The Formex Field Automatic Gen 2 isn’t just another field watch—it’s a bold evolution of a modern classic. Housed in a 40mm case crafted from Grade 2 titanium, this rugged timepiece brings the muscle while staying featherlight on your wrist. Formex’s proprietary hardening treatment takes the surface hardness from 145 to a jaw-dropping 900 Vickers, giving it a durability that can shrug off the daily grind—or a weekend in the wild.
The Formex Gen 2 comes alive in three stunning dial options: Ice Blue, Coho Salmon, and Basalt Grey. A dual-layer design adds visual depth, combining a sunburst-finished center with a sloped chapter ring and recessed stencil numerals that glow brilliantly thanks to color-matched Super-LumiNova®. Even the beveled date window is executed with seamless finesse, making this a study in form that meets function.
Inside, a Swiss automatic movement hums with precision, while the 150m water resistance keeps it adventure-ready. Whether you choose a Velcro strap for tactical utility or a leather band with Formex’s carbon deployant clasp (featuring an on-the-fly 7mm micro-adjustment), you’ll have a watch ready to flex wherever life takes you.
For under a grand, the Field Automatic Gen 2 punches way above its weight in style, specs, and staying power.
