Formex is an independent Swiss watchmaker blending breakthrough engineering with purposeful design. Founded in 1999, the brand draws on deep expertise in cases, bracelets, and dials to create mechanically precise, lightweight sports watches—celebrated for innovation, comfort, and real-world performance.
Today, Formex continues to push boundaries, offering watches crafted from distinctive materials such as ultra-light carbon fibre, ceramic composites, and more. Across select collections, various watches can be complemented by bracelets featuring a patented Micro-Adjustments system or an interchangeable bezel—distinctive details that define the brand’s distinct modern identity. Designed, developed, and assembled in-house in Switzerland, every Formex watch embodies true Swiss craftsmanship and precision.
Born from the shared vision of two brothers, both watchmakers and devoted horology enthusiasts, Formex was created to merge fine craftmanship with a passion for motorsports. Innovation lies at the heart of the brand’s identity, brought to life through the creation of its signature Case Suspension System. Available in select models, this cushion-like system safeguards the movement while delivering a noticeable boost in wrist comfort.
FORMEX HIGHLIGHTS
The Essence of comfort and precision
As Formex’s flagship collection, the Essence is an undeniable showstopper. Available in a variety of case sizes, every model leverages the brand’s shock-absorbing construction, complemented by a cleverly engineered screw-down crown designed to work in tandem to maximise both comfort and protection on the wrist. The Essence comes alive in multiple dial colours, with select model defined by the presence of CNC-machined horizontal line pattern that add depth and further appeal. Powering it all is a Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement that’s COSC-certified for chronometer-grade precision and backed up by a 41-hour power reserve.
A chameleon of the deep
Built for those who thrive on action, Formex’s Reef collection brings serious muscle. Designed as a serious dive watch for advanced users, it features a unidirectional rotatable bezel crafted from ultra-hard Zirconium oxide for extreme scratch resistance and includes markings executed using femto-laser pulsation. Best to all, Formex allows you to swap bezels in seconds, giving the Reef a level of versatility rarely seen in dive watches. Offered with a sunray-finished dial, the Reef draws its power from a COSC-certified Sellita SW300 automatic movement. With a 300m water resistance on board, the Reef stands out as a bold statement in rugged yet refined design.
