  • About this watch

    An aviation watch is characterized by its large and highly legible dial, allowing a pilot to be able to quickly and easily read time in both good and bad weather, day or night. With our Pilot watch, we modernize the aviation chronograph and create a highly functional and sporty timepiece. Powering this timepiece is the tested and proven Swiss Made Valjoux 7750 Automatic movement. 

    Robust. The stainless steel case with its patented Case Suspension System is made to protect the movement from the forces found in an air-race airplane.

    Luxurious. Although extremely tough and streamlined to perfection, this watch is crafted with passion and flawless precision.

    Comfortable. Our patented case suspension system mean you can walk (or fly) in style and comfort. For even more comfort on the wrist, you can upgrade your leather strap with the patented clasp featuring an integrated Micro-Adjustment System. Click for more here…

    Bold. The large and highly legible dial stands out with luminescent hands and sharp lines.

    Yours. You don’t have to sit in the lap of luxury to put something luxurious on your wrist. Our direct-to-consumer approach means you'll get the best quality at a fraction of the cost of any comparable Swiss Made watch.

Suspension System

Since the beginning of Formex in 1999, the patented Case Suspension System has been an integral part of every single Formex timepiece. Its two main functions are:

  • absorbs shocks to protect the mechanical movement from heavy impacts
  • adds to the comfort on the wrist by adapting to the wearer’s movements

Modeled with high-performance bikes and racing cars in mind, the Formex patented case suspension system works by integrating four springs between the upper and lower watch case. The result is the ultimate shock absorption system designed to protect the mechanical movement and deliver unparalleled comfort to the wearer.

This patented case suspension system brings form and function together for Formex Swiss watches. It’s functional, it’s state of the art engineering and it’s unquestionably unique - all in one watch.

FINE-ADJUSTMENT CLASP

Your leather strap comes with a conventional pin buckle. However, you can upgrade your clasp with our in-house developed carbon-fiber composite folding clasp. It features a patented 7mm fine-adjustment system that allows to gradually micro adjust the length of the strap without taking off the watch. As our wrists change size during the day and in different temperatures, this system gives a bespoke fit no matter the conditions, improving the comfort and fit on the wrist. Choose between the stainless steel buckle or the black titanium buckle.

IN THE PRESS

"It is indeed a worthy pick if you a looking for an aggressive sporty/technical design, and if you’re not the type to need a famous brand name to impress your friends." Xavier Markl, Editor
"I’ve not been this impressed by a watch from the moment I opened the box for a long time. It doesn’t happen very often at all, and when it does, I feel delighted". Joshua Clare-Flagg, Owner of WIAA
