The TYPE 3 BB2 is the latest black edition of Ressence‘s acclaimed TYPE 3 series, a watch that recently earned the 2024 “Best of the Best” Red Dot Design Award. This new model heightens the hyper-minimal aesthetics with a distinctive edge-to-edge sapphire crystal, creating the illusion of a sleek, dark pebble on the wrist. Drawing from the 2022 TYPE 3 BBB, the BB2 adds vibrant primary color accents for weekends and oil temperature readings.
As the first oil-filled mechanical watch, the TYPE 3 BB2 offers unparalleled legibility from any angle, with no refraction or distortion, giving the sensation of touching time itself. The patented ROCS 3.5 mechanism, a marvel of horological engineering, drives the watch’s unique rotating discs, which appear to float under the crystal-clear display.
The TYPE 3 BB2 embodies the Japanese concept of “Shibui,” where simplicity meets complexity, making it a true masterpiece of minimalist design.
