Information transmitted from movement to indications by micro-magnets . MODULE: Patented system invented and developed by Ressence. Independent convex dial (radius: 125mm) comprising 28 gears and 57 jewels. Made in grade 5 Titanium integrating three eccentric biaxial satellites inclined at 3°...

The RESSENCE Dial seconds minutes hours date week day weekend day Dial The watch you now own has a unique time display mechanism. Unlike traditional watches, the time representation is generated by a set of disks and rings. The so-called time module (or module) is an independent mechanical unit that generates all the functions independently completely immersed in oil.
The barrel will wind completely by wearing the watch. Principle As the TYPE 3 is automatically winding by wearing it, you only need to set the time when the watch stopped working*; what is the concequence of not wearing the watch for a longer period.

Manual Winding Turn the back case counter clockwise a n t w e r p T Y P E Turn the back case clockwise Turning the back case counter clockwise will wind the watch manually. A winding sound is perceptible. The rotor will move freely Turning the back case clockwise will not wind the watch.
Like all liquids, oil expands when heated and contracts when chilled. TYPE 3 has been calibrated to function between 10°C ( 50°F ) and 35°C ( 95°F ). This corresponds to a normal wearing temperature of 20°C ( 68°F ) with skin contact.
