  • About this watch

    Limited to just 31 pieces, this is a collaboration piece with one of the most active watch groups on Facebook, Watch Collectors Of California And Beyond (COCAB). Built in the tested and proven Essence stainless steel case with its signature Case Suspension System, this watch recognizes California with subtle design elements. On top of that, unique features, such as the patented Micro-Adjustment System, will make the Essence wear exceptionally comfortable on your wrist.

    Movement

    This watch is powered by Sellita's Top grade SW200-1 Swiss Made Automatic movement, 41 hours of power reserve,  beautifully decorated with blued screws and wound by Formex's custom skeletonized rotor.

    Dial

    The blue dial with its sunray finish celebrates Californias beautiful ocean and the many lakes and rivers. The 4 and 9 o’clock indices are highlighted in gold color, as a reminder of the historical Gold Rush (or your favorite football team if you are so inclined.) Below the COCAB group logo, the year 1850 commemorates the year California became the 31st state, hence the limited number of 31 pieces which are individually numbered on the case back.

    Straps and Clasps

    For a perfect fit and more comfort on the wrist at all times, we're using the Formex Deployant clasp with a gradual, 7mm fine-adjustment system for all leather, rubber and nylon straps. The stainless steel bracelet, which reflects the same flawless finishing of the Essence's case, has a hidden Micro-Extension. All straps and the steel bracelet can be changed without the use of any tools and in just a few seconds.

43 mm Stainless Steel Case

The brush finish on both case and bezel are perfectly rounded off with hand-finished mirror polished bevels. With a height of just 10mm, this watch will fit under your shirt cuff as well as your wing suit...

automatic swiss movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss Made Sellita SW200-1 self-winding movement with a power reserve of 41 hours. We've chosen the Top grade Soigné edition that comes with premium components such as a Glucydur balance wheel which is exceptionally hard and stable, very resistant to deformation, non-magnetic, and non-corrosive. The movement is completely decorated and wound by Formex’s in-house developed and custom built skeletonized rotor.

fine adjustment clasp

Besides contributing to visual appeal, the details on the Essence FortyThree also serve a purpose. For a timepiece to be a watch for all occasions, it needs to feel exceptionally comfortable on the wrist. For even more wrist comfort, Formex added their patented Carbon Fiber Composite Folding Clasp that allows for fine-adjustment of the strap length on the go, allowing for a perfect fit on the wrist in all conditions and temperatures. The strap can be changed without the use of any tools with Formex's patented quick release system. The stainless steel bracelet with screwed links has the same quick release system and also features a unique micro-extension system.

a unique collaboration dial

The blue dial with its sunray finish celebrates Californias beautiful ocean and the many lakes and rivers. The 4 and 9 o’clock indices are highlighted in gold color, as a reminder of the historical Gold Rush (or your favorite football team if you are so inclined.) Below the COCAB group logo, the year 1850 commemorates the year California became the 31st state, hence the limited number of 31 pieces which are individually numbered on the case back.

Suspension System

Since the beginning of Formex in 1999, the patented Case Suspension System has been an integral part of Formex timepieces. 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 DEPLOYANT CARBON CLASP

Your strap comes on our new deployant clasp with a patented fine-adjustment. More intuitive to operate, the new version is fully made out of our proprietary carbon fiber composite. The micro-adjustment is now even easier to use and can be operated while the watch is on your wrist. Lightweight, smooth to the touch, ultra-durable and highly functional, this clasp is a real piece of engineering, making your Watch even more comfortable to wear.
