Hello everyone,

I have the very popular Formex Essence for sale. This is the COSC version. This was famous for the suspension system, check it out, pretty cool. These were all sold out.

It has been lightly worn and shows light signs of wear. There are light scratches here and there, the only note worthy ding is there is a small scratch on the bezel at 12 o'clock. The buckle has some rubbing/scratches. Strap is in excellent condition.

I know I am biased here but the dial on this is really beautiful. You won't be disappointed at this price point.

It comes with everything, box & papers. NOTE: The strap is oddly long. When you order it online you can choose all kinds of different straps and lengths. If your wrist is under 7.25 inches, you will most likely need to change the strap.

MOVEMENT
Swiss Made Sellita SW200-1 (self-winding) Automatic (Chronometer grade), officially certified by COSC. 26 jewels and glucydur balance wheel. Date display. Custom-built skeleton rotor with thermally blued screws. 38 hours power reserve.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM
Since the beginning of Formex in 1999, the patented Case Suspension System has been an integral part of every single Formex timepiece. Its two main functions are:
-absorbs shocks to protect the mechanical movement from heavy impacts
-adds to the comfort on the wrist by adapting to the wearer’s movements

These cost around 1,500 Cad. I am asking 850.
