FORMEX: Grand Prix GP 997
Posted by Joe Vangieri on 28th May 2008
FORMEX watches represent a perfect blend of speed and technology. Extremely strong and durable thanks to a titanium and stainless steel case. Extremely comfortable to wear thanks to a patented suspension and shock absorbing system. With a precise Swiss movement. In short: a chronograph which not only counts seconds, minutes and hours, but also stands out by its uniqueness in functionality and design. “FORMEX 4 SPEED” – the formula for outstanding feature and precision.
In an attempt to get ever greater performance, aircraft and racing cars designers were the first to discover the remarkable characteristics of titanium alloy and to use it for parts which required a combination of high strength and light weight. Now, having proven itself in high-performance aircrafts and racing cars, it is now a key element of high-performance watches. An emblematic design and cutting-edge technology characterise this exceptional timepiece designed for racing car enthusiasts. The angled case with its winding-mechanism at 12 o’clock provides matchless legibility, while the pierced dial offers a magnificent view of the Grand Prix movement.
