What to know

The Type 1 Round M gives Ressence’s usually restrained orbital display a brighter vocabulary. Green identifies the hours, yellow the seconds and red the weekday, set within a blue minute track and light-grey background. All the indications share the same curved visual plane as they rotate.

The 42.7mm titanium case uses a double-domed sapphire crystal and a rotating caseback for winding and setting. A customised automatic ETA 2892 drives the ROCS 1.3 module, with a 36-hour reserve. Announced in November 2023, this multicolour version follows the earlier black and blue Round models. It is splash-resistant rather than intended as a dive watch.
