The Essence 39 is Formex’s interpretation of a mechanical everyday watch: precise, comfortable and designed to move effortlessly between the office, travel, sport and more formal occasions. Its compact 39 mm stainless steel case combines clean, contemporary proportions with engineering focused on how the watch feels and functions in everyday life.
The Alpine White dial gives the watch a fresh, crisp presence. Its bright surface is contrasted by richly blued hands and hand-applied indices, introducing a distinctive touch of color while preserving the balanced and versatile character of the Essence 39. The contrast is immediate, but never overpowering.
Inside, the latest-generation Swiss Made Sellita SW200-2 Power+ movement extends the power reserve from 41 to 65 hours while improving winding efficiency and shock resistance. It retains its 4 Hz frequency for excellent rate stability, and every movement is individually COSC-certified for chronometer-grade precision.
Comfort is engineered into the watch itself. The patented Case Suspension System allows the case to flex gently on the wrist, adapting to natural movement throughout the day. Together with the micro-adjustable clasps available on both the steel bracelet and all rubber, nylon and leather straps, it creates a wearing experience that feels considered down to the smallest detail.
The result is a highly precise and versatile mechanical watch with a clean, distinctive appearance, built to feel right wherever the day takes you.
