The TYPE 3 engages with physics like no watch before. The refraction of light as it moves from one substance to another - from air to sapphire crystal, for example - can distort perception. The TYPE 3 cancels this effect through its upper half being flooded with 35.7 ml of oil.
The result is a new sense of clarity and immediacy, more, thanks to reduced friction, greater performance efficiency too.
A new vision for fine watchmaking requires an original perspective and focused intent - that of industrial design. The TYPE 3 took years of meticulous research and development. It expresses both the tradition of watchmaking through its trailblazing patented ROCS - Ressence Orbital Convex System, and thanks to new micromechanical technologies such as a magnetic transmission, reinvents it.
INNOVATIONS FOLLOW FUNCTIONS
It is by re-imagining what and how watches can be, that the TYPE 3 embodies the most innovative yet of RESSENCE’s pioneering ideas based on applied science:
-An oil-filled upper half to allow legibility from every possible angle.
-A magnetic transmission to connect the dry lower half - where the calibre is located - to the oil-filled upper half - where the ROCS is located.
-Seven Bellows to compensate for oil volume changes due to temperature variations.

Rooted in industrial design, the TYPE 3 has been envisaged with the wearer in mind.
The accent has been put on the comfort on the wrist with a light crownless 44mm grade 5 titanium case sandwiched by anti-reflective sapphire glasses. The TYPE 3 weighs barely 79 grams.
We believe that displaying the time is essential to a watch. The readability of the TYPE 3 is therefore as simple and efficient during the day as during the night thanks to extra strong blue Superluminova.
We took away the crown - totem of more traditional watch thinking - by reengineering the entire sapphire case-back as the means of winding and setting the dial. It allows us a more streamlined look and feel.
TYPE 3 expresses all the curvaceous organicism of a pebble. It is as satisfying in the hand as it is on the wrist.
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 3 dimensional dial entirely in motion and ever changing.
