The Stratos UTC
Automatic 41 mm
Jumping Timezones
The Stratos represents Formex’s vision of a modern Pilot watch, delivering the most intuitive true GMT functionality on the market. Powered by an ETA 2892 movement enhanced with a custom module from Dubois-Dépraz, it offers effortless timezone adjustments. With a simple click of a pusher, the local hour hand jumps forward or backward by one hour, while the UTC hand remains steady. The date, displayed as a small second at 6 o’clock, adjusts even if the hour hand moves past midnight. A separate pusher allows for quick date setting independently from the screw-down crown, and a day/night indicator ensures you always stay on track with your local timezone.
"Formex's reputation for pioneering case and clasp systems has earned us a strong following in the watch community. With the Stratos, I wanted to build on that foundation by introducing a movement complication that's not only distinctive but truly practical for the frequent and not so frequent traveller."
Multi-layered stainless steel case
Meticulously finished by hand

The watch is paired with the popular steel bracelet from the Essence collection, complete with articulated, screwed links and a patented, fully concealed micro-extension system. For those who prefer leather, we offer soft, comfortable straps secured by our carbon fiber deployant clasp, featuring a patented gradual fine adjustment system.
The most intuitive
true GMT watch
Whether you're a frequent traveler needing quick timezone changes or someone who embarks on occasional journeys and prefers simplicity, the Stratos is designed to make your life easier. Adjusting to a new timezone is as simple as a few clicks on the pusher, with no need to reach for the manual.
