The Formex Field puts the brand’s own unique spin on the classic field watch. By design, all field watches tend to follow a very similar layout, and Formex have managed to stick to that whilst giving the watch a distinct look.
To achieve this Formex chose a very contemporary stencil font for the numerals and stamped them into the dial. These recessed numbers work in tandem with the curved chapter section to add a great sense of depth to the dial. As you’d expect on a field watch, the hands and markers are filled with Super-LumiNova to ensure you’ll be able to tell the time in the dark.
The Formex Field is of course an incredibly durable piece. The 41mm case is made from grade 2 titanium, which has undergone a special hardening treatment. The result is that the surface hardness of the case increases from 145 Vickers to approximately 900 Vickers.
In addition, the watch has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating to ensure crystal clear legibility. The watch also has a screw-down crown and a decent 150m of water resistance.
Powering the Formex Field is a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. The movement is a reliable choice that’s used by countless brands and is easily serviced. The SW200-1 has 26 jewels and a 38-hour power reserve.
The strap is a one-piece nylon strap with a hook and loop fastening, allowing you to adjust it to fit your wrist perfectly. This model is also available in a range of alternative dial colours as is a selection of leather straps.
