Formex Essence ThirtyNine Automatic Chronometer “Dégradé” 39mm
ABOUT THIS WATCH
The Essence ThirtyNine brings Formex's signature sports watch design into a compact and highly wearable 39mm stainless-steel case. Despite its smaller proportions, it retains the detailed finishing and technical features that define the Essence collection, including Formex's patented Case Suspension System for added shock absorption and wearing comfort.
The Dégradé dial showcases the collection's distinctive vertical brushed finish, complemented by individually CNC-machined horizontal lines that create depth and character as the light changes. Hand-finished mirror-polished bevels contrast against the brushed surfaces of the case and bezel, giving the ThirtyNine the same refined finishing as its larger siblings.
Inside is a Swiss Made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement in Chronometer grade, officially certified by COSC. Quick-release straps and bracelet options allow the watch to be changed by hand without tools, while Formex's adjustable clasp systems provide additional comfort throughout the day.

To keep your watch performing at its best, we recommend avoiding strong impacts, extreme temperatures, and prolonged exposure to moisture unless your watch is designed for water activities. After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch gently with fresh water and dry with a soft cloth.
For mechanical watches, regular wear helps keep the movement running smoothly. If the watch is not worn often, manual winding may be needed depending on the model. Quartz watches may require battery replacement over time.
Leather straps should be kept away from excessive water and humidity to preserve their appearance and longevity.
Because care recommendations can vary by brand and model, please refer to the manufacturer manual included with your watch for detailed operating instructions, water resistance guidelines, and service intervals.
