Introducing the TYPE 5 L: Ressence’s Luminescent Marvel
Imagine yourself at an avant-garde art show. The room is dimly lit, alive with conversations and the soft clinking of glasses. As you glance at your wrist to check the time, your luminous TYPE 5 L catches the eye of a nearby attendee. A brief moment of eye contact, a smile, and soon you’re engaged in a lively conversation, exchanging ideas and contact details. In that instant, the TYPE 5 L proves that a statement piece can spark connections, even in the most unexpected settings.
The highly anticipated TYPE 5 L is finally here, radiating brilliance. Whether you’re at the movies, a wild rave, driving through a tunnel, or exploring a bat cave, this watch ensures you stand out.
As the name suggests, ‘L’ stands for ‘Luminescent’. Thanks to its full Super-LumiNova® inlay, the entire dial glows brightly in low light conditions. “This new beamer and latest addition to our line of mechanical watches is as much a tool watch as a conversation starter, thanks to its superior legibility and unique design,” says Benoît Mintiens, Founder of Ressence. “It’s not just about functionality; the robust TYPE 5 L brings a sense of quiet assurance and singularity to its wearer, making it a true companion for any endeavor.”
And yes, it’s perfect for diving too.
The TYPE 5 Luminescent joins the TYPE 5 Night Blue and Black Black, and will be available worldwide from June 2024 through Ressence’s official retailer network.
Oil-Filled for Optimal Legibility
The TYPE 5 L features Ressence’s signature oil-filled upper chamber, a hallmark of every TYPE 5 model. This oil eliminates light refraction, making the watch readable from any angle and ensuring a clear, crisp display essential for divers. The extra luminescent dial further enhances this legibility.
Meeting Diver’s Watch Standards
The TYPE 5 L meets the stringent ISO 6425 standard for underwater exploration, ensuring the highest levels of safety and reliability. It is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM) and has passed tests for magnetic and shock resilience. The robust Grade 5 titanium construction guarantees durability while maintaining a lightweight profile.
Precision Bezel and Secure Lock System
The watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel with an easy-to-grip tactile design, allowing for precise and reliable adjustments—a critical feature for divers who need to track immersion time accurately. Additionally, the TYPE 5 caseback utilizes the Ressence Compression Lock System (RCLS), a mechanism that enables wearers to lock the compression gasket for waterproofing.
