Formex Essence Automatic Silver 0330.1.7341.722

Formex launched the Essence on Kickstarter in two versions: the Automatic Chronometer, certified by COSC, and this Automatic, which skips the certificate and swaps the Chronometer's vertically brushed dial for a sunray finish. The case is the same 43 mm steel case, 10 mm thick under sapphire, with Formex's patented Case Suspension System, which absorbs shocks before they reach the movement and lets the case flex with the wrist.

The 0330.1.7 prefix marks the Automatic; the silver Chronometer on calf is 0330.1.6341.713, with the brushed dial and the certified Sellita SW200-1. The same silver Automatic comes on bracelet (0330.1.7341.100), croco-pattern leather (0330.1.7341.322) and rubber (0330.1.7341.910), and all take a 22 mm strap with a tool-free quick-change system. The blue (0330.1.7331.744) and black (0330.1.7321.722) Automatics on calf differ from this one only in dial colour.
