About Ressence Type 1 Squared Watches
The Ressence Type 1 Squared was first introduced in 2017 at SIHH or the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie. It provided a different wearing experience than Ressence's original offerings. The case is thinner, and the edges are honed into a shape that is befitting of its name-Squared.
The Ressence Type 1 Squared also introduced a new lever system on the caseback for winding and setting the watch, as a common complaint on the original watch was that the entire caseback had to be turned, which made for awkward time setting.
Ressence Type 1 Squared History
First launched in 2011-a year after the extremely limited Zero Series-Ressence charged onto the watch scene with the release of the Series One, the predecessor to the ever-popular Type 1 Round available today. Ressence has gone on to not only improve on its horological technology, but it's also gone a long way in diversifying its offerings, and the Ressence Type 1 Squared is a testament to this.

What's Unique About Ressence Type 1 Squared Watches?
Beyond the absolutely eye-catching and conversation-inducing design, The Ressence Type 1 Squared stands apart with its meticulous attention to detail. Striking a delicate balance between form and functionality, these timepieces boast a patented ROCS system that challenges the conventional concept of watch dials. The absence of traditional hands, replaced by revolving discs displaying hours, minutes, seconds, and days, underscores its groundbreaking design.
The Ressence watch deviates notably from conventional timepieces by omitting a standard crown. Instead, both winding and setting functionalities have been ingeniously relocated to the watch's caseback, contributing to a sleek and distinctive case design.
Manipulating the folding lever at the back accomplishes both winding and setting tasks. Unlike the typical modern crown with separate stops for distinct functions, this lever operates uniquely. Turning it in either direction adjusts the time, providing an intriguing spectacle as the dials rotate at a faster pace than usual. However, clockwise rotation facilitates setting the day, while counterclockwise rotation is reserved for the winding mechanism.
Ressence Type 1 Squared Movements
The Ressence Type 1 Squared houses an ETA 2892 base caliber modified with the ROCS in-house module. The ROCS name encapsulates its unique features: Ressence, as it's patented and developed by the company; Orbital, reflecting the circular movement of the dial discs; Convex, mirroring the curved nature of each disc and the watch's organic design; and System, signifying its mechanical module.
The ROCS seamlessly merges various layers of information-replacing hands atop a fixed dial-with an animated mono-surfaced display. Despite its unconventional appearance, it maintains the same intuitive time-reading patterns found in traditional dial-and-hand configurations. This innovative approach to time representation stems from enhanced ergonomic readability. The movement not only offers superb accuracy and shock resistance, but it also boasts a 36-hour power reserve.
Ressence Type 1 Squared Watch Colors
The Ressence Type 1 Squared is offered in four unique models, all forged from grade five titanium. These models differ in their dial and strap colors. The black dial version comes with a supple black cordovan strap. The navy blue dial version comes with a matching cordovan strap, too. The white dial version comes with a tan leather strap. Finally, the silver dial version comes with an antique-styled black leather strap.

Ressence Type 1 Squared Watch Types
Though the Ressence Type 1 Squared is non-traditional in its aesthetics, its svelte dimensions make it an ideal dress watch, easily at home in the board room or at a black tie event. That said, today's fashion dictates a greater blurring between the lines of dressy and casual, and as such, the Ressence Type 1 Squared can also go well with jeans and a t-shirt. Its versatility transcends conventional style boundaries, seamlessly adapting to any occasion with its timeless elegance.
Ressence Type 1 Squared Watch Complications
The Ressence Type 1 Squared offers a unique take on the AM/PM and day indicators. It is one of the few watches featuring a day complication sans a date function. This complication, depicted by five solid dashes alongside two outlined ones, holds a straightforward functionality.
The solid dashes systematically represent weekdays, while the outlined dashes symbolize Saturday and Sunday. Though seemingly evident upon explanation, many individuals initially overlook this feature at a quick glance. Furthermore, this complication serves as an implicit AM/PM indicator as the hand progresses along each dash throughout the day-marking the morning within the first half and transitioning to the evening in the latter.
