Introducing Ressence Unveils the Type 9 ARM “Scattering Sun”

Ressence has carved out a distinctive identity in watchmaking through its Orbital Convex System, a patented mechanism that replaces traditional hands with rotating discs orbiting in harmony. This innovation has defined creations such as the Type 9, Type 7, and Type 8. In its latest release, the brand collaborates with The Armoury, a Hong Kong, and New York, based menswear house celebrated for its artisanal tailoring and timeless elegance, to present the Type 9 ARM “Scattering Sun” featuring a classic fluted bezel.

The case is crafted from Grade 5 titanium, measuring a compact 39mm in diameter, 11mm in thickness, and weighing only 39 grams. Its most striking element is the polished fluted titanium bezel, a refined detail that lends the watch a more classical presence. Staying true to Ressence’s philosophy of eliminating the crown, the caseback is used for both winding and setting the time.

The sandblasted titanium dial is treated with a salmon PVD coating, a hue with deep roots in traditional watchmaking that has seen a resurgence in recent years. The domed display indicates the minutes on the periphery and the hours on a smaller subdial framed by a brushed copper-toned chapter ring. White baton markers and shorter decorative indices encircle the dial, while green Super-LumiNova coats the engraved indications, bezel markers, and hands, ensuring excellent legibility in all conditions.

Powering the watch is the ROCS 9 system, driven by the minute axle of a customized automatic calibre based on the ETA 2892/2. Operating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), it delivers a 36-hour power reserve. The entire dial rotates once per hour, while the hour disc completes a twelve-hour cycle, creating a poetic and ever-changing display of time.

The watch is paired with a chocolate suede strap secured by a titanium ardillon buckle. Limited to just 20 pieces, the Type 9 ARM “Scattering Sun” is priced at USD 19,000, approximately AED 69,800.
