Ressence Type5 is a unique new direction for Benoit Mintiens and his team at Ressence. A direction which incorporates some of the knowledge acquired with the development of the Type1 and Type3 and some new developments unique to Type5. Ressence-Type5 had the design goal to create a unique sport diver in the Ressence style, as only Benoit Mintiens and his team can do. Of course, this means orbital time keeping where a set of dials function within a rotating “mother dial” to have all time on the dial(s) in motion.Type5 is an oil filled model, just as Type3. Type5 features hours, minutes, seconds and a thermal gage which indicates the ambient temperature of the oil under the lens.
