The Stratos represents Formex’s vision of a modern Pilot watch. The standout feature is its unique approach to true GMT functionality, which is managed not through the crown but via pushers on the case side. These pushers allow the local hour hand to jump forward or backwards, in one-hour increments with a simple press, all without stopping the balance or having to remove the watch from the wrist.
This complication is an intuitive solution for travellers; eliminating the need for the process of unscrewing, adjusting, and res-crewing the crown. Additionally, the Stratos includes a quick-set date function, decoupled from the main crown, and features a day/night indicator to maintain clarity on time-related context. This combination of advanced functionality and user-centric design underscores Formex's commitment to delivering sophisticated, practical solutions for the modern traveller and aviator.
Built in a hand-finished and multi-layered stainless-steel case with brushed surfaces, mirror-polished bevels and sand-blasted cutouts, the watch incorporates specialized features designed for enhanced comfort and daily wearability.
Stainless steel bracelet with screwed links and stainless-steel buckle with patented 4 mm micro extension. A Formex-branded jeweller's screwdriver is included in the package along with additional links for further adjustments if needed.
Multi-leveled and multi-finished with brushed chapter ring indicating the UTC time zone, a grain textured outer ring with a small-second date display at 6 o’clock, and a sunburst-finished central section with applied logo at 12 and day/night indicator at 9 o’clock.
An Automatic, also called self-winding watch, is a mechanical watch in which the mainspring is wound automatically as a result of the natural motion of the wearer's arm, to provide energy to run the watch, making manual winding unnecessary. All our Automatic movements are manufactured in Switzerland.
This 48-click bezel can be turned both clock- and counterclockwise. Since it is marked with a 24-hour scale, the bezel can be used to display a third timezone.
A screw-down crown is a threaded winding crown that screws tightly into the case and prevents water and dust from entering. Screw-down crowns are commonly used in Diver’s watches, as they prevent from accidentally pushing open the crown, causing possible water damage.

Applying AR coating will limit the reflection on a sapphire or mineral glass to a very low level.
Water resistance measures how much water pressure a watch can handle before it breaks. This measurement is important to know for the proper care and keeping of your watch. Water resistance of 100 m / 330 ft means that it can be used for swimming, snorkelling, and similar activities.
This watch features an ultra-strong and light-weight folding clasp, made of carbon fibre composite and a stainless steel or titanium buckle. The gradual fine adjustment system allows you to tighten or loosen the strap length when the wrist size varies due to temperature and activity.
All straps and bracelets can be interchanged by hand without the use of any tools and in a few mere seconds. This allows you to easily swap straps on the go and wear your personal style for any occasion.
