mine just came in the mail (got it used). What a gorgeous watch. Honestly this watch is more impressive in person than my speedy *gasp! I think the speedy cant be represented well in pics. This farer's details and color cant be repped in pics as well although farer does an excellent job doing so. That 3 step dial, that seagreen color, the patina on the crown, the colors of the hands, crystal, movement design, packaging...my gosh everything is impressive on this watch in the visual department. Such a unique watch that is going to look great on my casual outings. I still need to find a strap that works with this color combo. Thinking a lighter tan strap will be the best fit but not sure yet. My blue nato isnt working out too well and im not too keen on the darker stock strap.

So far so good. I use it a lot, but with the NATO strap shown above not their straps. Those are nice, but I don't particularly like leather straps. Highly recommend it. Happy to answer any specific questions you might have.

Just got myself a Lander, cant wait! Sorry, another US guy took it haha.
Time to find a nice nato that will go with this. Hard to match these colors!
How do you like the Lander? Trying to decide on it. Thanks, Ken

loving it! excellent everyday watch and that dial... drool, got me looking at my watch even if i dont care about the time! If omega ever releases a good looking GMT watch i may sell off the farer however. The farer though is a very beautiful and unique watch.

There’s one thing I wish was better and it’s the seconds/minute indicators on the dial. They just don’t make sense. What number should the dot in middle represent? And the lines in between don’t make setting the watch presicesly. That’s about the only caveat I’ve found since getting it.

I’ve been searching for a blue/green dial, for a long time. Once I saw the Lander, I was hooked. It’s a beautiful color that changes in different lighting. The barenia leather strap keeps getting more supple every time I wear it.

Accuracy has been +2 to +4 per day. If you’re on the fence, don’t wait too long. For the price, imo it’s definitely worth it.

Only weakness I’ve noticed, is what watchos mentioned. I have to wait to set the time in 5 min increments.

Looks like the first 250 run batch has sold out. Now taking orders up to 400. I’m very happy to hear that these are finding there way onto people’s wrists.

I found the dial lay out to be quite the opposite. The dots represent the odd numbers of the 24hr scale. And the very small hash marks represent 15 second intervals of each minute.

Sorry. I don’t follow. I get the dots off the 24 hr, but the others don’t add up. I can’t seem to figure out how these items correspond to the minutes/seconds in general. For item 1, there are 14 small boxes in between 12 and 1. For item 2, there are 19 dashes. I get the dots are the hours on the GMT. How do these lines, boxes and dashes align with the numbers? Or what do they mean. It makes it hard to set say, the minute at anything other than every 5.

I hadn’t notice the boxed along the chapter ring until you mentioned it.... not sure what that’s for. I was referring to the hash marks between the hours. I counted 20

Hash marks aside, I would have preferred a fully numbered 24 hour track for the GMT hand.I guess this was considered and rejected during detailed design.
