Why it is interesting

Long reserve, 100-metre water resistance and an adjustable ceramic bracelet give this model a solid everyday foundation.

Things to consider

100 pieces per year is a production cap, rather than a promise of a single 100-watch edition.

The model in detail

The October 16 release is the Essence Ceramica Dark Matter Redshift. Formex pairs a meteorite dial with a black ceramic case and bracelet. Its case suspension uses an inner titanium container, while the clasp provides 5 mm of bracelet adjustment.

The automatic Sellita SW200-2 Power+ is COSC-certified and offers a 65-hour reserve. The 41 mm case measures 11.2 mm thick. The brand plans production of 100 watches annually, with first preorder deliveries expected in late November 2026. The official price is CHF 3,500.
