The Farer Endurance Watch (£925) is a striking new addition to the brand’s lineup, designed to capture the adventurous spirit of its namesake, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s legendary ship, Endurance. Limited to just 100 pieces, this timepiece blends the practical ruggedness needed for exploration with a unique and modern aesthetic that sets it apart from other Farer watches.
The 39.5mm steel case of the Endurance is treated with a titanium carbo-nitride (TiCN) PVD coating, giving it a dark gunmetal grey finish. This coating enhances scratch resistance and durability, while also giving the case a ceramic-like appearance. The interplay of polished and brushed surfaces, combined with the TiCN coating, results in a watch that is as stylish as it is tough, perfect for adventurers who crave both form and function.
Housed in this rugged case is a dark grey dial with intricate detailing. The raised centre has a vertical brushed finish, while the outer ring features a radial brush, creating an eye-catching contrast. A white minute track runs along the dial’s edge, with bold jade green numerals marking five-minute intervals. The applied hour markers are crafted from Lumicast, a mix of Super-LumiNova and ceramic, giving them a glowing backlit effect that has become a signature of Farer watches. The syringe-style hands are emerald green, filled with white Super-LumiNova, while the seconds hand is jade green with a striking orange Farer ‘A’ tip.
The Endurance comes fitted with a bespoke leather strap that is as stylish as the watch itself. The strap features a smooth black upper with a supple jade green lining, creating a harmonious look that ties together the vibrant highlights of the dial. The 316L stainless steel buckle, finished in gunmetal to match the case, adds a refined touch to the overall design.
Inspired by the story of Shackleton’s Endurance, which was built for the icy polar conditions and ultimately became a symbol of human resilience, this watch embodies both strength and elegance. Its Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G101 movement boasts a 68-hour power reserve and a soignée finish, ensuring precision timekeeping and long-lasting performance.
With its distinctive design, superior craftsmanship, and connection to one of history’s greatest tales of endurance, the Farer Endurance Watch is a must-have for anyone seeking a unique timepiece that blends style, history, and adventure.
