The Type 3 is the first ever oil-filled mechanical watch. A true achievement in Fine Watchmaking, the Type 3 is designed with a “water drop” dial effect in order to achieve crystal clear dial legibility for the wearer. Because oil and glass share very similar responses to light refraction, the eye is tricked into momentarily losing its depth perception. The result is that the watch’s dial seems ever closer, vision of it apparently unimpeded by glass at all.

The creation of the Type 3 was not without its challenges. One such example was the escapement ability to oscillate properly in a viscous fluid. Ressence ingeniously designed a two-chamber system inside the Type 3 to keep the mechanical movement and oil separate. As such with the two-chamber system, there is no direct mechanical link between the watch’s movement and the ROCS. To accommodate this, the Type 3 uses a magnetic transmission to tie the modules together. In order to compensate for oil volume fluctuation (dependent on temperature), the watch is also fitted with a system of seven small bellows that expand and contract dependent on the increase and decrease of the oil’s volume.

The Type 5 is the first mechanical watch to be perfectly readable underwater regardless of the viewing angle. The use of oil inside the upper part of the watch cancels out what is known as Total Internal Reflection. Typically, when under the water, a traditional diver’s watch needs to be viewed straight on in order to be read properly – otherwise refraction turns the glass into a mirror. But not with the oil-filled Type 5: this gives it complete legibility whatever the angle of view.

The organic design of the Type 5 takes its inspiration from nature, specifically sea turtles.

Their distinct aqua-dynamic shape means they are best able to propel themselves easily through the water – so what better shape too for an amphibious watch, right down to its seamlessly integrated uni-directional bezel? The watch is made from titanium ensuring that it is also lightweight – just 87g – and extremely comfortable to wear.

The watch is graphically very strong -for improved readability -and is the ideal watch for the gentleman diver, whether he’s in the water or around town.

Ressence adds strokes of colour to the canvas of time with this new multicolour addition to the TYPE 1
Round collection, promising to infuse each day with a burst of energy. The contrasting, yet complementary, red, blue, yellow and green featured on the Hour, Minute, Second
and Weekday discs of the TYPE 1° M bring soft essential hues to the light grey dial and elegant
multicoloured magic to the watch owner’s wrist.

The TYPE 1° M is more than just a pretty face. It also boasts Ressence’s cutting-edge ROCS 1.3 (Ressence
Orbital Convex System) module, driven by the minute axle of a customised 2892 base calibre, featuring
revolving discs that display time in a bi-dimensional layout.

The Type 1 Slim is Ressence’s most stripped back watch to date. It differs distinctly from the rest of the collection in its visual balance of simplicity and complexity, one that ensures its aesthetic only continues to enrich over the years. The new organic and sharp at once case has been designed around the wrist. Not only it is slimmer (11mm thick) – compared to the previous generation – but also resolutely more modern with its seemingly integrated strap. Lugs and case are in fact milled in one action from the same grade 5 titanium block.

The Type 1 Slim is manually set via a lever on its case back. The watch has no crown, the winding and setting mechanism being the case-back itself, for better ergonomics and allowing a left-right fit. It is all tactile curves, the domed sapphire glass extending to the very edge of the case – making the watch more sapphire than metal for greater readability.

The Type 1 Squared is the dressier watch among the collection. Less “dematerialised” than the other models, the Type 1 Squared plays subtly with a few classic fine-watchmaking codes for a more assertive wrist presence. While remaining faithful to the signature dial of the brand the watch differs both in its case design and in its material. Born from the intersection of 6 spheres, it has a cushion shape case in polished stainless steel, with a satin finish back.

The watch has no crown, the winding and setting mechanism being the case-back itself, for better ergonomics and allowing a left-right fit. When setting the time, the rotation of the lever corresponds exactly to the movement of the discs on the dial in a ratio of 1 to 1. An up-to-date reminder of the key once used to wind clocks, watches and mechanical toys.

The Ressence Type 8 refines the starting principles of originality, accessibility, and innovation to their essence.The Type 8 has a hyper-modern, sleek case whose deceptively simple, lean silhouette is the most minimal of all Ressence creations. Crafted entirely from grade five titanium, the 42.9 mm case contributes to an extremely light overall weight of 42 grams only. Like all Ressence watches, the Type 8 is set and wind by turning its case back. The watch’s ambidextrous design, combined with its streamlined shape and light weight make for a comfortable experience on all wrists.

Playful, colourful, and streamlined, the Ressence Type 8 is designed for ergonomic comfort and maximum legibility. It is powered by a traditional automatic movement, reinforcing Ressence’s commitment to mechanical innovation. Ressence believe that displaying the time is essential to a watch. The readability of the Type 8 is therefore as simple and efficient during the night as during the day thanks to extra strong blue Superluminova.
