The TYPE 1 Round Rose Gold distils Ressence’s crownless philosophy into a warmer and more emotive form. Its plated 4N rose gold dial brings a soft, coppery glow that plays beautifully with the brand’s signature orbital display. Three gently inclined discs for hours, seconds, and day rotate in seamless harmony, all powered by the patented ROCS 1.3 module atop a customised 2892. It is a study in complexity made instinctive, a hallmark that has defined the TYPE 1 family since its debut.
A sunray dial, sandblasted case ring, guilloche discs and crisp white markers add texture without tipping into ornamentation. Paired with a light grey suede strap or an exclusive chocolate brown leather strap for the US, the watch maintains a contemporary restraint that lets the rose gold speak. Limited to just 70 pieces and made in Switzerland, it strikes a confident balance between refinement and approachability.
Founder Benoît Mintiens frames the piece as an evolution in warmth and character, a subtle shift in palette that adds soul while staying true to the TYPE 1’s essentialist roots.
