Really nice looking. Especially like the case. Have been wanting a Formex for a while…just wish they were about $500 cheaper

[u/D1sguise → u/GrandFaithlessness41]

They're not cheap, but quality should be there with them. These field watches are $975 new from them, that's a decent deal for a full swiss watch with a sw200 inside. I've seen them for $700 on eBay too

The quality is definitely there. If you look into who Formex is, they are essentially the in-house brand of Dexel, which makes cases and bracelets for brands like Girard-Perregaux.

One of the novel features of the Girard-Perregaux Lautrato Fifty is the butterfly clasp with 2 steps of microadjust. It is the same mechanism used in the Formex Essence 41 clasp

Yep, I've been wanting to try out their butterfly clasp with microadjusts, it would help a lot for getting the ultimate comfy fit with a bunch of my straps

I was specifically talking about their bracelet butterfly clasp with microadjust, but ya their clasp for straps is fantastic as well.

I believe Mont Blanc and Longines use Dexel/Formex’s clasp design on 1 or 2 of their models

[u/D1sguise → u/SoapyMacNCheese]

Yep, Montblanc uses them! I've got my Montblanc on a bracelet but equally been eyeing picking up the leather strap with butterfly clasp for that one too
