Hecla Carmine Red Titanium Series II and Aqua Compressor Titanium Bracelet

CLEAR VIEW

The Hecla Carmine Red is the boldest Aqua Compressor yet, with a deep red dial and matching integrated rubber strap. Onto this matte red dial are mounted a mix of batons and Arabic numerals. These are pure white and are made from a blend of ceramic and Super-LumiNova known as Lumicast. Paired with a white handset filled with X1 Super-LumiNova, these provide excellent legibility under any lighting conditions.


Against the edge of the dial sits the internal rotating bezel that is a signature feature of compressor dive watches. Operated by the lower screw-down crown, this unidirectional bezel also has lumed markings. With such excellent contrast, it’s immediately apparent that the Hecla Carmine Red is a dive watch that puts practicality at the forefront of its design.


In charitable partnership with The Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust (HWDT) we are proud to have already raised £53,500, and with the second series of the Titanium Aqua Compressor, we aim to hit our target of £60,000. Exploration and discovery are at the core of Farer and helping to keep HWDT's boat - The Silurian – in service, is close to our hearts. This floating classroom gathers important data via its loyal team of volunteers and reaches 20,000 people every year who are educated on the conservation of sea mammals in Western Scotland.

Features

Compression Innovation - Just like vintage EPSA super compressors, the Aqua Compressor case uses the pressure of the water to compress the gaskets sealing the watch, thus increasing the watch's water resistance the deeper it goes. 

Light & Strong - The case of the Aqua Compressor is crafted from grade 2 titanium and is remarkably light, weighing just 62g. It measures 41mm in diameter, with a 45mm lug-to-lug, and is just 12.5mm thick.

Twin Crowns - The Aqua Compressors feature the twin crowns that are a signature of compressor dive watches. Both crowns screw down and are titanium inset with bronze caps that feature a crosshatch pattern and the Farer logo. The bottom crown operates the bezel and the top sets the time. 

Luminous Quality - The Aqua Compressor features a generous application of Grade X1 Super-LumiNova across the hands, hour markers, and bezel, ensuring it's readable in any light. 

 

Quick-Release - The Aqua Compressor is supplied on a fitted rubber strap that features a chunky titanium buckle and quick-release spring bars for easy strap changes. 

STORY

Named after HMS Hecla, a Royal Navy bomb vessel launched in 1815. Like many other British bomb vessels, she was named after a volcano, in this case, Hekla in Iceland. She originally served at the Bombardment of Algiers, in a bid to end the slavery practices of Omar Agha. In 1819, she was modified to serve as an Arctic exploration ship, making three journeys in search of the icy Northwest Passage and one unsuccessful attempt on the North Pole, before being retired from service in 1827.
