FORMEX (Swiss) Essence 43mm “Dégradé” Automatic COSC Chronomètre Dress Watch On Brown Leather Strap

“The Essence combines elegance and robustness in a Swiss mechanical high precision timepiece. With its patented Case Suspension System, waterproof case, COSC-certified Swiss Automatic movement and flawless hand-finished surfaces, the Formex Essence is a study in what it means to have the best of both worlds. On top of that, unique features, such as our patented Micro-Adjustment System, will make the Essence wear exceptionally comfortable on your wrist.”

Movement: The Essence FortyThree is powered by Sellita’s highest quality grade SW200-1 Swiss Made Automatic movement, beautifully decorated and wound by Formex’s custom skeletonized rotor. Each one of these movements is certified by the COSC and undergoes the meticulous 15-day rate test to ensure extraordinary levels of mechanical accuracy and precision.

Dial: 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 “dégradé” but also green and white dials, we add another unique look to the Essence collection.

Straps & Clasps: For a perfect fit and more comfort on the wrist at all times, we’re using the new Formex Deployante clasp with a gradual fine-adjustment system  for the leather and rubber straps. The stainless steel bracelet, which reflects the same flawless finishing of the Essence’s case, has a hidden Micro-Extension. All straps and the steel bracelet can be changed without the use of any tools and in just a few seconds. This particular watch comes on the Formex brown leather strap with the fine-adjustment deployment clasp. If you prefer a different strap or an additional strap or bracelet, ask us for stock availability. We carry a wide selection of straps, including Formex-branded straps and bracelets. The last photo shows on the right, the watch on a second (brown) strap we will include for you, from one of the many lines we carry, that we really liked for this watch, with the compliments of Localtime. You can see the collection of these straps here.

> CASE 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

Modelled 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.

> 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.

> We also carry a large selection of Formex-branded straps and buckles.
