Why the Ressence Type 3 Stands Apart

Introduced in 2013, the Ressence Type 3 was the first mechanical watch with a fully oil-filled dial, creating an ethereal, "wandering dial" experience that appears to hover above the crystal. As part of Ressence's innovative pivot toward liquid-immersed design, the Type 3 continues the brand's tradition of blending minimalist form and advanced mechanics.

Signature Features and Models

Type 3 EE (Earth Edition) - Deep green dial with contrasting rotating discs, framed in polished titanium.
Type 3.6B Black Edition - Monochrome black-on-black version with DLC-coated titanium case.

All Type 3 variants incorporate Ressence's signature orbital convex system: time is displayed through rotating discs that glide in fluids, powered by a patented Ressence Orbital Convex System (ROCS) movement.
