UK watchmakers, FARER, have long been on our radar here at The Coolector and their recent foray into moonphase watches has been wonderfully well-received around these here parts and this stunning Halley Moonphase Watch is one of the principle reasons why. It is a hand-wound moonphase watch with a striking midnight blue gloss dial that immediately catches the eye and it comes with a choice of strap.

Priced at £1595, the FARER Halley Moonphase Watch clearly represents an investment but it is definitely one of the most impressive timepieces that you’ll likely find in this price bracket. The Halley has the hand-painted yellow moon of the Halley shining brightly against a glossy midnight blue dial which is a glorious contrast that really makes this luxury timepiece stand out from the crowd.

In nature, a yellow moon occurs when the moon is viewed close to the horizon. This is due to the fact that the blue light has been scattered through the Earth’s atmosphere, leaving only the warmer yellow and red tones which are made even more noticeable by dust particles in the air. Alongside this eye-catching complication, sits bright white numerals composed of Grade OL X1 Super-LumiNova that ensures you’ll be able to read the Halley even in low light conditions.

These fantastic aesthetic features are paired with a flawlessly polished lance handset and a second hand with the Farer “A” in burnt orange that adds a real visual pop to proceedings. Powered by a Swiss-made, mechanical movement, the FARER Halley Moonphase Watch is an extremely reliable and top-performing timepiece and it’s not difficult to see why this offering is flying off FARER’s digital shelves.

The FARER Halley Watch in Midnight Blue is a stunning example of fine watchmaking, combining sophisticated design with high-quality materials. The watch features a gloss dial in a rich midnight blue, adorned with applied numerals and markers crafted from Grade OL X1 Super-LumiNova, ensuring visibility even in low light conditions. A standout feature is the hand-painted blue moonphase disc, highlighted by a yellow moon, also in Grade OL X1 Super-LumiNova, adding a touch of elegance and functionality.

Water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM), the FARER Halley is powered by the Swiss Made Sellita SW288-1 Ma Elaboré Grade movement. This movement features blue screws and a bespoke Farer embossed patterned bridge, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship behind this exquisite timepiece. Overall, the FARER Halley Watch in Midnight Blue is a perfect blend of style, precision, and durability.
