In advance of Watches and Wonders 2023, Ressence has unveiled the latest version of the brand's slim and lightweight Type 8 and this new iteration offers its own flavor via a sage green dial. The Type 8 launched around this time last year with the original cobalt blue model and the new Type 8 S ("s" is for sage) expands the lineup with a new colorway.
Sizing though, remains the same, with the Type 8 S rocking a 42.9mm wide titanium case that is just 11mm thick and weighs in at only 42 grams. The case offers a mix of polished and satin finishing and comes fitted with a great leather strap with a titanium buckle.
Inside that spaceship-like design, is the Type 8's core movement, the ROCS-8, which uses a pair of rotating discs to indicate the hours and minutes in a manner that prevents the "hands" (which are actually lume-filled engravings) from overlapping. The automatic movement is set and wound by rotating the caseback and offers 36 hours of power reserve and ticks at 4 Hz.
Pricing for the Ressence Type 8 S is set at CHF 12,500.
While I remain a self-described Type 5 kind of fella, we are huge fans of Ressence (we even carry them in the shop) and the boldly futuristic Type 8 is a great home for this new sage green coloring.
Danny covered the original Cobalt Blue Type 8 about a year ago and came away very impressed by its weightless appeal, strong aesthetic elements, and welcome application of lume.
While the color is new, the watch still represents the entry point to the unique world of Ressence, and I can't wait to see the Type 8 in person (not to mention whatever else Ressence releases over the coming days) at Watches and Wonders 2023. Stay tuned for a whole lot more.
