Farer Thurso AquaMatic Sports Watch

Watches built for the adventurous, adrenaline-inclined individuals out there are often not as visually vibrant as the wearer might like but that’s certainly not true of Farer’s AquaMatic series of watches which are about as bold and impactful as they come – particularly the super-cool Thurso offering from within the collection.

The Farer Thurso AquaMatic Sports Watch can be on your wrist for under £1k this summer (with a price tag of £950) and it will definitely bring the cool to the pool, with a vintage colour palette remix. A splash of silver surf covers the dial, framed by a burnt orange minute track and bold dot and dash markers infilled with mint Super-LumiNova. What’s not to like?

A deep blue oversized arrow hour hand and minute pointer hand deliver a clear hierarchy with the Thurso Sports Watch from Farer, allowing for quick readings against the outer sports bezel. It is finished off with anodised teal aluminium and encased in a steel 120-click Swiss-made super smooth unidirectional system. With day/date in classic English or French, this is a watch packed full of function and fun.

The polished case back on the Thurso AquaMatic is decorated in an engraved Farer arrow marque and wave detail, which serves to protect the Swiss-made Sellita SW220-1 movement and Incabloc Novodiac shock-absorber held within and makes it capable of an impressive 41 hours power reserve when fully wound.

Farer’s Thurso Watch is named after one of the strongest waves in the UK. Thurso East, in northern Scotland, is a big, heavy, barrelling surf that rolls across a flat and seaweed-covered reef and which offers a world-class barrel when the incoming tide is just right. Framing the dial of this classy watch is the impressively engineered, unidirectional bezel with an inset aluminium-coloured ring, finely adjusted to 120 clicks.

A completely flat crystal sits within which means no glass is unprotected from side knocks, while an ultra-hardened anti-reflective coating has been applied inside and out to give a clear view whatever the weather. If you’re after a striking watch for your wrist this summer and demand one that can be right by your side wherever your adventures take you, the Thurso is definitely going to tick all the right boxes and, for under £1k, it’s exceptional value for money in the world of luxury timepieces.
