Farer’s 2024 Field Watch update comprised three automatic models: the sand-dial Pembroke II, navy-dial Lomond II and green-dial Exmoor II. The launch-era proposition paired a reported 38 mm steel case, pointer date, 150 m water resistance and two supplied straps. These are historical 2024 specifications and prices, not confirmation that the original watches are currently for sale: Farer’s collection page now says the new Field collection launches in late 2026.
What changed in Farer’s 2024 Field Watch collection?
The Pembroke II, Lomond II and Exmoor II updated Farer’s original 2021 field-watch trio. Their shared design brief combined a compact stainless-steel automatic watch with a pointer-date display, textured, color-led dials and a choice of bracelet or fabric strap. Monochrome Watches described the release as “A trio of updated field watches continues the UK brand’s laudable balance of robustness and contemporary styling.”
The differences among the three are chiefly visual. The reported case, movement, water resistance and supplied strap package are common to the models.
How do the Pembroke II, Lomond II and Exmoor II differ?
| Model | Dial and markers | Visual character |
|---|---|---|
| Pembroke II | Sand-colored dial with navy-outlined Arabic numerals and batons | A light, high-contrast option with dark outlines against the dial |
| Lomond II | Textured navy dial with yellow numerals and markers | A dark dial with bright yellow indications |
| Exmoor II | Textured green dial with white Arabic numerals and outer yellow dots | White numerals and yellow accents divide the display’s contrast across two colors |
All three have luminous displays and a pointer-date hand. The most useful choice is therefore the dial treatment you find easiest to read and most appealing, rather than a different movement or case specification.

What are the reported case and movement specifications?
Monochrome Watches’ October 2024 launch report gives the three watches a brushed stainless-steel case measuring 38 mm across, 11.7 mm thick and 45 mm from lug to lug. It also reports a sapphire crystal with three anti-reflective coatings, a screw-down crown with a bronze insert and 150 m water resistance. These dimensions are the dated review’s specifications for the 2024 models; they should not be conflated with generic case copy on Farer’s current page, which gives inconsistent 38 mm and 39 mm descriptions.
The launch report names the automatic Sellita SW221-1, with 26 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and a stated power reserve of up to 41 hours. Its listed functions are central hours, minutes, hacking seconds and pointer date. These are published specifications, not results of independent testing.

What straps came with the watches?
The reported package included a 20 mm three-link bracelet and a fabric sailcloth strap with rubber lining and leather reinforcement. The bracelet has quick-release levers and an on-the-fly adjustment system. Farer says its bracelet uses a Nodus NEM module that provides up to 4.2 mm of adjustment; the brand also says both straps use quick-release spring bars.
The quick-release arrangement allows a wearer to change between the included options without a special tool. No third-party strap compatibility or fit has been established here.

Farer’s current collection page states, “The New Field Collection Launches Late 2026”. That is the page’s stated plan for a new collection; it does not establish whether any Pembroke II, Lomond II or Exmoor II from 2024 remain in stock, nor does it give a current selling price. The 2024 launch report said initial production was 125 watches per model, a figure that describes the initial production stated at launch—not lifetime production or present availability.
