Farasute, it is the first time for many people to hear this watch, it has a good name that soulds like a watch brand coming from Germany. Well, I am very sure Farasute makes watches in China, and their headquarter is located in Shenzhen, I did not find two or three classic timepieces they have made that have been popular in watch industry or in homage watch field, but the one I am going to introduce today is a very beautiful model from Farasute, it has a top quality, absolutely its price is not cheap.
I found this watch on Taobao, which is a great shopping app from alibaba group, you can find everything on this platform. I went into the shopping page of Farasute and this watch immediately attracted my attention for its unique movement design, where you can see it through the crystal back. Farasute has four different models to choose for this watch, each is different from the other by dial color combination, the black and white dial color look too formal, I have several timepieces with such type of color combination, so I chose the green one, which looks a little saucy, after I paid, I was told by the seller that the watch needs to be customized first and the process will take about twenty days, I was not worried but more excited, what a timepiece will be created by this project?
Finally I received the watch after waiting for almost twenty five days, everything looks perfect, the watch, box and accessories. I love the wooden box with brown leather inside, among so many Chinese watches I have seen, the Farasute box looks the most high-end. And when I learned that they only produce two hundred pieces of this watch within one year, I know I am very lucky.
The watch has a case that is measured to be 39mm in diameter and about 12mm in thickness. The four lugs have a polished finish and are naturally curved to guarantee a better wearing comfort on your hand. The bezel is green and has a dome sapphire crystal cap. The rim of the case back has polished engravings on a rough sanded background, the center of the back is a crystal window to show an unique movement.
Like the bezel, the dial also has a green color. Every detail on the dial is perfectly completed, hour markers and the brand logo are tridimensional, each hour marker is cut in the same shape and size without metal burr on the edge, please get a closer look at the dial, they look very clean. The three small dials have a sunken design and hve delicate CD patterns decoration, each small dial has their own function, the small second hand is running on the subdial at 6 o’clock, the other two subdials are minute-chronograph counter and hour-chronograph counter. The watch has a working chronograph, you can unscrew the buttons and operate it.
Through the crystal back, we can see the movement, which has an unique auto rotor in golden tone, the entire rotor is made in the shape of the Farasute logo, that’s very impressive. By the way, the movement is 4801 chronograph from Dandong movement factory, it is a very stable movement and usually has no issues. And the stability of this movement has been tested on many watches including some super clones that have been very hot in Chinese market, both its stability and accuracy are trusted.
