<\/a><\/p>\nFarer Stratton II Moonphase<\/p>\n
Farer found a winning formula with the original Stratton Moonphase back in late 2025. It quickly became a firm favorite with fans, mostly because Farer managed to marry a rich, tactile stone dial with proportions you could actually wear every day. The new version keeps that soft cushion silhouette and sweeping sapphire crystal, though, according to the press release, the case has grown ever so slightly to make room for the new laser-etched disc. At 39 mm wide, 45 mm long, and 11.8 mm thick, it remains easy to wear.<\/p>\n
The finishing on the gold-PVD-coated 316L steel case looks incredibly tactile. Farer balances a high-polish bezel with its signature \u201cgrain twist\u201d pattern on the sides for a textured look. A rounded steel crown, topped with a solid bronze cap featuring the embossed Farer \u201cA\u201d logo, anchors the right side and adds a thoughtful touch of independent engineering to the design.<\/p>\n New laser-etched moons<\/p>\n When Farer launched its Moonphase collection in 2023, the earliest models used traditional painted dials. However, the Stratton version \u2014 the second model in the broader Moonphase collection to feature a stone dial \u2014 introduced natural eisenkiesel quartz to the lineup. Farer continues with this striking material, featuring random, golden-brown iron veins running through the stone. Indeed, for those looking for a timepiece that feels unique, no two watches will look alike.<\/p>\n The moonphase display itself gets a significant makeover. Replacing the moon illustration seen in the first model, Farer has collaborated with Swiss specialists AJS Production to create a tiny, intricately crafted one measuring under 6 mm wide. To achieve this, multiple layers of paint and Super-LumiNova are laser-etched onto the disc\u2019s surface to mimic our Moon\u2019s three-dimensional craters. To ensure you can read the time against the stone dial, Farer also uses Lumicast ceramic-lume numerals and baton indexes and a sharp white railroad minute track.<\/p>\n On the dark side of the moon<\/p>\n Turning the Stratton II over reveals the hand-wound, Elabor\u00e9-grade Sellita SW288-1 M a. Running at a smooth 28,800 vph with a 45-hour power reserve, this 18-jewel Swiss-made movement is adjusted in three positions and contains Incabloc shock protection for robust daily wear. Along with the oversized moonphase display, it offers a hacking seconds hand and a practical quick-set date indicator at 6 o\u2019clock. Farer didn\u2019t skimp on the decoration, either. Peeking through the case back\u2019s sapphire display, you\u2019ll find bridges engraved with the brand\u2019s bespoke arrowhead \u201cA\u201d pattern, stunning blued screws, and lovely snailed and perlage finishes.<\/p>\n Farer sensibly kept the case\u2019s 50m water resistance and versatile 20mm lug spacing. Strap-wise, quick-release spring bars let you easily switch things up depending on your mood. Farer also offers several options, ranging from rich suede to Granolo leather, all secured with a matching gold-PVD-coated buckle.<\/p>\n Final thoughts<\/p>\n Priced at \u20ac2,225 \/ US$2,175 \/ \u00a31,895, the new Stratton II carries what I\u2019d call a pretty modest \u20ac100 \/ US$100 \/ \u00a370 premium over the original model. But the second you get this watch in hand and see what the brand has done, that extra cost feels well justified. Look at the stunning laser-etched detail on the updated lunar disc, for example, not to mention the moody depth of the Eisenkiesel stone dial. Farer<\/a> has done it all, capturing the traditional luxury vibe of a high-end moonphase complication without making it inaccessible. It\u2019s an upgrade that first-generation fans will instantly appreciate, while offering newcomers a taste of Farer\u2019s technical maturation.<\/p>\n Watch specifications<\/p>\n Model<\/p>\n Stratton II Moonphase<\/p>\n Dial<\/p>\n Black eisenkiesel quartz with Lumicast numerals and markers, black moonphase disc with a laser-etched photorealistic gold moon in Super-LumiNova<\/p>\n Case Material<\/p>\n 316L stainless steel with gold PVD coating<\/p>\n Case Dimensions<\/p>\n 39mm (diameter) \u00d7 45mm (lug-to-lug) \u00d7 11.8mm (thickness including crystal)<\/p>\n Crystal<\/p>\n Curved sapphire with multilayer antireflective coating<\/p>\n Case Back<\/p>\n 316L stainless steel with gold PVD coating and sapphire crystal, affixed with four screws<\/p>\n Movement<\/p>\n Sellita SW288-1 M a (Elabor\u00e9): manual winding, 28,800vph (4Hz) frequency, 45-hour power reserve, 18 jewels, perlage, snailing, engraved Farer “A” pattern<\/p>\n Water Resistance<\/p>\n 50 meters (5 atm)<\/p>\n Strap<\/p>\n Choice of black, brown, or gray suede, black or tan St. Venere leather, or black or lion-tan Granolo leather (20mm width) with gold-PVD-coated pin buckle<\/p>\n Functions<\/p>\n Time (hours, minutes, seconds), date, moonphase indicator<\/p>\n Price<\/p>\n \u20ac2,225 \/ US$2,175 \/ \u00a31,895<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you remember the original Stratton, you\u2019ll know it quickly became one of Farer\u2019s best-selling moonphase watches.
