"watch Essence 39mm "Space Gold" Automatic COSC 0339.9.6695.101"

The Watch

Founded in 1999, Formex is an independent family watchmaking company known for its revolutionary engineering and distinctive design philosophy. It crafts timepieces that meet the highest industry quality standards, featuring a patented case suspension system - a brand signature - that makes its watches exceptionally comfortable on the wrist. Every model is instantly recognizable by its bold, robust, and sporty aesthetic.

This Essence "Space Gold" Automatic COSC watch arrives in a tonneau case crafted from 316L stainless steel with a grade 2 titanium coating. Silver-toned, lightweight, and meticulously finished with a vertical brushed surface and hand-polished mirror bevels on the case middle and bezel secured by stainless steel screws. The case incorporates a patented suspension system that integrates four springs between the upper and lower case halves of the watch. At just 10 mm thick, it measures 39 mm in diameter with a lug-to-lug length of 45 mm. Up top, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating ensures excellent dial legibility. On the right side, the crown with its knurled grip handles hour and minute setting, its fully polished finish adding a further touch of elegance. The case back is screw-secured and features a transparent window in scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, offering a view of the automatic movement's fine decorations - thermally blued screws, a brushed skeletonized rotor, and perlage on the bridge and plate. This case back ensures 10 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

The dial blends modern design and elegance into a look that will captivate you every time you glance at your wrist. Extraordinarily, it is crafted from an iron meteorite known as the Muonionalusta meteorite. 18K rose gold-plated, it encapsulates the history of the solar system while delivering unmatched sophistication. The stone reveals natural engravings forming the Widmanstätten pattern - the result of an incredibly slow cooling process spanning millions of years. This golden base is framed by a chapter ring bearing a classic minute track with bold markers at each hour. The applied, beveled baton indices are filled with SuperLumiNova® BGW9 for clear readability in low light. The metal hour and minute hands feature a faceted, brushed finish in perfect harmony with the dial, creating a beautiful contrast - they are also luminescent, complemented by a slim, long seconds hand in gunmetal. A discreet date window sits at 6 o'clock, with "Swiss Made" printed below and the collection name above. On the opposite side, just beneath the double 12 o'clock indices, the brand logo and name appear as a mark of authenticity.

The Movement

The automatic movement in this model is the embodiment of mechanical precision. The Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 caliber is officially COSC-certified and subjected to a rigorous 15-day testing protocol to guarantee extraordinary levels of mechanical accuracy, reliability, and precision. Equipped with 26 jewels and a beat rate of 28,800 vph (4 Hz), it delivers a power reserve of 41 hours. The Glucydur balance wheel - exceptionally hard, dimensionally stable, deformation-resistant, non-magnetic, and corrosion-proof - takes performance to another level. This movement offers analog three-hand display with a date function.

The Strap

It measures 20 mm at the lug width and features a patented quick-release system for fast and easy strap changes.

The strap is crafted in stainless steel, adding a touch of timeless elegance. Its silver tone is enhanced by a refined alternation of brushed and polished finishes. Made up of three rows of links, it fastens with a deployant clasp featuring a micro-adjustment system.

Water Resistance

This model is rated at 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters of water resistance. In other words - it's genuinely waterproof. Ready to join you in any aquatic adventure, from puddles to the pool, this timepiece handles swimming without complaint. Showers, baths, and laps in the pool? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want you to know that while this model is water-resistant, it is not rated for diving (recreational or professional) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend not operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
