Formex adds the Essence Ceramica Dark Matter Redshift to its Essence sports watch line, built on the brand's Ceramica platform with a proprietary case suspension system. The 41mm case, bracelet and clasp are made from black zirconium oxide ceramic. The Muonionalusta meteorite dial has a black-gold galvanic treatment with red accents. The watch uses the Sellita SW200-2 Power+ automatic movement and is COSC certified. The Redshift is limited to 100 pieces annually, with each piece individually numbered in the first year of production.

  • The retail price of $4,450 is well below full ceramic sports watches from Zenith and others
