Formex Field Automatic - Automatic Golden Honey 40mm
ABOUT THIS WATCH
Rugged. Refined. Ready. The Formex Field Automatic is designed to adapt — from untamed backcountry trails to busy city streets. Built for performance and crafted with purpose, it combines durability, comfort, and timeless versatility in one distinctive piece.
The case and crown are made from Grade 2 titanium, chosen for its light weight, hypoallergenic properties, and natural patina. A proprietary hardening treatment increases the surface hardness from 145 Vickers to 900 Vickers — nearly three times harder than Grade 5 titanium — while retaining titanium’s unmistakable comfort and low-weight feel.
The dual-layer dial construction adds remarkable depth and dimension. A sunburst-finished center is framed by a sloped chapter ring with recessed stencil numerals, all filled with color-matched Super-LumiNova® for legibility in any light. The beveled date window and coordinated date wheel integrate seamlessly into the design.
Reinforced with 150 meters of water resistance and powered by a Swiss automatic movement, the Field Automatic is a precision instrument built for the unexpected. Reimagined nylon and Velcro straps offer rugged comfort, while leather options come fitted with Formex’s patented carbon-fiber deployant clasp featuring an on-the-fly 7 mm micro-adjustment.
From the backcountry to the boardroom, the Field Automatic is the essential companion for those who demand versatility — and appreciate the details that make the difference.

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.
