The TYPE 1° M brings colour to Ressence's essential round watch, with a multicolour dial that keeps the brand's orbiting display.
Ressence has introduced the TYPE 1° M, listed on its website as the TYPE 1 Round Multicolour. It sits in a 42.7mm Grade 5 titanium case, 11mm thick.
The Ressence Orbital Convex System (ROCS) lets hours, minutes, seconds and days orbit each other. On the convex German silver dial, three eccentric satellites show the hours, the seconds and the day of the week, with engraved indications filled with Super-LumiNova.
The module is driven by the minute axle of a customised 2892 base calibre, and the watch is self-winding with a 36 hours power reserve. Ressence notes that each TYPE 1° Round comprises 212 components, assembled by its dedicated team of master watchmakers.
In quest of the purest expression of time, Ressence says, the TYPE 1° Round design aims to reaffirm the beauty of simple and sensual shapes. Its readability is meant to be as simple and efficient at night as by day.
