Formex ESSENCE ThirtyNine Automatic Chronometer Space Ghost 39 mm
ABOUT THIS WATCH
After selling out in under 72 hours in 41mm, the Essence Space Ghost returns in Formex's most popular case size: 39mm. This release retains everything that made the original so compelling, while introducing the upgraded Essence case with a screw-down crown seamlessly integrated into the patented Case Suspension System for enhanced security, shock resistance, and all-day comfort. A refined stainless-steel bracelet completes the package, featuring a more intuitive fine-adjustment system for quick, on-the-fly sizing without tools.
Its standout feature: a silver-finish dial cut from the 4.5-billion-year-old Muonionalusta meteorite, naturally etched with a unique Widmanstatten pattern-no two dials are alike. A proprietary rhodium treatment preserves the raw, crystalline structure of the material while sealing the surface for long-term durability and a lasting silvery sheen. Blued hands and applied markers heighten the dial's spectral character, creating a striking contrast that shifts subtly with changing light.
Production of the Essence Space Ghost 39mm is limited to 200 pieces per year.
Movement
This watch is powered by Sellita's highest quality grade SW200-1 Swiss Made Automatic movement, beautifully decorated and wound by Formex's custom skeletonized rotor. Each one of these movements is certified by the COSC and undergoes the meticulous 15-day rate test to ensure extraordinary levels of mechanical accuracy and precision.
Dial
The Space Ghost's dial is cut from the Muonionalusta meteorite - a fragment over 4.5 billion years old that struck earth more than a million years ago. Its distinctive Widmanstatten pattern, formed through slow cooling over eons, gives each dial its own intricate, interlacing structure - no two are alike. To preserve the meteorite's natural beauty and prevent oxidation, Formex, together with Cadranor, the sister company specialized in dials and a reference in the industry, developed a proprietary treatment that penetrates into the porous iron matrix. A galvanic rhodium plating seals the surface and enhances its silvery sheen without compromising the raw texture beneath. Blued hands and markers amplify the dial's spectral character.
Straps and Clasps
Choose the stainless-steel bracelet with a seamless, patented butterfly clasp offering three discreet micro-adjust settings (0 / 3 / 6 mm) you can change in seconds-no tools, no removal, even to tighten. Leather, rubber, and nylon straps pair with Formex's in-house deployant clasp featuring a gradual fine-adjust system for a dialed-in fit. All options are quick-change, so you can swap between straps and bracelet without tools-fast and secure.
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.
