As its name suggests – leggera is Italian for “lightweight–” the Formex Essence Leggera has its entrance in a notably light case made of carbon fiber composite, endowed with a crown and bezel crafted from Zirconium Oxide ceramic. Produced in-house, this composite, according to Formex, is particularly resistant and made-to-last.
