Lander GMT

Premium $1,300+

The Farer Lander IV GMT is a 39.5mm British-branded, Swiss-made automatic travel watch powered by the Sellita SW330-2 'Top Grade' caller-GMT movement. Its signature iridescent sea-green triple-stepped sunray dial — inspired by 1950s Porsche 356 colour charts — has been the defining feature of the Lander line since its debut in 2017, now in its fourth generation with a redesigned monobloc case and screw-down crown.

On the wrist

The Lander IV sits on the wrist in a way that flatters its size — the 45mm lug-to-lug keeps it honest on anything from a 16cm to 18cm wrist, and the monobloc case construction lends a satisfying density that punches above the price. Polished case flanks against brushed lugs split the personality between smart-casual and working watch, and the bronze-capped screw-down crown is a small, considered flourish that ties everything together.

The dial is the reason most people buy this watch, and it earns the attention. In low indoor light it reads as a moody, almost slate-y teal; step into direct sun and it warms into a vivid emerald — the three concentric stepped registers amplify this chameleon quality, each catching the light at a different angle. The caller-GMT mechanism keeps the face clean: no bulky rotating bezel, just a slim 24-hour scale between the hour track and chapter ring, and a pillar-box red arrow hand pointing at it clearly. Large Arabic numerals give the dial an unambiguous field-watch legibility that will delight fans of vintage explorer aesthetics and mildly puzzle those who expect dress-watch indexes. Anyone charmed by colour and character over conformity will find this one hard to leave alone.

Bottom line

A well-finished mid-tier caller-GMT with a genuinely singular sea-green dial and solid Swiss movement value, best for travellers who want a dressed-up aesthetic over a rotating-bezel tool look — though the 100m limit and caller (not flyer) mechanism set clear practical boundaries.

Who it's for

Buyers with roughly 16–18 cm wrists who want a versatile GMT that reads as a refined travel companion rather than a sport diver, and who value a distinctive, colour-forward British design sensibility without paying Swiss luxury brand prices.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you need a true flyer-GMT (the SW330-2 caller cannot set the minute hand independently), want more than 100 m water resistance, or strongly prefer an integrated steel bracelet — strap options are leather, suede, rubber, and Milanese only.

FAQ

Is the Lander GMT automatic or quartz?

It runs a automatic movement.

What movement does the Lander GMT use?

The Sellita SW330-2 (Sellita).

Does the Lander GMT have a date?

Yes.

How water resistant is the Lander GMT?

It is rated to 100 m.

How big does the Lander GMT wear?

39.5 mm wide with a 45 mm lug-to-lug.

What does 'caller GMT' mean in practice on the Lander IV?

The Sellita SW330-2 lets you advance the local hour hand in one-hour jumps independently, while the 24 h GMT hand continues tracking your reference timezone uninterrupted. You 'call' the next city's hour without stopping the watch — ideal for city-hopping, but unlike a flyer GMT you cannot also nudge the minute hand to correct for half-hour offset timezones.

How does the Lander IV differ from earlier Lander generations?

The fourth generation moved to a monobloc case with a screw-down crown (earlier versions used a push/pull crown), upgraded the movement from the SW330-1 to the SW330-2 'Top Grade' with a longer 56-hour power reserve, and added a colour-matched date wheel that was technically challenging to produce in the sea-green hue.

Is there also a smaller version of the Lander IV GMT?

Yes. Farer offers the Lander IV GMT in 36 mm (41.2 mm lug-to-lug, 11 mm thick, $1,495 USD), running the same Sellita SW330-2 movement in a more compact case aimed at smaller wrists.
