Ressence Type 1ZZ Black Dial LIMITED

The Ressence Type 1 ZZ Black LIMITED is a 20-piece edition made with Chronopassion in 2018, offering a darker, more understated take on the brand's signature orbital display. Its matte black DLC-coated Grade 5 titanium case gives the watch a clean, monochrome look that suits Ressence's design language especially well. Inside is the automatic ROCS 1.3 module, built on a customized ETA 2892 base caliber. This system drives Ressence's patented rotating display, setting the entire dial in motion with a smooth, continuous effect. Instead of traditional hands, the Type 1 ZZ shows the hours, minutes, seconds, and day through orbiting indications, a layout that has become one of the brand's most recognizable signatures. The watch has Ressence's familiar crownless case and a slim, rounded profile that sits lightly on the wrist. At 42mm and made from titanium, it keeps the easy, pebble-like wearability that has defined the Type 1 from the start. The blacked-out finish gives this edition a more discreet presence and sets it apart within the early Type 1 lineup. Collectors are drawn to the Type 1 for both the engineering of the ROCS display and its unconventional look. Within that family, the Type 1 ZZ Black stands out for its rarity, coherence, and direct connection to Chronopassion. For buyers interested in independent watchmaking, unusual mechanical design, and real scarcity, it holds a distinct place in Ressence's catalog. Like New with Ressence box and papers dated 2021.
