Where design meets performance and functionality, each model stands out for its versatility and exceptional craftsmanship - built to the industry's highest standards. Today, Formex continues to captivate technical watch enthusiasts with ultra-robust, precision-engineered creations that push boundaries and conquer the most extreme conditions. This stunning Leggera Forty One Forged Carbon timepiece 0331.4.6399 is the latest addition to the iconic Essence Leggera collection. A bold blend of daring elegance, refined subtlety, and sharp technical prowess, it's a watch made for everyday wear - one that delivers an unmatched horological experience. Your go-to companion, it makes a statement with quiet confidence, highlighting your style, individuality, and strong character. Pair it with casual outfits or wear it to an upscale evening event - it works for every occasion and elevates any look. This all-black watch features a round case with a smooth-to-the-touch finish. Developed entirely in-house, it is built with Formex's patented innovative suspension system, making it both comfortable and shock-resistant in any situation. Designed to keep up with your every moment, it sits gently on your wrist for all-day comfortable wear. It weighs 40 g and measures 41 mm in diameter, 11 mm in thickness, and 46.50 mm in length - ideal proportions tailored for men's wrists. Crafted in exclusive carbon fiber composite and finished in a deep, intense black, it exudes depth and sophistication. The black bezel with a brushed finish is made from zirconium oxide ceramic and is scratch-resistant, ensuring longer-lasting wear. Held in place by four visible screws, it surrounds an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that shields the dial from everyday shocks and unsightly damage. True to watchmaking tradition, a black zirconium oxide scratch-resistant ceramic crown sits at 3 o'clock, featuring a knurled design for easy grip. Use it to adjust the time and date at will. On the caseback, you'll find a screw-down case back with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal display window. It gives you a stunning view of the movement's intricate mechanics and beautiful decorations, while maintaining water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

The case houses a stunning round dial packed with refined details that are sure to turn heads. Crafted from extremely fine forged carbon fiber, it features individually machined in-house patterns, making every watch truly one of a kind. Dressed in an all-black finish, the dial showcases polished hour markers for a striking effect and sharp, reliable timekeeping at all times. At the center, two baton hands sweep smoothly to indicate the hours and minutes. They are coated with SuperLumiNova BGW9 Grade A luminescent material, emitting a blue glow in the dark. Also applied to the slim seconds hand and the indices, this luminescent treatment ensures excellent readability in both bright and low-light conditions. The outer ring features a sunray finish for added elegance and houses a minute track marked with white lines. This surrounds twelve hand-applied rounded baton indices to help you quickly identify the hours. 12 o'clock is marked with a double baton, while the 6 o'clock index is cut away to reveal a date window. It displays white Arabic numerals on a black background and features a beveled edge - one of this timepiece's signature details. Finally, Formex places its name and logo beneath 12 o'clock as its signature, and at 6 o'clock displays the "Swiss Made" label along with the movement type just above, alongside the "Chronometer" designation.

The Movement

Powering this exceptional timepiece is an automatic movement that drives the hands and date window with seamless precision. With a power reserve of 41 hours, it is equipped with the Sellita SW200-1 caliber (chronometer grade). This Swiss mechanism is renowned for its beauty, performance, and flawless reliability. It is COSC-certified, a testament to its exceptional quality. Featuring 26 jewels, it beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and is fitted with a glucydur balance wheel for outstanding resistance to magnetic fields. Its skeleton rotor is custom-made and fitted with thermally blued screws. This movement delivers precise and reliable time, minute, second, and date display in any condition.

The Strap

This beautiful watch comes with your choice of two straps below. Whichever you choose, you can count on its refined design, durability, and elegance to take you on every adventure in style. Easy to swap, both feature a lug width of 22 mm and are fitted with curved spring bars.

The first strap is made by WatchGecko. A NATO-style strap, it delivers comfortable, everyday wear that's ready for any adventure. This timeless, sporty strap is crafted from woven nylon in a versatile black that pairs with any outfit - the go-to choice for divers and water sports enthusiasts alike. Its black stainless steel pin buckle keeps it securely in place throughout the day.

As a second option, the brand offers a Rubber strap in matching black. Made from rubber, it adds a chic yet sporty finishing touch to your everyday look. Combining comfort, durability, and a sleek profile, it wraps your wrist with effortless elegance and keeps up with everything from city life to water sports. It features a carbon fiber composite folding clasp with a patented 7 mm incremental micro-adjustment system for a secure, customizable fit.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance up to 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. Yes - this watch means business in the water. Whether you're splashing through puddles or diving into the pool, this timepiece handles it all without complaint. Showers, baths, and lap swimming? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want you to know that while this model is water-resistant, it is not designed for diving (professional or recreational) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding use of the crown or push buttons while submerged.
