Formex Essence ThirtyNine Automatic Chronometer COSC

Smaller - Lighter - Better​

NEW: Essence 39 mm Automatic Chronometer​


Hi Michael. The Essence has been Formex's most popular collection so far. Many of you felt it would fit even better on the wrist if it wears a little bit smaller. While we kept all the standout features and finishes of the 43mm Essence, we added more details and shrank it to just 39mm. This is the Essence ThirtyNine!

We couldn't be more grateful to you, our Formex community. Your feedback helps us making our watches better. That's why we give you 48 hours exclusive early access to our pre-order, before the Essence ThirtyNine officially launches on Thursday, December 10th. The Pre-Order site can only be accessed with a secret by clicking on the "Access now" button. Make sure not to miss our LIMITED PRE-ORDER OFFER:

The first 100 pre-orders pay the price for the Essence ThirtyNine on the leather strap, but will receive the stainless steel bracelet on top FOR FREE (you save $287)!!! Here's how it works: 1. add your Essence ThirtyNine on the leather strap to the cart. 2. In the cart, click on "Customise your watch" and add the stainless steel bracelet to the cart. 3.

39 mm Stainless Steel Case​

The ThirtyNine might be smaller in dimension, but comes with the same detailed finishing as the original Essence. The brush finish on both case and bezel are perfectly rounded off with hand-finished mirror polished bevels. With a height of just 10mm, this watch will fit under your shirt cuff as well as your wing suit...

4 unique Dials​

The horizontal lines on the dial are one of the watch's most defining features. To achieve the crisp lines and sharp angles, each line has been CNC machined into the dial individually. The mirror polished bevels on the indexes and hands reflect the finishing of the case. With a new green dial, we add another unique look to the Essence collection.

Adjustable straps & bracelet​

For a perfect fit on the wrist at all times, we've built in a fine-adjustment system in both the stainless steel bracelet and the leather strap clasp. Both strap options come with a quick release system that allows to swap straps in seconds without the use of tools.

ABOUT THIS WATCH​

The new ThirtyNine might be smaller in dimension but comes with the same detailed finishing as the original Essence. The brush finish on both case and bezel are perfectly rounded off with hand-finished mirror polished bevels. These polished chamfers can be found throughout the watch; on the machined indexes, the hands, the stainless-steel bracelet and the buckle of the new deployant clasp.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM​

Since the beginning of Formex in 1999, the patented Case Suspension System has been an integral part of every single Formex timepiece. Its two main functions are:
  • absorbs shocks to protect the mechanical movement from heavy impacts
  • adds to the comfort on the wrist by adapting to the wearer’s movements
Modeled with high-performance bikes and racing cars in mind, the Formex patented case suspension system works by integrating four springs between the upper and lower watch case. The result is the ultimate shock absorption system designed to protect the mechanical movement and deliver unparalleled comfort to the wearer.

This patented case suspension system brings form and function together for Formex Swiss watches. It’s functional, it’s state of the art engineering and it’s unquestionably unique - all in one watch.

FINE-ADJUSTMENT DEPLOYANT CARBON CLASP​

Your strap comes on our new deployant clasp with a patented fine-adjustment. More intuitive to operate, the new version is fully made out of our proprietary carbon fiber composite. The micro-adjustment is now even easier to use and can be operated while the watch is on your wrist. Lightweight, smooth to the touch, ultra-durable and highly functional, this clasp is a real piece of engineering, making your Watch even more comfortable to wear.
