RESSENCE TYPE 3 EE (Eucalyptus)

Ressence TYPE 3 EE The new TYPE 3 EE brings green hues to Ressence's heroic watch.

The oil-filled Ressence TYPE 3 welcomes a stunning eucalyptus-green design to its main range. Forward-thinking, highly legible, and now refreshingly colorful, the TYPE 3 EE seduces at first glance.

TYPE 3 EE adds statement color to a statement watch. With its cool undertones, this soft green hue gives the award-winning TYPE 3 an unconventional feel, evocative of lush forests and outdoor living.

“It wouldn’t be the year of color for Ressence without the introduction of a new shade to the TYPE 3 range,” says Benoît Mintiens, Founder of Ressence. “This new TYPE 3 Eucalyptus Green is truly reminiscent of a precious mineral. Holding and wearing a Ressence has never been so close to the serene feel of the smooth surface of a polished stone.”

Beyond the new color, the TYPE 3 EE introduces new details. The hour disc has been graphically simplified, with hour markers every two hours. Weekend days and oil temperature indications feature new pastel tones.

The new Eucalyptus Green watch perfectly complements the existing TYPE 3 Black and White watches and will be available worldwide from early October 2023, via Ressence’s network of official retailers.

The first oil-filled mechanical watch

When it was launched in 2013, the TYPE 3 surprised the watch industry by being the very first oil-filled mechanical watch. That same year, the prestigious GPHG awarded it the “Watchmaking Revelation” prize. Building on the inherent qualities of Ressence’s crownless case design, the edge-to-edge sapphire crystal found on the front and back of the avant-garde TYPE 3 resembles a perfectly smooth, natural-looking pebble, making it as satisfying in the hand as it is on the wrist.

Enhanced legibility

TYPE 3 engages with physics like no other watch has before. It cancels out the distortion caused by the refraction of light, ensuring exceptional legibility from every angle. The explanation lies in its upper chamber, which is flooded with 3.75 ml of oil, creating an enlarged projection effect that gives the illusion of information displayed directly on the glass. Thanks to this revolutionary technology, Ressence TYPE 3 offers a crystal-clear display that remains easy to read, whatever the lighting conditions, even in the dark. This is made possible not only by the oil-filled chamber, but also by filling all engraved indications with 100% grade A Super-LumiNova®.

Bellows system

While oil provides a clear, enlarged display, it is also sensitive to temperature variations. To compensate for the expansion or contraction of oil under varying thermal conditions, Ressence has developed an innovative, state-of-the-art bellows system. This is a pressure-balancing system that maintains uniform pressure and avoids any negative impact on performance. The bellows system is graphically represented by a temperature gauge on the dial, adding a unique and visually striking element to both the TYPE 3 and TYPE 5.

Mechanical efficiency

Another advantage of the oil-filled chamber is that all ROCS parts are constantly lubricated, resulting in very low friction. The relative weight of the ball bearings is also reduced, which in turn reduces the effort required of the movement.
