Rounding out a really impressive re-brand, this new version of the Essence has all the awesome goodness of its predecessors, but returns to the 43 mm format with a new, restrained and (dare I say it) pretty fab logo.

As the previous iterations of the Essence, it features the patented case suspension system. And under the hood is a COSC chronometer movement.

It is available in five difference color options.

And the choice doesn't stop there. Not everyone wants a steel bracelet, well Formex has you covered with several different strap options including rubber and leather. Thanks to the Formex configurator you can make it the way you want it.

And best of all, a very affordable price - $1,390 US with bracelet and $1,280 with strap.
