The world of horology is filled with timepieces that tell a story, and the FARER Meredith GMT Limited Edition is no exception. This watch is not just a timepiece, but a tribute to the legendary cyclist Leonard Meredith, a gold medalist at the 1908 Olympics in London. With a professional career spanning 22 years, Meredith held seven world titles, embodying the spirit of endurance and precision that FARER aims to capture in their watches.
A Dial that Glows
The Meredith GMT stands out with its unique Lumicast markers, a feature that FARER has been refining since 2019. These three-dimensional markers are a blend of Super-LumiNova and ceramic, providing a backlit effect where the luminescence is emitted from the sides of the markers.
The markers are over-printed with navy blue, reaching to the very edge, and are mounted onto a brushed copper ring. The center of the dial also features a copper finish but with a gravel texture, adding to the watch’s distinctive look.
Timekeeping Across Time Zones
The Meredith GMT is not just about aesthetics; it’s about functionality too. The watch features a lumed 24-hour GMT scale, allowing the wearer to keep track of two time zones simultaneously. This makes the Meredith GMT an ideal companion for those who frequently travel or work across different time zones.

A Case that Speaks Volumes
The stainless steel case of the Meredith GMT measures a comfortable 39.5mm across and is just 10.8mm thick. The polished bezel and case sides, along with brushed lug tops, give the watch a versatile smart-casual aesthetic. The winding crown is inset with FARER’s signature bronze cap embossed with the Farer ‘A’, adding a touch of elegance to the design.
Powering the Meredith GMT
Under the hood, the Meredith GMT is powered by the Sellita SW330-2 automatic movement. This dependable calibre beats at a smooth rate of 28,800 bph (4Hz), contains 25 jewels, and has a solid power reserve of 56 hours. This is the ‘Top Grade’ version of the SW330, so it’s been adjusted for accuracy in 5 positions. The beautifully decorated movement can be seen ticking away through the sapphire case back.
