Introducing The New Formex REEF 39.5mm Bahama Blue Automatic 300M

An ideal diver's watch for summer adventures, tailored to suit the season

Formex was founded by two Swiss brothers, Hans-Peter and Ferdinand Grädel, both esteemed watchmakers and enthusiasts. The brand offers timepieces that blend exceptional craftsmanship with cutting-edge design, all at an accessible price point. Following the success of the Essence Space Gold, which features a rose gold on a meteorite dial, Formex is now releasing the Reef 39.5mm "Bahama Blue", a new diver's watch that's the perfect fit for summer.

The new watch is a smaller version of the famous 300-meter water-resistant Reef diver's watch, boasting a 39.5mm diameter and an 11mm thickness. Crafted from 316L stainless steel with a titanium grade 2 container, it features a unidirectional bezel made from zirconium oxide ceramic, complementing the light blue hue of the dial. Equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment on the inside, and a stainless steel case back.

The dial features a polished surface coated with light blue lacquer, followed by seven layers of transparent lacquer. It showcases hand-applied, triangle-shaped indices angled towards the center. To enhance legibility, the indices, as well as the hour and minute hands, are brushed, polished, and coated with Super-LumiNova that emits a blue glow in the dark. Additionally, the dial includes a date window at the 6 o'clock position.

The watch is powered by the Sellita SW300-1, a COSC-certified automatic movement that operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a 56-hour power reserve. The watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet with screwed links and a buckle, at a price of AED 8,990.  

Waqt is the official exclusive retailer for Formex in the UAE, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to experience these exceptional timepieces firsthand. You can explore and order Formex watches from our E-shop.
