FORMEX (Swiss) Essence Leggera 41mm “Arctic White” Automatic COSC Chronomètre Dress Watch On Black Rubber Strap

“The Essence Leggera is an ultra-light and uncompromisingly forward-thinking high-precision Swiss Made watch. With its subtle structure and a smooth, slightly silky feel, the 40g (1.4oz) case made of Carbon Fibre Composite was entirely developed in-house. Bezel and crown are made of scratch-proof Zirconium Oxide ceramic. Unique features, such as the patented Micro-Adjustment and Case Suspension Systems, will make the Essence Leggera wear exceptionally comfortable on your wrist.”

> Movement: Under the hood beats a Swiss Made Sellita SW-200-1 automatic movement ensuring both accuracy and reliability. It comes in its highest quality grade “Chronometer”, using top of the line components only found in Chronometer-grade movements. Each of the movements undergoes the COSC-certification process, a meticulous 15-day rate test to ensure extraordinary levels of mechanical accuracy and precision. Only the movements who pass the stringent assessment will be certified and engraved with a unique serial number. The movements’ power reserve extends to approximately 41 hours.

> Dial: The updated Leggera collection comes with a series of multi-finished, in-house manufactured dials. Choose the extremely thin forged carbon fiber dial for a unique piece, as each dial has an individual pattern, created by machining the forged carbon fiber. The Arctic White dial on this particular model comes with the Essence’s signature horizontal lines which are individually CNC-machined into the dial base. Same applies for the Mamba Green model. The Electric Blue dial has a mesmerising sunray finish while the Cool Grey comes in a glossy cement look. Hands and hand-applied  indexes are mirror polished on the bevels to increase legibility during the day, while deep-filled grade A BGW9 SuperLumiNova emits a strong, blue lume in low light conditions.

> 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 7mm 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 black rubber strap, with the fine-adjustment carbon fibre composite 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 the watch on a second 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.
