Ressence has introduced the TYPE 8 S, which dresses its hours-and-minutes TYPE 8 in a matt metallic sage green dial.
Ressence shows the time through its patented Ressence Orbital Convex System, ROCS 8. The case is 42.9mm across and made of polished and satinated grade 5 titanium, in a sandwich architecture under domed sapphire crystals. It is 11mm thick.
The convex dial is grade 5 titanium and runs on a jewel ball bearing. Eccentric satellites roll on jewel ball-bearings inclined at 9.75°. The engraved indications are filled with Super-LumiNova.
There is no crown at all. The watch is driven by the minute axle of a customised and reinforced 2892/2 base calibre, with 20 gears and 4 ball bearings. It is wound and set through the case back, turning in two directions, and holds 36 hours of power reserve. It comes on a grey leather strap with a polished titanium ardillon buckle.
