The Quirky And Colourful Farer Pendine 2

Just One More Watch

First Farer! And first ETA Powerdrive whateveritis. Well, the first one that has made it this far anyway. Very interesting and goes some way towards justifying the higher price of this unit, even though it is a quartz. I like the looks, I like the colours, the speck of dirt, not so much. Thanks again to Ashley for loaning me YET ANOTHER watch. Cheers, Jody

TRIPLE PUSHER CASE
Classic Farer 39.5mm, marine-grade 316L steel case, just 11mm in depth and with a 20mm lug. Developed to hold three chronograph button pushers set at positions 2, 4 and 10 for split-second timing with an updated, stainless steel fluted crown with inset bronze cap and embossed Farer 'A'. The sapphire box case crystal is held by a highly polished rim onto a brushed case, finished with a polished back featuring a Farer engraved turbine design and individually numbered.

POWERDRIVE TECHNOLOGY​

PowerDrive controls the running of the chronograph motors, and can increase the hand movement speed to more than 200 Hz (i.e. 200 hand jumps per second in either direction of rotation). This technology improves the hand movement control, making for a highly dynamic display. The movement is quick to use and highly reactive - vital for split-second timing.

SPLIT-SECOND TIMING​

The split-second complication records and displays an intermediate time, allowing two time intervals to be compared. The main chronograph second hand hides another hand revealed on split-timing. When the chronograph is started, the two hands start moving together one above the other, until a press of the split-second pusher separates them. The first hand stops while the other carries on turning. It is then possible to read the intermediate time while the other chronograph hand continues its progress.

FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH​

The flyback complication allows you to use the reset function without the need to first stop the chronograph. When the flyback button is pressed, the second hand flies back to zero and instantly starts counting again. In regular chronographs you need to stop, reset, and restart the chronograph if you want to quickly time an event after you have started the chronograph. Associated with pilots and motor racing where speed and response is of the essence.





:hmm:This guy is hung up on warranties in these reviews. Five year warranty is a joke for a quartz trinket costing around $600.00. I own many ETA 251 trinkets and they are reliable, but I've paid a fraction of the price.
 
i like FARER and have thus only admired from afar

unless it was a much lower price point i would only buy a mechanical
