracelet, rubber strap. Gently wipe off the front and back
of the watch case, steel bracelet or rubber strap 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 resistant to 10ATM / 100M and should be rinsed thoroughly in fresh water after being in contact with salt water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Your watch case, steel bracelet 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 the date or time, please ensure the crown is fully pushed into (home) position 1.
SERVICING & REPAIRS
All 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 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.

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.

SELLITA SW330-2
Swiss Made SELLITA SW330-2 ‘Top Grade’ movement • Hours, minutes, sweep
second, 24hr. Stop second device for precision time setting.
Quick date correction • 25 jewels • Self-winding mechanism with ball bearing •
Up to 56 hours power reserve
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 up to 56 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.
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 (GMT) TIME AND DATE
Gently pull out the crown to position 2. Turn the crown clockwise to advance
the 24-hour hand or anti-clockwise to advance the date. Push the crown back to
position 1.
IMPORTANT: After changing date or time, please ensure crown is fully pushed in to (home) position 1. Only advance the date when the time is after 2AM and before 10PM.
