One Month in Sicily With the NEW Formex Essence 39 Black Pearl — Is It Really That Good

I spent a month in Sicily with the Formex Essence 39 Black Pearl — taking it from the beach to the mountains and putting it through real holiday life rather than simply wearing it for a few days. In this in-depth review, I’m sharing what it’s actually like to live with the Essence 39 over an extended period: the Black Pearl dial, comfort, finishing, bracelet and micro-adjustment, proportions, movement, and how it works as an everyday watch. But there’s more to the story. Formex has just released three new Essence 39 models, bringing the updates first introduced with the Black Pearl into the regular collection.
