PREORDER: Brand Direct: Formex Watches - Essence ThirtyNine **FREE BRACELET OFFER**

Post by TheJohnP »

As [mention]pdsf[/mention] teased here - viewtopic.php?f=5&p=80908#p80486
Formex is getting ready to launch their latest model, the 39mm version of the Essence chronometer collection.

The watch officially launches on Thursday, 12/10 but available to preorder sooner to those on their email list.
If you're interested, here's a link that will get you to the early access preorder:

https://usd.formexwatch.com/collections ... kifQ%3D%3D

Formex Essence ThirtyNine pricing starts at $1,280

In addition, the first 100 preorders who use code ESSENCE39 can receive the stainless steel bracelet on FOR FREE (you save $287)!
Here's how it works:
1. Add your Essence ThirtyNine on the leather strap to the cart.
2. In the cart, click on "Customise your watch" and add the stainless steel bracelet to the cart.
3. Go to checkout and apply the code ESSENCE39


Estimated delivery is end of Feb 2021

The Essence has been Formex's most popular collection so far. Many of you felt it would fit even better on the wrist if it wears a little bit smaller. While we kept all the standout features and finishes of the 43mm Essence, we added more details and shrank it to just 39mm. This is the Essence ThirtyNine!

The Essence ThirtyNine is available in four colorways:

Thanks [mention]TheJohnP[/mention]!

I saw a couple of YT vids on the 43mm version and it really does look like a well-made watch.

They told me the green in the images is quite representative how it looks irl.

Phenomenal deal IMO and a new benchmark for watches in the $1k territory. I would've have snapped it up easily had it had a screw-down crown for personal criteria. Still just an amazing value IMO.

It’s a lovely bracelet on the first ‘big’ edition if that helps discourage you...
