Formex Airfield - The Embodiment of Swiss Craftsmanship and Aviation Precision

Published: 24 Sep 2026
Swiss watchmaker Formex revisits its well-loved timepiece collection with an aeronautical twist. The result is the Formex AirField - a seamless blend of tradition, innovation, and adventure.

The Formex AirField watch is a soaring new addition to the field of aviation-inspired timepieces. Known for their ability to adapt, Formex again proves its versatility with this reliable merger of two beloved watch designs. From the brand’s Swiss workshop comes a new release that showcases the classic charm of field models, coupled with the revised dials and hands of modern pilots’ watches.

The grain-textured dial surface contributes to the watch’s utilitarian finesse and is accentuated by a sloped chapter ring, a beveled date window at 6 o’clock, and recessed Arabic numeral hour markers filled with Grade A Super-LumiNova. The choice of traditional pilot-style hands, including a seconds hand with an airplane-shaped counterweight, ends up adding an authentic appeal to the overall design. Colour options for the dial include Desert Sand, Horizon Blue, Jet Black, and Tarmac Grey, with a choice of either wrap-around velcro strap or a leather strap with Formex’s carbon fiber micro-adjustment deployant clasp.

The Sellita Caliber SW200-2 Power+ automatic movement facilitates smooth operations at a 4 Hz rate with an impressive 65-hour power reserve. The reformatted animated silhouette is almost 40mm in diameter, and 10.5mm in thickness, accompanied by a 20mm lug width. It also offers a splendid water resistance of up to 150 meters, perfect for those seeking adventure. With the Formex AirField, the Swiss brand has yet again constructed a paragon that promises top-tier horological sophistication, appealing to both the aviator and the adventurer in you.
