Sellita
Sellita's flagship automatic movement and the most widely used Swiss automatic caliber in production today, having filled the supply gap created by ETA's restrictions on third-party sales. A functional clone of the ETA 2824-2, it is dimensionally identical and shares the same parts compatibility. Available in multiple grades from Standard to Top, the SW200-1 powers watches from dozens of Swiss and international brands.

The community take
Owners talk.
Owners widely praise the Formex Essence Fortythree for its comfortable wearability, excellent finishing for its price point, and a dial that plays well with light, with one owner noting the blue dial's variable appearance. The bracelet's micro-adjust system is functional, and the leather strap and deployant are considered exceptional. Reviewers highlight the watch's legible design and slim 10mm case, noting its significant value under $1,300. Some find the dial design derivative and the hardware-style logo out of place, while others consider the white dial stark. Consumer confusion exists regarding COSC versus non-COSC movement options. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Formex Essence Fortythree highly for its luxury-level finishing and comfortable, value-driven design.
