About this watch

Limited to just 100 pieces per year, this Special Edition features a captivating green dial which is made from the precious stone malachite. The name is said to derive from the Ancient Greek word malache, which means mallow, as the stone closely resembles the color of the leaves of the mallow plant. Malachites spiritual meaning is one of transformation and is said to be the Essence of Joy. Without going too deep into its metaphysical properties, we feel that by just looking at the malachites swirls, rings and intricate marbling is rejuvenating and uplifting.

Movement

The Essence ThirtyNine is powered by Sellita’s highest quality grade SW200-1 Swiss Made Automatic movement, beautifully decorated and wound by Formex’s custom skeletonized rotor. Each one of these movements is certified by the COSC and undergoes the meticulous 15-day rate test to ensure extraordinary levels of mechanical accuracy and precision.

Dial

The distinctive, patterned coloration, in various shades and swirls from light green to almost black make every single dial a unique piece, non-identical to any other. Just like the other variations of the Essence lineup, the new dial is explicitly unisex. While looking at the dial for too long might feel hypnotic, a quick glance is enough to easily read time. Applied indices, deep-filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9 and mirror-polished bevels provide legibility day and night.

Straps and Clasps

The stainless steel bracelet, which reflects the same flawless finishing of the Essence’s case, has a hidden Micro-Extension. In addition, the steel bracelet can be changed without the use of any tools and in just a few seconds.
