Official description

Like there is a “tic” and a “tac”, a yin and a yang, shadow and light, there is the TYPE 3 Black and the TYPE 3 White. Which precedes, and which follows? Charm and mystery together grow. Just as night gives way to day, and day fades into night, step into a dimension where contrasts meet in harmony.

To launch this renewed TYPE 3 duet, we explore the interplay between these two watches through graphic arts in black and white. At their highs, at their lows, and all the nuances in between.

This pair of TYPE 3 features new details, aligning their dial design with the other TYPE 3 within the collection. The key update lies in the font. When these two watches were first launched in 2013, Ressence's in-house font hadn't been finalised yet—the finished version was introduced two years later for the TYPE 5. Now, this couple of iconic Ressence watches feature the custom typeface, designed for technical precision. The lines of the font are shaped by the round tool used to mill the titanium dial, giving the numbers and indexes their distinct rounded ends. Other updates include a simplified hour disc with indexes every two hours and a redesigned shock absorber. Additionally, the weekend days and oil temperature indicators now feature new pastel tones.
