REEF with new dial & interchangeable bezels​

Hi Michael. So it’s “just” a new white dial? NO… it’s much more than that. We've updated our entire REEF collection with a one of its kind, tool-less bezel change system and a smooth 120-click action. The first 100 owners of the new REEF (any dial/bezel combination) receive a FREE additional bezel of their choice. Apply code...

...in your cart. This is a member only offer, thank you for NOT sharing it outside the group today! Head over to the Formex Online Boutique and configure your REEF now.

New white dial​

The 42mm stainless-steel case with its distinctive shape remains unchanged with the updated REEF collection, so does the highly wearable height of just 11.4mm. We've added a new snow white dial that features black hands & indices with the same meticulous finishing you know from the other 4 dial colors.

Interchangeable bezels & straps​

Besides the all tool-less strap exchange, a REEF owner can now also swap the bezel with just a flick on the wrist. FORMEX engineers developed a one of its kind bezel mounting system that allows to pull out the bezel from the case by hand and exchange it with another of the 4 color options (black, blue, green, steel). The bezel underwent a re-engineering that followed customer feedback and now has a 120-click unidirectional action with a nylon ring for a noticeably smoother click.

ABOUT THIS WATCH​

A true Divers’ watch by design, the 42mm stainless steel watch is powered by a self-winding COSC-certified SW300 that comes in Sellita’s highest quality grade, using top of the line components only found in Chronometer-grade movements. This thin high-precision caliber allowed to construct the REEF at just 11.4mm thickness and a perceived height of 9.4mm, making it a great fit for the elegant occasions alike. For any underwater activities, a double gasket construction is designed and tested for 300 m / 1000 ft of water resistance.

Being one of the most exposed parts, the unidirectional rotatable bezel is made of an extremely hard and scratch-resistant Zirconium oxide ceramic. The graduations and numbers are engraved by femto-laser pulsations. Each bezel takes 60 minutes of precision engraving to achieve its three-dimensional effect. Machined gear-like indentations on the bezel’s edge allow a diver the ideal grip to safely set and monitor diving time and decompression stops. The 60 click action is responsive and smooth, yet offers firm and precise function of the bezel.

The sunray finished dial is manufactured at Formex’s in-house dial manufacture in the Jura mountains. The gradient for the different colors is sprayed by hand. The REEF’s bold rehaut-style hour markers are also hand-applied and triangle shaped, pointing towards the broad hour and minute hands that share the same detailed beveled mirror polish and brushed top surface finishing. Hands and hour markers as well as a capsule on the bezel’s zero marker are deep-filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 that emits a long-lasting blue glow in dark conditions. Being able to read the time with absolute certainty is a matter of survival when diving.

Both the solid-link bracelet and the rubber strap feature a buckle with a patented fine-adjustment system as well as a completely re-engineered and patented quick release system that allows to swap straps without the use of any tools.

Yeah bring me champagne when I'm thirsty.
Bring me reefer when I want to get high.
Well you know when I'm lonely
Bring my woman set her right down here by my side.
Well you know there should be no law
on people that want to smoke a little dope.
Well you know there should be no law
on people that want to smoke a little dope.
Well you know it's good for your head
And it relax your body don't you know.
Everytime I get high
I lay my head down on my baby's breast.
Well you know I lay down be quiet
Tryin' to take my rest.
Well you know she done hug and kiss me
Says Muddy your one man that I love the best.
I'm gonna get high
Gonna get high just as sure as you know my name.
Y'know I'm gonna get so high this morning
It's going to be a cryin' shame.
Well you know I'm gonna stick with my reefer
Ain't gonna be messin' round with no cocaine.
