The Formex Essence 41mm Space Ghost watch has been launched, offering a unique blend of style and technology. This new model boasts a 41mm stainless steel case with a height of 10.6mm and a lug-to-lug of 46.5mm, making it a perfect fit for a wide range of users [1][3][5].

Inside the watch, there is a COSC-certified Sellita SW200-1 movement, which offers a 41-hour power reserve and a 4Hz beat rate. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters and features sapphire crystals front and back with anti-reflective coating [1][3][5].

One of the standout features of the Formex Essence 41mm Space Ghost is its meteorite dial. Made from a 4.5-billion-year-old Muonionalusta meteorite fragment, this dial exhibits the natural Widmanstätten pattern formed by slow cooling over millions of years. Formex and its sister company Cadranor developed a proprietary galvanic rhodium plating treatment to preserve the meteorite’s raw texture while preventing oxidation, enhancing its silvery sheen [1][3][5].

The watch's hands are heat-blued, and the applied indices are filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9, creating strong visual contrast without obscuring the intricate crystalline structure of the meteorite dial.

The redesigned clasp is another significant upgrade. On the stainless steel bracelet, a next-generation micro-adjustable butterfly clasp allows on-the-fly adjustment with three positions (0mm, 3mm, and 6mm) without opening the clasp. This setup improves comfort and fit adaptability. Strap options include leather, rubber, and nylon, each with a carbon-fiber deployant clasp providing 7mm of fine adjustment [1][2][3][5].

All straps and the bracelet use a tool-free quick-release system for easy interchangeability. The price range for the Formex Essence Space Ghost is approximately €2,090 for leather, nylon, or rubber straps, and €2,190 for the stainless steel bracelet variant [3][5].

The new Formex Essence 41mm Space Ghost model will be produced in a limited batch of 150 pieces per year, with pre-orders opening in August 2025 and deliveries starting mid-September 2025 [3][5]. While the meteorite dial may not be to everyone's taste, other options may become available in the future.

In conclusion, the Formex Essence 41mm Space Ghost watch offers a classy appearance, thanks to its meteorite dial, and a range of updates in the rest of the spec sheet. Whether you prefer a leather, nylon, rubber, or steel bracelet, there's a version of this watch to suit your style and budget. Pre-orders are now open, so don't miss out on this unique timepiece!
