The Fleux FLX002 Watch ($499), winner of the prestigious 2023 Good Design® Award, is a tribute to both timeless design and contemporary sustainability. With limited quantities remaining, this model is destined to become a coveted collector’s piece. The FLX002 masterfully balances retro aesthetics with modern sensibilities, blending the archetypal skin diver case with an updated, streamlined silhouette.
The case of the FLX002 pays homage to classic 1970s tool watches, yet has been refined to perfection. Its downward-curving lugs hug the wrist, offering exceptional comfort, while the combination of circular brushing and polished chamfers creates a versatile finish. The FLX002 is equally at home on an underwater dive or at the office—a seamless marriage of tool watch ruggedness with dress watch sophistication. Its 14mm case thickness and 47mm lug-to-lug length, complemented by a hesalite double-domed crystal, strike an ideal balance between vintage charm and modern comfort.
The California dial of the FLX002 stands as a testament to classic design. Featuring a mix of Roman and Arabic numerals, this style, originally introduced in the 1930s, enhances visibility and offers an effortless reading experience. The Super-Luminova C3 “Old Radium” lume adds to the watch’s nostalgic appeal, providing visibility in low light while evoking the warmth of vintage timepieces. Beneath the dial, the reliable SII NH38A movement operates with 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a 41-hour power reserve, ensuring dependable precision for every adventure.
Continuing Fleux’s commitment to sustainability, the FLX002 comes equipped with a strap crafted from SEAQUAL, a recycled ocean plastic material. The soft, water-resistant nubuck lining ensures comfort throughout the day, while the quick-release spring bars make swapping straps a breeze. Although the strap is water-resistant, Fleux recommends keeping it out of the water during your more adventurous swims and dives.
A stylish Saffiano leather (PU) flat-pack travel watch box accompanies the FLX002, making it the perfect companion for those on the go. With its bi-directional friction-fit bezel and aluminium insert, this watch captures the adventurous spirit of vintage skin divers while bringing a fresh modern twist.
With its striking design, award-winning craftsmanship, and sustainable ethos, the Fleux FLX002 is not just a watch; it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of horological artistry—one that will never be reproduced. Secure yours today before they are gone forever.
