Discover the all-new Type 8 watch by Ressence – a bold representation of modernity, minimalism, and elegance. This timepiece embodies a dynamic and youthful vision of 21st-century fine watchmaking, reflecting the brand’s contemporary approach rooted in originality, accessibility, and innovation.

As the sixth distinctive addition to the Ressence watch family, the Type 8 maintains the brand’s commitment to functional relevance. Its design revolves around clarity, simplicity, and ergonomics, staying true to Ressence’s mission of revolutionizing the world of fine watchmaking. Additionally, for a select group of early purchasers, the Type 8 comes with an exclusive NFT artwork.

In terms of pricing, the Type 8 marks a new entry-level offering from Ressence, enabling a broader audience to embrace their core collection.

Lightness Redefined for the Future

The Type 8 boasts a hyper-modern, sleek case with a remarkably minimalist and slender profile, setting it apart as the most understated creation in the Ressence lineup. Meticulously crafted from grade five titanium, the 42.9mm case contributes to an incredibly lightweight timepiece, weighing a mere 42 grams, including the strap. Despite its feathery weight, the watch maintains exceptional rigidity and strength, thanks to titanium’s high specific strength and the unique egg-shell shape of the timepiece.

Featuring a sandwich-style construction with a two-tone finish, the tapered case showcases a harmonious blend of polished and satin textures. The absence of visible lugs creates an integrated case volume, where the strap seamlessly emerges as if growing organically.

Universal Design for the Future

Remaining true to Ressence’s philosophy of ergonomic utility, the Type 8 does away with the traditional visible crown, eliminating any distinction between left- and right-handed wearers. Instead, the titanium case back takes on the role of time-setting, as its rotation not only adjusts the time but also winds the mechanical movement. With its ambidextrous design, streamlined shape, and lightweight construction, the Type 8 ensures a comfortable experience on any wrist.

Clarity Illuminated for the Future

The Type 8 C epitomizes simplicity in terms of timekeeping indications, representing the most pared-down watch ever produced by Ressence. Stripped to its essence, the cobalt blue dial reveals only the hours and minutes, devoid of text or numbers. Crisp white baton markers provide optimal clarity, with the Ressence logo at 12 o’clock on the hours subdial serving as the sole additional detail. The hands and hour and minute scales feature blue SuperLuminova, ensuring excellent legibility in low-light conditions.

Following Ressence’s unconventional approach, the main dial, a domed piece of titanium, rotates to indicate the minutes. Adjacent to it on the same plane, a smaller dial rotates to indicate the hours. This ever-changing dial configuration presents an intuitive at-a-glance display, legible from any angle.

Embrace Mechanical Ingenuity for the Future

The rotating dial showcases Ressence’s patented mechanical brilliance known as the ROCS (Ressence Orbital Convex System). This innovative system employs a series of jewel ball bearings, ensuring a long-lasting and oil-free operation. In the Type 8 C, the ROCS module, designated as ROCS-8, represents just one of Ressence’s groundbreaking innovations that exemplify their commitment to ushering in a new era for traditional mechanical watchmaking. Powering the Type 8 C is a customized and reinforced traditional mechanical automatic movement based on an ETA calibre 2892/2, offering a 36-hour power reserve.
