A couple days ago Farer updated their Field collection, which was previously my least favorite collection. The big update is the reworked case, which has a significantly shrunk down bezel, reworked dials and features a new bracelet with the Nodex microadjust system in the clasp. Something I noticed with this rework is how similar the case is to the Aquamatic collection. It’s still a distinct watch in it’s own right, but I’m beginning to wonder if the Aquamatic could get a reworked design in the next few years. Yes it’s already a great watch but the included bracelet has a butterfly clasp, which is not ideal for a dive watch. The case is great but has been awhile and could get a nice redesign. Farer has also teased a 35/36 millimeter cushion case watch and recently released a redesigned GMT collection with a new more water-resistant case. I don’t think the Aquamatic needs a big redesign but I wouldn’t mind one especially with how much their design language has improved since the dawn of the original collection.
