The Farer Stanhope III is a beautifully crafted Swiss mechanical watch that combines vintage-inspired British design with contemporary finishing, intricate dial textures, and the traditional appeal of a hand-wound movement.
This 2025 example is presented in mint pre-owned condition, featuring a distinctive off-white piqué-textured dial, vibrant blue and red accents, and an elegantly sculpted 38.5mm stainless steel cushion case.
As the third generation of Farer’s celebrated Stanhope collection, the Stanhope III builds upon the design that made its predecessors so recognizable. Its refined cushion-shaped case, fully brushed bezel, and layered dial construction create a sophisticated appearance that blends classic watchmaking aesthetics with Farer’s signature use of color.
A Distinctive Multi-Layered Dial
The centerpiece of the Stanhope III is its beautifully executed off-white piqué-textured dial, which features a raised geometric pattern that creates remarkable depth and visual interest.
Applied polished steel Arabic numerals at 12, 3, and 9 o’clock are complemented by polished hour batons, with subtle midnight-blue and steel-blue accents providing a distinctive contrast.
A recessed minute track surrounds the main dial, featuring carefully coordinated blue and red printing. Raised wedges with luminous blue accents mark five-minute intervals, enhancing readability while contributing to the watch’s intricate architectural appearance.
At 6 o’clock, a recessed small-seconds subdial features a striking red seconds hand and blue markings, creating an attractive focal point.
The rounded baton hour and minute hands are finished in glossy midnight blue and filled with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring excellent readability while maintaining the watch’s refined aesthetic.
Refined Cushion-Case Construction
The Stanhope III is housed in a beautifully proportioned 38.5mm 316L marine-grade stainless steel case, measuring 43.8mm lug-to-lug and just 10.5mm thick.
Its distinctive three-piece cushion-case construction features polished sides and sculpted lugs, complemented by a fully brushed stainless steel bezel that gives the third-generation Stanhope a slightly sportier appearance than its predecessor.
The compact dimensions and carefully designed case architecture make the watch exceptionally comfortable while providing a distinctive wrist presence.
Protecting the dial is a curved sapphire crystal with multilayer anti-reflective coating, while a sapphire exhibition caseback provides a beautiful view of the decorated mechanical movement.
A signature Farer crown, featuring a solid bronze cap embossed with the Farer arrow logo, adds another recognizable detail.
Traditional Swiss Hand-Wound Movement
Powering the Stanhope III is the Swiss Sellita SW216-1 Elaboré Grade manual-winding movement, a beautifully finished mechanical caliber featuring 24 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and approximately 45 hours of power reserve.
Unlike automatic watches, the Stanhope III is wound manually using the crown, offering a traditional and engaging connection to mechanical watchmaking.
The movement features a small-seconds complication at 6 o’clock, hacking seconds for precise time setting, and decorative finishing that can be admired through the sapphire exhibition caseback.
Its customized bridge decoration, blued screws, and refined mechanical architecture reflect Farer’s attention to detail.
