Benoît Mintiens' background in industrial design drives Ressence's technical innovation. Blending the iconic 'Type 1' design with the pebble-like 'Type 3', this sleek 'Round' model has been crafted in Switzerland from high-grade titanium and houses a complex Ressence Orbital Convex System (ROCS) movement that displays time in a bi-dimensional format with hours, minutes, seconds and days orbiting one another. It's fitted on an ivory rubber strap and can be worn comfortably on either wrist, thanks to the absence of crown. For warranty information, please refer to details & care

EXCLUSIVE AT MR PORTER. Mr Benoît Mintiens started out designing trains, aircraft cabins and medical devices before founding Ressence ; a house that's turning watchmaking tradition on its head. The 'Type 5' is its first diving reference and has an ergonomic shape inspired by sea turtles to allow for superb legibility underwater. The domed dial is split into two chambers, the top one is filled with oil to counteract light refraction so it can be viewed at any angle, and the liquid suspension also reduces friction between the moving parts, keeping it highly accurate; the lower is filled with air and houses the base calibre. This piece has a lightweight grade 5 titanium case with a compression-lock-system back for winding and setting time. We offer a two-year warranty for all working parts and manufacturing faults for luxury watches. Call our Customer Care team for more information.

EXCLUSIVE AT MR PORTER. Ressence describes its watches as a ""splash of colour for your wrist"" and we think that phrase still applies when the hue is earthy like this shade of green.

Driven by a heavily modified automatic movement, it allows for a clear and intuitive display that's unlike anything else in the industry. The 'Type 1 Slim' represents the purest expression of Ressence's avant-garde thinking, now housed in a sleeker, more ergonomic case that weighs less than 70 grams. The dial is matched by a coordinating rubber strap and has easy to read Super-LumiNova® markers. We offer a two-year warranty for all working parts and manufacturing faults for luxury watches.

Traditionally, diving watches need to be looked at straight on in order to be read properly, as refraction under water turns the glass into a mirror. The Ressence 'Type 5' eliminates what is known as 'total internal reflection' with its innovative oil-filled design. This unique feature enables clear legibility regardless of viewing angle, and also makes the model more lightweight and efficient as all the component parts are constantly lubricated. Its streamlined shape is hydrodynamic and the brand's patented ROCS 5 system means the dial is perpetually in motion for an ever-changing appearance. We offer a two-year warranty for all working parts and manufacturing faults for luxury watches. For more information, contact one of our experts by emailing watches@mrporter.com

Ressence has a ""less is more"" philosophy but it can still make a statement, as this limited-edition 'Type 1 Slim' watch shows.

Like other iterations of the model, this one has a titanium case and runs on an Orbital Convex System that's driven by the minute axle of an automatic movement to display the time and day in a unique way. The rubber strap comes in a warm red tone, as does the Super-LumiNova® coating on the dial markers. We offer a two-year warranty for all working parts and manufacturing faults for luxury watches.
