Farer has unveiled the latest addition to its core collection — the Resolute III, part of the new Three Hand Series III lineup. Known for its vibrant design language and British-Swiss fusion, Farer continues to refine its classic field-style aesthetic with improved specs, upgraded movement, and a touch of colour that keeps things unmistakably “Farer.”

A New Chapter in Farer’s Three Hand Story

The Three Hand Series has long been Farer’s entry point into its mechanical range — simple, legible, and versatile everyday watches that focus on proportion and wearability.

The latest collection introduces enhanced durability, upgraded movements, and updated dial treatments while keeping the same easy-to-wear 39 mm case profile. The new series includes the Resolute III alongside the Hopewell III, Exmoor III, and Discovery III, each taking a slightly different design approach to the same underlying platform.

For the Resolute III specifically, Farer has opted for a crisp, modern look that sits neatly between classic field and dress-casual styling — the kind of all-rounder that defines the brand’s charm.

What’s New on the Resolute III

At first glance, the Resolute III appears familiar to anyone who has followed the previous models. The 39 mm stainless-steel case remains compact and well-balanced, measuring 11.8 mm thick with a lug-to-lug of around 45 mm — proportions that make it wearable on nearly any wrist. The brushed surfaces are paired with polished chamfers for a refined finish that still feels robust enough for daily wear.

Farer has also increased the water resistance to 100 metres, thanks to a new screw-down crown — a welcome update that broadens its practicality.

The dial is where the new model stands apart. It features a polished white lacquer finish, giving off a subtle enamel-like sheen under the light. The high-contrast Arabic numerals are printed in deep blue, matched by a pop of colour on the seconds hand — a Farer signature touch that livens up the otherwise restrained layout. Lume application is crisp and evenly applied, ensuring solid legibility after dark.

All of this sits beneath a box-domed sapphire crystal, adding a gentle distortion at the dial’s edge that gives it vintage charm without compromising clarity.

Inside: A Swiss Engine With Modern Power

Powering the Resolute III is the La Joux-Perret G101, a Swiss automatic movement that represents a noticeable step up from the previous Sellita calibres used by Farer. The G101 brings a 68-hour power reserve, hacking and hand-winding, and smooth 28,800 vph operation.

While Farer doesn’t use an open caseback for this model, the movement upgrade signals a move toward higher horological credibility within the microbrand world. It also helps justify the price increase compared to earlier generations — and positions Farer closer to mid-tier Swiss brands while maintaining independent character.

Design and Wearability

On the wrist, the Resolute III maintains Farer’s usual balance of playfulness and refinement. The slim case hugs the wrist comfortably, while the white lacquer dial keeps it versatile enough for both casual and slightly dressier occasions. The pops of colour — particularly the contrasting seconds hand — inject a sense of individuality that has long defined Farer’s design philosophy.

It comes fitted on a quick-release leather strap, with multiple colour options available from Farer’s site. It’s also available on a milanese bracelet or a rubber strap available in a few colour options. The lug width of 20 mm means the strap can easily be swapped.

Final Thoughts

The Farer Resolute III continues the brand’s steady climb toward higher-end specifications without losing its identity. It’s still unmistakably a Farer — colourful, well-proportioned, and distinctively British in design — but now paired with Swiss mechanical performance that gives enthusiasts more reason to take notice.

At £1,025, the Resolute III isn’t exactly entry-level anymore, but given its build quality, upgraded movement, and design execution, it feels fairly positioned in today’s competitive independent-brand landscape.
