The striking 42mm Formex REEF diver has a highly distinctive stainless-steel case which provides both deep dive security and aesthetic symmetry. A double gasket protects the crown, and the watch is fully tested to 300m of water resistance. Mirror polished bevels and brushed surfaces throughout the design create a pleasing balance between elegance and the brand’s high-octane spirit.
The REEF’s unidirectional rotatable bezel is made of an extremely hard and scratch-resistant Zirconium oxide ceramic with the graduations and numbers engraved by femtosecond laser pulsations. Each bezel takes one hour of precision engraving to achieve this three-dimensional effect. What’s more, the bezel can be removed by hand and changed for a different colour bezel. This is a one-of-a-kind system that you won’t find on any other dive watch!
The sunburst finished dial is manufactured in-house and available in multiple colours. The gradient for the different colours is sprayed by hand. The REEF’s bold hour markers are hand-applied and the hands and hour markers, along with a capsule on the bezel’s zero marker, are filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9 which emits a blue glow.
Powering the watch is a self-winding Chronometer certified Sellita SW300 base. This 25-jewel automatic movement is modified with a customised skeletonized rotor and gives a 42h power reserve. Formex purposely chose this thin movement as it allows the REEF to be just 11.4mm in height.
The REEF comes on a stainless-steel bracelet which features a buckle with a new patented fine-adjustment system, along with a completely re-engineered quick release system that allows you to remove the bracelet without tools.
