Matka oblohy
The Mother-of-Sky dial exudes celestial elegance. It is crafted from a single piece of the inner layer of a Pinctada maxima shell. A thin layer of lacquer is applied to the underside of the dial to achieve a delicate sky-blue hue. The typical Essence horizontal lines with perfectly sharp edges are created on its surface using high-precision machining.
Despite its reputation as a fragile material, mother-of-pearl is one of the most durable natural "armours" – it is the same material from which pearls are formed. Its luminous, iridescent, and pearlescent effect is fully revealed when light strikes it.
Rose gold accents underline the calm and harmonious character of the watch. Due to the natural origin of the material, each dial is unique. The date at the 6 o'clock position is colour-matched, and the faceted indices and hands complement the hand-polished facets.
COSC Chronometer Certified Performance
When it comes to timekeeping accuracy, the gold standard is the COSC Chronometer certification. The Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC) is the official Swiss chronometer testing institute, an independent body that certifies the precision and reliability of Swiss Made watches. The "Chronometer" designation can only be obtained for movements of the highest quality that successfully pass a rigorous 15-day series of tests. This means that the given caliber achieves the highest standards of mechanical reliability and accuracy.
Formex watches are powered by COSC Chronometer certified movements, ensuring the highest level of precision and performance in Swiss watchmaking. Only approximately 6% of all watches produced in Switzerland receive this prestigious designation, making them among the most accurate and reliable mechanical timepieces in the world.
