The Dial

This new Essence 39 showcases a stunning Space Blue meteorite dial that will stop every eye in its tracks. Lending the watch incredible depth and a timeless dimension, it takes a round shape and is crafted entirely from meteorite. With no brass base, its feet are electro-welded directly into the stone, securing it straight to the movement. The beautiful equilateral triangles of this iron meteorite that form the Widmanstätten pattern are brought to life by a sublime blue hue achieved through a galvanic bath - making every dial truly one of a kind, so every Space Blue owner holds a genuinely unique piece. Beyond its elegant aesthetics, the dial offers a clean, fluid analog display enriched by a date complication shown through a beveled window at 6 o'clock - one of the hallmark details of Formex watches, born from the brand's ingenious expertise. Hours and minutes are indicated by two polished baton hands in gray, accompanied by a slim seconds hand. The bezel is graduated with white dashes forming a minute track, while the inner ring marked "Swiss Made" houses twelve beveled baton indices in gray. These hour markers and the hands are coated with white Super-LumiNova BGW9, ensuring impeccable legibility in low-light conditions. The 6 o'clock index is cut away to accommodate the date window, while the 12 o'clock index features a double baton for a bold, distinctive look. Finally, the brand signs the dial with its name and logo below 12 o'clock, with the collection name "Essence" and the "Chronometer" designation opposite.

The Movement

This model is powered by the SW200-1 chronometer caliber, ensuring smooth, reliable timekeeping throughout the day. This automatic movement, manufactured by the renowned Sellita manufacture, features 26 jewels and a glucydur balance wheel for exceptional robustness and resistance to magnetic fields. It beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, or 4 Hz, and delivers a 41-hour power reserve. Its skeleton rotor is custom-made with thermally blued screws for a distinctive finish. Holding a COSC certification, this "Swiss Made" movement delivers exceptional precision and unmatched performance in all conditions - giving you a reliable reading of hours, minutes, seconds, and date at all times.

The Strap

The bracelet chosen for this limited edition makes the watch a timeless, versatile, and comfortable piece that pairs beautifully with any outfit and will grace your wrist for years to come. It is crafted from stainless steel and features three rows of links with clean, refined lines that follow the curves of your wrist with great flexibility for comfortable everyday wear. Its brushed finish gives it a dynamic look, while small polished accents add a touch of shine.

Easily interchangeable thanks to Formex's patented quick-release system, this strap is the elegant, modern addition that complements every outfit. It features a unique micro-extension system and an innovative deployant clasp for easy handling while keeping the watch securely on your wrist. Crafted from an exclusive carbon fiber composite, the clasp incorporates Formex's patented 7 mm gradual micro-adjustment system, ensuring a more comfortable feel, a more secure fit, and effortless on-wrist adjustment. Note that the lug width of this strap measures 20 mm.

Water Resistance

With water resistance to 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking parlance - this proud timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie gala and in the water. You can wear your wrist companion in the shower, the bath, or while swimming (even vigorous laps). One important note: our expert team advises that this model is not designed for scuba diving, free diving, or use with high-pressure water cleaners. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only - and never manipulate the pushers or crown while submerged.
