On 24 October 2025, Formex took part in WatchTime Düsseldorf, one of the most anticipated horological gatherings in Europe. The event served as a platform for the Swiss brand to display its latest creations, drawing attention from enthusiasts and industry insiders alike.

Key Models on Display

Among the highlights were the newly upgraded Essence 39, the ambitious Aria Manufacture Chronometer, and the rugged Reef Forged Carbon. Each piece underscored Formex's philosophy of delivering high-performance watches with exceptional finishing at accessible prices.

The Essence 39: Refined and Improved

The Essence 39 received a significant upgrade, featuring a new movement with improved accuracy and a selection of fresh dial colours. This model continues to be a cornerstone of the brand, offering a perfect balance of elegance and sportiness.

The Aria: A Bold Step Forward

The Aria Manufacture Chronometer represents Formex's entry into the integrated-bracelet sports watch segment. Equipped with the brand's first exclusive micro-rotor movement, it combines technical sophistication with a distinctive design. The watch quickly became a talking point at the fair.

Reef Forged Carbon: Built for Adventure

For dive watch enthusiasts, the Reef 39.5mm Automatic COSC 300M Forged Carbon offered a compelling option. Its lightweight yet robust case and striking aesthetics make it a versatile companion for underwater exploration.

Value Proposition and Craftsmanship

Formex's presence at WatchTime Düsseldorf reinforced its reputation as a brand that challenges the status quo. By leveraging its manufacturing capabilities, the company delivers watches that often rival more established luxury names in terms of quality and innovation, but at a fraction of the price.

Attendees had the opportunity to experience the watches firsthand, with many praising the tactile quality of the bracelets and the precision of the movements. The event highlighted Formex's ongoing commitment to pushing boundaries while staying true to its core values of functionality and design.

For those unable to attend, the new models are available through the official USATWO Watches platform, where collectors can explore the full range.

Buying Tips for Enthusiasts

When considering a Formex watch, pay attention to the case finishing and bracelet quality, which are exceptional for the price.
Check the movement specifications: many models are COSC-certified, ensuring high accuracy.
Explore limited editions like the Reef Forged Carbon, which offer unique materials and exclusivity.

Authenticity Notes

To ensure you purchase a genuine Formex, buy only from authorized dealers or the official USATOW store. Counterfeit models often lack the fine details found in authentic pieces, such as the patented case suspension system.
