PREORDER: Brand Direct: Formex Watches - Essence ThirtyNine **FREE BRACELET OFFER**
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:
SPECIFICATION:
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
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.
MOVEMENT:
Swiss Made Sellita SW200-1 (self-winding) Automatic (Chronometer grade), officially certified by COSC. 26 jewels and glucydur balance wheel. Date display. Custom-built skeleton rotor with thermally blued screws. 38 hours power reserve.
CASE:
- Diameter: 39mm
- Height: 10mm
- Lug width: 20mm
- Lug-to-lug: 45mm
- Water resistance: 10 bar (100 metres / 330 feet)

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...

They're only offering 100 free bracelets, so act fast.
Seems with 100m, it could make a great swim watch....
