Dedicated to innovate, Formex created an in-house carbon composite mix to achieve an ultra-light but extra tough case. With its silky smooth look and sleek feel, the 50g watch case is comfortable to wear and can take a beating.

[h=4]HIGHLY PRECISE[/h]
Each Swiss Made Automatic movement was meticulously tested by COSC, the official Swiss testing institute for high-precision timepieces, over a period of 15 days. It ensures industry-leading precision & accuracy.

[h=4]SCRATCH-PROOF[/h]
With a hardness that surpasses that of any traditional metal used in watchmaking, Formex engineers used Zirconium Oxide ceramic for the most exposed components on the Essence watch case; the bezel and crown.

We ruled out another crowdfunding campaign (read Raphael's article here) and decided to take matters in our own hands instead. This allows us to work with deposits instead of pledges, and guarantees you the Formex typical all-inclusive pricing
(Shipping, Taxes/Duties, Returns/Refunds, 3-Year Warranty included).

Officially certified Swiss mechanical precision

The Formex Essence Leggera Automatic Chronometer is powered by a beautifully decorated and officially certified STP1-11 Swiss Made Automatic movement. Each one of which has been meticulously tested by COSC, the official Swiss testing institute for high-precision timepieces. This certification ensures industry-leading precision & accuracy.

Ultra-light (50g) and comfortable

Fully utilizing our in-house engineering capabilities, Formex created a special Carbon Fiber Composite mix to achieve an ultra-light but extra tough watch case. With its subtle structure and a smooth, slightly silky feel, the 50g (1.76oz) case is comfortable to wear and can take a beating.

Scratch-resistant and ready for every adventure

With a hardness that surpasses that of any traditional metal used in watchmaking, Zirconium Oxide ceramic is a scratch-proof material that will never show any signs of wear or aging. Being the most exposed components on a watch case, both the bezel and crown are made of this high-tech ceramic.

Every single timepiece is unique

The extremely thin forged carbon fiber dial contributes to the light weight and looks mesmerizing. Each single watch becomes a unique piece because of the individual dial pattern, created by machining the forged carbon fiber. The contrast and structure on the dial with its applied indices are truly exceptional.

Watch them live on Friday October 25th, 6PM CEST and support Formex Ambassador Thomas Genon.

"All in all, this is a very complete and robust watch that wears surprisingly well. Formex once again shows that a reliable, accurate, comfortable and sturdy watch doesn't have to break the bank."
