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 the correct time.

Watch case, rubber strap. Gently wipe off the front and back of the watch case 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.

WATCH CARE
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
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 program 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

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.

Here’s to the journey
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.
With the crown to 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 38 hours.
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.
