FORMEX (CH) Baby Reef 39.50mm “Bahama Blue” Automatic COSC Chronomètre 300m Sport Diver Watch – On Strap or Bracelet

> IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP <

Movement: Swiss Made Sellita SW300-1 (self-winding) Automatic (Chronometer grade), officially certified by COSC. 25 jewels. Date display. Custom-built skeleton rotor with thermally blued screws. 56 hours power reserve. An Automatic, also called self-winding watch, is a mechanical watch in which the mainspring is wound automatically as a result of the natural motion of the wearer’s arm, to provide energy to run the watch, making manual winding unnecessary. All Formex automatic movements are manufactured in Switzerland.

Dial: Experts at our own dial manufacture in the Swiss Jura mountains apply a coloured lacquer on a mirror-polished surface followed by the layering of seven coats of transparent lacquer. These are subsequently polished down to achieve a uniquely deep lustrous shine, particularly evident in the angled date window at 6 o’clock (with its color matched date wheel) – a hallmark of all Formex watches. To further create visual depth without increasing overall height (a mere 11mm!), the gun-metal finished and hand-applied indices are triangle-shaped and angled towards the center to imitate a chapter ring. To increase legibility, the indices as well as the broad hour and minute hands are vertically brushed, while the bevels are mirror polished. Hands and hour markers are deep filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 that emits a long-lasting blue glow in dark conditions.

Bezel: Being one of the most exposed parts, the unidirectional rotatable bezel is made of an extremely hard and scratch-resistant Zirconium oxide ceramic. The color-matched “Bahama Blue” bezel is polished with diamond paste and the numerals and hour markers are hand-filled with black resin for optimal legibility. 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 120 click action is responsive and smooth, yet offers firm and precise function of the bezel. Besides that, the bezel can be changed without the use of any tools and switched with one of the existing four bezel options of the Reef 39.5mm collection.

Straps & Clasps: 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. This listing gives you the choice between the OEM Formex steel bracelet, 2-piece rubber strap or 1-piece NATO strap. If you would like a blue NATO instead (or any other colour we have in stock), feel free to choose from our Localtime Premium Seatbelt NATOs here and make a note for us in your order, to exchange it. If you would like a different strap, we have also added options from other FKM or Silicone lines we carry in our store and you can see those by choosing them in the drop-down menu. All these straps come with quick-release bars pre-installed on them and are priced exactly the same as the NATO straps, which gives the most competitive price to get the watch. Lug width: 22mm.

Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflection treatment

Water Resistance: 300m/1,000ft

> DEMONSTRATION: FINE-ADJUSTMENT DEPLOYMENT CARBON CLASP:  If ordering your Formex watch on leather or rubber, your strap will come on Formex’s new deployment 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.
