Description

Meet the TYPE 3 BB2: A new black edition further accentuating the hyper-minimal look of the TYPE 3, recipient of the 2024 "Best of the Best" distinction by the Red Dot Design Awards. 

With its distinctive edge-to-edge, front and back, sapphire crystal, evoking a sleek dark pebble, this new addition holds a bold and captivating design. Drawing on the limited 2022 TYPE 3 BBB’s reduced colour palette, the TYPE 3 BB2 features touches of primary colour tones on weekends and oil temperature indications.

"An almost pitch-black TYPE 3 edition truly showcases the magic of our flush rotating discs, acting like a mechanical screen, tricking the viewer’s senses and provoking wonder.” 

Features

Black titanium. Green lume. Floating satellites in oil. The TYPE 3 BB2 is Ressence’s stealthiest mechanical machine yet.
