Founded in 1999, the iconic watchmaking brand Formex brings ultra-robust, high-performance, and elegantly crafted timepieces to the forefront - built for everyday wear that stands the test of time. Across each of its stunning collections, the brand demonstrates deep expertise and a unique mastery it continuously refines, delivering the very pinnacle of Swiss craftsmanship and excellence. Every timepiece is assembled with meticulous care and obsessive attention to detail, showcasing cutting-edge technologies that satisfy even the most demanding connoisseurs. From its Reef collection, Formex presents this captivating Radiant Bronze COSC Watch - one you'll never tire of wearing. Slimmer and more compact in design while retaining the bold, versatile spirit and proven technical DNA that make Reef models so beloved, this watch is equally at home in the city or on your next extreme adventure, becoming your go-to reliable and stylish daily companion. It pairs effortlessly with any outfit and rises to every occasion. The watch features a round case with a distinctive, finely refined silhouette that sits beautifully on the wrist, ensuring comfort and longevity. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it delivers a striking visual symmetry, finished with a combination of polishing and brushing for a premium look on the wrist. In terms of dimensions, the diameter measures 39.50 mm with a lug-to-lug length of 45.50 mm, a thickness of 11 mm, and a weight of 75 g - proportions perfectly suited to men's wrists. A silver-toned crown with a knurled design sits at 3 o'clock on the right side of the case. It is screwed down and protected, allowing effortless and secure adjustment of the hours, minutes, and date. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal sits over the dial, providing outstanding resistance to shocks and scratches while ensuring clear legibility from any angle. This dive watch features a unidirectional bezel that proves useful in every situation. Edged with knurled borders, it allows elapsed time to be tracked via the minute graduation markings on its surface, including a SuperLuminova BGW9 marker at the 12 o'clock position. Finally, this model is water-resistant to 300 meters, thanks to its screw-down case back, which is stamped and engraved.

The Dial

This stunning round dial is the centerpiece of this breathtaking watch. Balancing versatility with refinement, it shifts appearance depending on the viewing angle, casting mesmerizing light reflections that draw every eye to your wrist. Crafted from bronze with a vertical brushed finish that brings out its beautiful hue, the dial's base is sealed with a special lacquer that limits bronze oxidation and preserves the dial's beauty over time. Beyond its elegant appearance on your wrist, the dial delivers crisp, fluid timekeeping through its harmoniously arranged indicators. At the center, two hands and a slim gray lollipop seconds hand sweep smoothly to display hours, minutes, and seconds - even in low-light conditions. This is made possible by their SuperLuminova BGW9 coating in white, also applied to the hour markers, which emits a blue glow once the watch is plunged into darkness for optimal nighttime legibility. A beveled date window sits at 6 o'clock, displaying the date in black Arabic numerals against an orange background. The dial's perimeter is graduated with black markers forming a minute track railroad, separated every 5 minutes by three-dimensional triangular hour indices that are hand-applied as hour markers. Near 6 o'clock, the brand applies the "Swiss Made" label, with the collection name "Reef" just above it, along with the water resistance rating and the "Chronometer" designation. Just below 12 o'clock, the brand signs the dial with its name and logo - a true mark of authenticity.

The Movement

Formex selected the Sellita SW300-1 caliber to power this watch. Swiss-made and fitted with 25 jewels and premium-grade components, this automatic movement is renowned for its exceptional performance and reliability in all conditions - earning it a COSC certification. It drives the watch's hands and date display with remarkable fluidity throughout the day. Fitted with a Glucydur balance wheel - a hard, stable, and non-corrosive material - it delivers optimal resistance to magnetic fields. The movement features a custom skeleton rotor with thermally blued screws. It beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, or 4 Hz, and offers a 56-hour power reserve. Hours, minutes, seconds, and date are displayed with precision and reliability at all times.

The Strap

This elegant watch comes with a choice of three straps, each blending versatility, comfort, and modern style to suit every taste. All straps feature a 22 mm lug width and are easily interchangeable thanks to their Quick Release function.

The first option is a link bracelet - ideal for everyday, long-lasting wear. Featuring three rows of links, it wraps your wrist with understated elegance. Crafted from stainless steel with a vertical brushed finish accented by polished touches, it radiates effortless charm. Easy to pair with any look, this bracelet delivers the modern, sporty edge that elevates every outfit. It comes equipped with a push-button deployant clasp for a comfortable and secure fit, along with a patented micro-adjustment system for a perfectly tailored fit.

The second strap option is crafted from rubber and finished in a rich black color, adding a touch of modern understated elegance to the watch. Robust yet supremely comfortable, it hugs your wrist with a gentle flexibility, ensuring a pleasant wear for any occasion. This strap pairs effortlessly with any look, bringing an urban, elegant edge and an exquisitely sporty vibe to every outfit. Fasten it easily and securely using the deployant clasp - made from carbon fiber composite and equipped with a patented micro-adjustment system.

The third and final strap option is a NATO-style strap - your faithful companion for nautical adventures. Crafted from nylon with a woven texture highlighted by a deep black color, it exudes a timeless charm. Where classic design meets clean style, this strap elevates every outfit with just the right touch of modernity, delivering a look that's both sporty and refined. Wear it daily and enjoy its flexibility for all-day comfort. The stainless steel pin buckle included with this strap ensures a secure and effortless fastening for any occasion.

Water Resistance

With water resistance to 300 meters - or 30 ATM in watchmaking terms - even Captain Nemo would envy this timepiece engineered for the marine environment. Baths, showers, swimming, or diving (free or scuba) are no match for this watch: it emerges unscathed and gleaming every time. With that in mind, Ocarat's team of watch experts asks just two things of you:

• Do not operate the pushers or the crown while submerged.
• Snap the best photo of an exotic deep-sea fish you can find - with the watch in the shot if possible. It would look absolutely stunning in our offices and on our Instagram page!
