Watch Review: Farer Aqua Compressor Hecla - A Diver With a True Compressor Case

Today, we're going hands-on with Farer "Hecla" - one of three divers produced by Farer for their Aqua Compressor collection. What makes this diver really unique (aside from the ground-up design) is that Farer brought back the compressor case, re-engineering the design for 2017. Check out the video for the full review.

I have 4 of their watches presently and they are all works of art. Good color correction on the video, the colors you see are what you get. Well worth the money.

I`m really impressed with the Farer brand. Some people say they are too expensive. But, compared to what? Yes, the ETA movements are basic and "cheap" in the standard quality, but Farer uses the Elabore versions, that are more expensive and accurate. The ETA movements are really good, and it will also be possible to repair, if necessary. You also have to consider the unique and sophisticated designs, and the quality of execution. I`m really impressed with this Aqua compressor. It is so different and elegant. A really interesting diver, that could almost go as a dress watch. In conclusion: I guess I`m really impressed:-)

This is my first look at this really cool brand. I am impressed with this watch, but I actually like all of their offerings. I will be purchasing one of these and very nice review. I will also be signing up with your channel...

The new Made In USA watch straps are definitely on my future 'must buy' list! Love the site, W&W, keep it up!!

[@wornandwound]

Thanks, Taylor. have a great weekend!

[@shamargayle1745]

love the review on the wrist.

[@Dwong1404]

I am satisfied with my Leven. Very nice diver watch with +3s a day.

[@MrLoughneagh]

Love your reviews but could you please start showing the lume capabilities of each watch you review? Thanks

[@wornandwound]

Thanks! We make an effort to put lume shots in most of our video reviews when applicable. The lume shot for this watch can be found at kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJfFm2atYqqbhM0m40s

Very attractive watch. I was considering Hamilton Pan Europ but the low water resistance number put me off. I am seriously considering Farer Hecla as a replacement.

[@MaximusPanin]

Thanks!

[@maximelefebvre3438]

@worn and wound: what kind of pilot watch is that at the opening of your video with the beige strap please?

[@AtilioEscobar]

is the green/yellow second hand 'triangle' lum'd?!?

[@ajatkotwal]

yes

[@tim2468]

It's an attractive watch.

[@mariocueva8700]

Great review. Roventa who are the actual manufacturers of Farer watches is to be commended for their attention to detail and innovative manufacturing techniques. Farer on the other hand is nothing more than a sales and marketing company.

[@adrianmcnally6006]

Oh wow, wish they did it in 38 / 39mm... lug to lug is great though

[@mightbesherwood1313]

Odd that a compressor case would have screw down crowns. Belt and suspenders.

[@TraptbyBenjamin]

A screw down crown has other functions besides water resistance (I don't know if that function adds water resistance to this specific watch). For example: preventing accidental snagging and pulling out of the crowns or getting knocked out of the case

[@patrickkelly5590]

Yes it is. On the other hand, imagine the outcry if the watch didn't have them. There are just some things customers expect, regardless of need.

[@adbraham]

nice watch, but for me at least, it's a shame they went for a cushion style case

[@Solaar_Punk]

Agreed. They're certainly not afraid to be different.

[@fkurcik]

Nice looking piece with some good hardware in it. The price seems to be a bit too high.

[@hmalamgir]

Expensive

[@ABCTEST213]

nice looking, but cost performance is too low

[@nikouai]

kenngykful I thought the opposite
