Published: 24 Sep 2026
Experience the evolution of a timepiece with Formex, as their acclaimed titanium field watch morphs into the spectacular AirField pilots' model.

With a rich legacy in creating purpose-built timepieces, Swiss brand Formex has pioneered an innovative release for 2026, by ingeniously transforming the renowned titanium field watch into the alluring AirField pilots’ watch. Distinguished by a fresh take on the dial and hands, this ingenious piece strikes an enticing balance between the depth of a field watch and the audacious flair of a pilot’s model.

Sharing identical external specifications with the beloved Field Automatic 40mm models, the Formex AirField showcases a case masterfully crafted from sandblasted grade 2 titanium with a 900Hv hardened surface coating. Retaining the same 40mm diameter, 10.5mm thickness, 20mm lug width, and a 48mm lug-to-lug profile, this mesmerizing piece proudly continues the tradition of offering a coveted measure of durability and water resistance unwavering just above a substantial depth of 150 meters.

The AirField also features the updated Sellita SW200-2 Power+ automatic movement. This novel element has already made its appealing presence felt in other Formex models such as the new Essence 39mm Automatic COSC. Although the version isn’t chronometer-certified like its counterparts, it guarantees greater duration of autonomy, operating at 4Hz with a substantial 65-hour power reserve.

The Formex AirField effortlessly plays with captivating color options. From Desert Sand to Horizon Blue, Jet Black, and Tarmac Grey, every color tells a captivating story punctuated by Super-LumiNova filled hour markers. With a price tag of $1060 USD with Nylon/Velcro strap to $1200 USD with a leather strap, this non-limited release is now available and promises to elevate wardrobes everywhere while keeping admirably precise time.
