What to know

The Essence 41 Malachite introduces natural stone to Formex’s steel sports-watch line. Each green dial is cut from genuine malachite, so its bands and swirls vary from watch to watch. The 41mm steel case measures 46.5mm lug-to-lug and 10.6mm thick, while sapphire crystals front and back, a screw-down crown and the brand’s Case Suspension System accompany 100 metres of water resistance.

Formex fits the COSC-certified Sellita SW200-2 Power+ automatic calibre, with 26 jewels and a 65-hour reserve. Applied faceted markers and hands carry BGW9 lume, and the colour-matched date sits at six. The 2026 production batch is limited to 120 pieces, with delivery originally scheduled from late September.
