Formex Essence 39 Automatic Chronometer "Degrade" 39mm

Formex Essence 39 Automatic Chronometer "Degrade" 39mm


Formex's most popular model features a 39mm stainless steel case and is equipped with the brand's patented case suspension system. The COSC-certified movement ensures exceptional mechanical accuracy. At just 10mm thick, this is a popular watch that's perfect for taking anywhere and doing anything. Carbon composite buckle with fine adjustment.
Your watch strap comes with our new Deployant folding clasp featuring a patented micro-adjustment mechanism. This new version is even more intuitive to use and is made entirely from our patented carbon fiber composite material. The micro-adjustment is now even easier to operate and can be done while wearing the watch. This clasp is lightweight, comfortable to the touch, extremely durable, and highly functional. It's a true masterpiece of engineering and makes wearing your watch even more enjoyable.

The brushed surface of the case and bezel is perfectly complemented by highly polished chamfers on the machined indices, hands, stainless steel bracelet and folding clasp with Formex's self-developed and patented gradual 7 mm fine adjustment system.

clockwork

The Essence ThirtyNine is powered by a COSC-certified Sellita SW200 caliber, which in this version features high-quality components such as a Glucydur balance wheel, exceptionally hard and stable, highly resistant to deformation, and possessing antimagnetic properties. The movement is fully decorated, has thermally blued screws, and is wound by a skeletonized rotor specially crafted by Formex. Every caliber in the ThirtyNine collection undergoes a rigorous 15-day test by the COSC (the Official Swiss Chronometer Institute) to ensure an exceptional level of mechanical accuracy and precision.

dial

The horizontal lines on the dial are one of the watch's most striking features. To achieve the clean lines and sharp angles, each line was individually CNC-milled into the dial. The beveled date window at six o'clock integrates seamlessly with the color-coordinated date wheels. The highly polished bevels and the use of Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 on the indices and hands ensure legibility day and night.

Bracelets and clasp

For a perfect fit and enhanced wrist comfort, the Essence leather and rubber straps are compatible with the specially developed and patented Formex folding clasp, which can be finely adjusted in 7 mm increments. The stainless steel bracelet with its seamlessly integrated butterfly clasp features a hidden micro-extension. All straps, including the steel bracelet, can be changed without tools in just a few seconds.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Since Formex's inception in 1999, the patented case suspension has been an integral part of Formex timepieces. Its two main functions are:

  • Protection of the mechanical clockwork from strong shocks and impacts.
  • Increased comfort during wrist movements thanks to the flexibility of the watch case.

Four springs are positioned between the upper and lower case components, similar to the coil springs in cars or motorcycles, ensuring full wrist flexibility and effective protection of the movement against strong impacts. This patented system absorbs stress on the movement and provides the watch with exceptional wearing comfort.

Form and function unite in every Formex watch thanks to the patented case suspension. State-of-the-art technology, absolutely unique in the watch market, and uncompromising functionality – all in one watch!
