Out of Order has unveiled the Forma Trenta Flip Noir, a unique timepiece that reinterprets the elegance and mechanical innovations of 1930s watchmaking. The third creation in the Forma collection, this model boasts a reversible case, black guilloché dial, and Miyota 9039 automatic movement. With its patented reversible mechanism, the Forma Trenta Flip Noir combines historical inspiration with modern design.
The Forma Trenta Flip Noir features a rectangular stainless steel 316L case, measuring 30mm in width and 47mm in length, with a 9.40mm thickness and 77-gram weight. The reversible mechanism allows the case to be flipped, echoing the pivotable watches popularized in the 1930s. The watch is paired with a black-laquered, knurled crown made of stainless steel 316L, adorned with a relief logo.
The watch's aesthetic identity relies on a black guilloché dial, which adds texture and depth to the surface. The applied indexes have a polished finish, contrasting with the dial's depth. The hour, minute, and second hands share this finish, ensuring visual coherence. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, renowned for its scratch resistance. This blend of guillochage, polished elements, and sapphire crystal embeds the watch in a classic aesthetic.
Powering the Forma Trenta Flip Noir is the Miyota 9039 automatic movement, a Japanese caliber operating at 28,800 alternations per hour. This movement has a 42-hour power reserve and an automatic winding system that leverages wrist movements to power the mainspring. A manual winding option is also available. Notably, the Miyota 9039 has no date display, aligning with the watch's three-hand display.
The Forma Trenta Flip Noir comes with a vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, made in Italy, and secured with a 316L stainless steel deployant buckle. The watch has a 5 ATM water resistance, suitable for everyday use and splashes, but not for diving. The caseback, held by four screws, features a sapphire crystal allowing the wearer to observe the mechanical movement.
Out of Order positions the Forma Trenta Flip Noir in the mid-range mechanical watch segment, with a price tag of €1,150. However, details on availability, stock, and potential limited edition status are yet to be confirmed. This watch underscores Out of Order's commitment to offering a personal take on horological history.
