The Formex Essence 39 Space Ghost is an exceptional Swiss mechanical watch that blends COSC-certified horological precision , unique design, and a material from space . Its dial is carved from a genuine Muonionalusta meteorite over 4.5 billion years old , offering a texture naturally sculpted by time and incomparable from one piece to another.
At PAUSE Montres , official Formex reseller in Toulouse, this model is a rare piece that appeals to lovers of sporty-chic mechanical watches and enthusiasts of certified calibers.
A watch with a meteorite dial: space on your wrist
The most striking feature of the Formex Essence 39 Space Ghost is its Muonionalusta meteorite dial . This cosmic rock formed in the heart of an asteroid more than 4.5 billion years ago, then struck Earth about a million years ago, leaving behind a unique texture called the Widmanstätten pattern .
Formex and Cadranor - Swiss dial specialist - have developed a rhodium galvanic treatment to stabilize this natural material while accentuating its silvery shine, without masking its raw structure. This spectral dial, contrasted by blue hands and indices , gives each watch its own unique personality.
A COSC-certified chronometer movement
Beneath this exceptional dial, the Space Ghost 39 mm is powered by a Swiss automatic Sellita SW200-1 chronometer-grade movement , certified by the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute) after a 15-day precision test.
Formex equipped it with an in-house developed, decorated, and personalized skeletonized rotor that showcases the brand's mechanical expertise. Despite its unique aesthetic, this watch is not merely a beautiful object: it meets the most stringent technical requirements for chronometric precision.
A case and construction designed for everyday comfort
The Formex Essence 39 Space Ghost features a 39mm stainless steel case , a very versatile size that suits most wrists. The design incorporates Formex’s famous Case Suspension System patented by Formex, a spring system that absorbs shocks for better impact resistance during everyday movements.
Formex has also equipped this piece with a screw-down crown , anti-reflective sapphire crystal on the front and back faces, and water resistance of 100 m (10 bar) - a level suitable for an active life, from the office to leisure.
The watch comes with several strap options (steel, leather, textile or rubber), all featuring a tool-free quick-change system and a micro-adjustable carbon fiber composite folding clasp , for a precise and comfortable fit on any wrist.
A rare piece that combines material, mechanics and comfort
Production of the Essence 39 Space Ghost is limited to 200 pieces , creating a real rarity in an already highly sought-after watch. After its successful launch in a 41mm version that sold out in under 72 hours, this 39mm version retains all the same qualities while adopting a more universal case design and even greater comfort thanks to the crown integrated into the case suspension. This 39mm Space Ghost sold out just as quickly as its 41mm counterpart, and Formex is currently out of stock.
Fortunately, we have one last model available, as an official Formex reseller. At PAUSE Watches in Toulouse , we stock the models available for sale, with in-store demonstrations and remote assistance. We also manage after-sales service in collaboration with Formex.
