The new Ressence Type 3 BB2 is the latest marvel from the Belgian brand, known for blending minimalist design with cutting-edge technology. This timepiece stands out with its nearly monochrome aesthetic, featuring a matte black mid-case treated with DLC and a dial that almost appears digital.
The watch’s standout feature is its oil-filled dial, which enhances readability from all angles, making the hands and indices appear to float effortlessly. The Grade 5 titanium mid-case is framed by domed sapphire crystals, giving the watch a sleek, futuristic profile that’s as durable as it is striking.
Powered by a highly modified ETA 2824-2 movement, the Ressence Type 3 BB2 drives its unique Orbital Convex System (ROCS) 3.5 display, allowing for a fluid, constantly moving readout of hours, minutes, seconds, day, date, and even oil temperature. The oil-filled chamber features a self-equilibrating pressure-balance system, while a magnetic transmission ensures the mechanics remain unaffected by the oil.
The dial’s clean, minimalist design—accented with Super-LumiNova for night-time visibility—eliminates unnecessary details and focuses on essential timekeeping elements. A black synthetic honeycomb strap with a matte black DLC buckle completes the look, perfectly matching the watch’s understated yet high-tech vibe.
The Ressence Type 3 BB2 isn’t just a watch; it’s a wearable piece of engineering brilliance that stands out in any collection. Priced at $44,900, it’s an investment in style and innovation.
