Essence 39mm Mother of Sky Watch

The Watch

Formex has built a reputation for crafting reliable, high-performance watches that elevate your everyday style. An American brand with a distinctly modern and sophisticated aesthetic, its collections are designed to accompany you on any occasion - from classic to refined, each timepiece masterfully combines technical excellence with genuine beauty. The brand is proud to introduce the Essence 39mm Mother of Sky watch, designed for men. It features a round case fitted with an extension system that absorbs shocks while delivering wrist comfort. The case is entirely crafted in brushed-polished stainless steel, giving it a bold, luminous presence. With a silver tone, it measures 39 mm in diameter, 45 mm in length, and 10 mm in thickness. It is adorned with 4 corner screws, and the dial is protected by a scratch- and shock-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating for effortless readability. A gray, notched crown at 3 o'clock controls all dial functions. The case weighs 65 grams and features a screw-down caseback guaranteeing 10 ATM water resistance, with a sapphire crystal exhibition window revealing the movement's rotor in action.

The Dial

Captivating and irresistible, this dial offers an extraordinary reading experience. Under the light, it shimmers and iridescens with colorful markers creating a perfect contrast. It is elevated by a beautiful mother-of-pearl finish cut from a single piece of the inner layer of a Pinctada maxima shell. It features a sky blue tone achieved by applying a thin lacquer coat to the back, along with horizontal stripe striations that evoke a sense of celestial beauty. At its center, three rose-toned hands with a brushed finish sweep precisely through time. The delicate seconds hand marks the seconds while the minute and hour hands indicate their respective functions. These two hands, along with the rose baton indexes, feature a Super-LumiNova BGW9 treatment for optimal legibility in low-light conditions. They sweep past the hour markers and the minute track running along the sky blue rehaut. Near 6 o'clock, a date window matching the indexes is followed by the mentions "Swiss Made" and "Essence Chronometer" reading from bottom to top. Finally, the brand places its logo and name beneath the double index at 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

At the heart of this case beats a chronometer-grade automatic movement. COSC-certified, it is specifically the Sellita SW200-1 caliber. This Swiss mechanism drives the hands and date function with precision and offers vibration resistance thanks to its 26 jewels. It is also fully decorated and wound by a skeletonized rotor developed and custom-made by Formex. The caliber beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph and delivers a solid power reserve of 41 hours.

The Bracelet

This watch comes with 5 straps available via the dropdown menu. All feature a 20 mm lug width and a carbon fiber composite deployant clasp for a secure fit around the wrist. Strap changes are effortless thanks to the quick-release system.

This first strap is crafted in stainless steel. It features three rows of brushed and polished links and sits effortlessly on the wrist. Sturdy yet lightweight, it delivers an exceptionally comfortable fit. Its silver tone pairs with any accessory of your choice, adding a fabulous finishing touch. It is sent with a micro-extension for easy sizing to your wrist.

The second strap is crafted in rubber. Flexible and durable, it is perfectly suited for all physical activities. Exceptionally comfortable to wear, it pairs naturally with any outfit thanks to its sleek black tone.

The three remaining straps are crafted in nappa calfskin leather. Elegant and comfortable, they bring a refined, sophisticated touch to any look and any occasion. Each is stitched with tone-on-tone stitching and comes in blue, brown, and black. They are the perfect finishing touch to complete your style.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 100 meters, or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms, this bold timepiece is equally at home at a gala and in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming - even during an energetic workout in the pool. One important note from our watchmaking experts: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or use with high-pressure washers. Keep it to showering, bathing, and swimming - and always avoid operating the crown while in the water.
