The TYPE 1 Round Rose Gold brings a new warmth to the Ressence aesthetic: an essential, intuitive, and luminous watch, whose rose gold perfectly highlights the mechanical poetry of the ROCS system.
The warm elegance of essential design
The Ressence TYPE 1 Round Rose Gold reinterprets the iconic minimalist aesthetic of the TYPE 1° in a limited edition enhanced by the depth and warmth of rose gold. Presented exclusively at Dubai Watch Week 2025, this new model elegantly combines watchmaking innovation, sleek design, and contemporary refinement.
A first in rose gold for Ressence
With this limited edition of 70 pieces, Ressence introduces a rose gold version of its famous TYPE 1° for the first time. “Rose gold brings a special warmth and unique character to our aesthetic language,” explains Benoît Mintiens, founder of the Antwerp-based brand. Since 2014, the TYPE 1 has undergone several evolutions, while retaining what makes it so successful: an accessible, atypical watch that is neither ostentatious nor discreet, but resolutely unique.
This rose gold edition reinforces this character by combining:
- a sunray-finished dial,
- a sandblasted bezel and case,
- and guilloché discs, offering visual depth and a new emotional dimension, without ever betraying the minimalist essence of the model.
A pure aesthetic designed for everyday wear
The TYPE 1 Round Rose Gold stands out with its organic, crownless design, created to offer an intuitive experience. The convex dial, plated in 4N rose gold, diffuses a warm and elegant light. Three inclined discs display:
- the hours,
- the seconds,
- the day of the week, with engraved indications filled with Super-LumiNova® Grade A for optimal readability.
At the heart of this creation is the ROCS 1.3 (Ressence Orbital Convex System), a patented module that replaces traditional hands with rotating discs. Driven by the minute axis of a customized 2892 caliber, it allows for a two-dimensional, intuitive, and unique way of reading time, exclusive to Ressence.
A subtle interplay of warmth and contrast
The coppery hue of the rose gold dial is enhanced by:
- silver subdials providing clarity and contrast,
- white markers ensuring perfect readability,
- a light gray suede strap, designed to modernize the composition and emphasize the warmth of the dial.
