Housed in a 41 mm Grade 5 titanium case, the TYPE 7 is built for resilience without compromise. Lightweight yet durable, its case is sealed using the Ressence Compression Lock System (RCLS), enhancing water resistance while maintaining a sleek form factor. The fixed bezel, rendered in ceramic for the Night Blue and aluminium for the XV Aquamarine, ensures both aesthetic integrity and structural strength.

Dual domed sapphire crystals with internal anti-reflective coatings add to the perception of optical clarity, reinforcing the sense that time is projected directly onto the glass itself.

Ressence's hallmark oil-filled dial transforms the act of reading time into an experience. Devoid of distortion or refraction, the dial offers legibility from any angle, even in the most challenging lighting conditions. Eccentrically biaxial satellites, inclined at precise angles, create a multi-layered visual landscape.

Blue Grade A Super-LumiNova ensures visibility long after the sun has set. Integrated into the hour subdial, a colour-coded oil temperature gauge reveals the dynamic internal environment of the watch—another nod to Ressence’s attention to both performance and poetic detail.

At the heart of the TYPE 7 lies the patented ROCS 7 (Ressence Orbital Convex System), driven by a customised base calibre and separated from it by a Grade 5 titanium membrane. Information flows via a magnetic transmission system—a marvel of mechanical design that eliminates the crown and conventional hands, favouring instead a display that is fluid, responsive, and strikingly legible. The GMT function, a first for Ressence, is seamlessly integrated and offers a frictionless reading of dual time zones. It’s a feature made for today’s global citizen—quietly practical, and resolutely contemporary.

The integrated Grade 5 titanium bracelet, another first for Ressence, features a deployant clasp with five adjustable positions for a tailored fit. Alternatively, a leather or rubber strap is offered for those seeking material variety. Every detail—from material to ergonomics—serves to support comfort, durability, and the quiet pleasure of daily wear.

Ressence has long embraced the idea that watches are not just instruments, but vessels of vision. The TYPE 7 exemplifies this belief with clarity and conviction. Available from April 2025 onwards, it invites a new generation of collectors to engage with time—thoughtfully, precisely, and with purpose.
