What to know

The Reef 39.5 Bahama Blue gives Formex’s compact diver a vivid summer palette without reducing its technical capability. The blue dial begins with a mirror-polished surface, receives coloured lacquer and is covered by seven transparent lacquer layers before final polishing. A matching zirconium-oxide ceramic bezel uses black-filled diving numerals and can be removed and exchanged by hand.

The steel case measures 39.5mm across, 45.5mm lug-to-lug and 11mm thick, with a sapphire crystal, screw-down crown and 300-metre rating. Its COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 automatic movement has 25 jewels and a 56-hour reserve. Quick-release straps and bracelets use gradual adjustment systems, while BGW9-filled hands and applied markers retain strong low-light legibility. Launch pricing started at €1,790.
