TYPE 3 BLACK BLACK 2
Black on Black.
This redesigned Black Black edition offers a dark luxurious experience of reading time.
As the first-ever oil-filled mechanical watch, TYPE 3 is the most legible watch, from any angle. No refraction, no distortion, and the magnified projection effect creates the illusion of touching time itself.
The distinctive edge-to-edge, front and back, sapphire crystal of the TYPE 3 evokes a smooth pebble, making it as satisfying in the hand as on the wrist. Japanese have a term for objects that appear simple yet are remarkably complex: SHIBUI. This balance of simplicity and complexity is the essence of the TYPE 3. Composed of 376 meticulously assembled components, this watch embodies pure minimalism and quiet sophistication.
Adding oil to the upper chamber of a Ressence watch ensures crystal-clear readability of the dial and marvel for the eyes. But that's not the only benefit of oil. Displaying time is essential to a watch. That’s why every Ressence is designed for easy readability, regardless of lighting conditions, thanks to the extra strong Super-LumiNova® filling the engraved indications.
The patented ROCS 3 is driven by the minute axle of a customized self winding 2824/2 base calibre. Our "Ressence Orbital Convex System" is a state of the art horological complication module composed of 215 parts including the main and sub discs. The result is a dimensional dial entirely in motion and ever changing.

The future of reading time
A new language of time display
Ressence approaches watchmaking as an exercise in industrial design, where every component is developed around the principle of clarity and intuitive interaction. At the heart of each timepiece is the brand’s proprietary ROCS (Ressence Orbital Convex System), a patented module that replaces traditional hands with rotating discs mounted on a single, co-planar surface beneath a domed sapphire crystal. This creates a seamless, fluid reading of time, where all indications appear to move as part of one continuous system rather than separate mechanical layers.
The manufacturing process is defined by precision engineering and highly specialised components, combining Swiss horological expertise with contemporary design thinking. Each watch is assembled with a focus on integration, minimalism, and usability, resulting in a unified display that eliminates visual clutter and enhances legibility from any angle. Through this approach, Ressence delivers a distinctly modern interpretation of watchmaking—where form, function, and interaction are engineered as a single cohesive experience.
