Type 1 Rose Gold
Description
The TYPE 1 Round Rose Gold combines the essential, crownless design of Ressence's much-loved TYPE 1° watch with the warm sophistication of rose-gold plating, in a limited-edition release launching at Dubai Watch Week.
"Rose gold brings a certain warmth and character to our design language," explains Benoît Mintiens, founder of Ressence, whose Antwerp-based brand has now made multiple successful iterations of this design, following the launch of the original TYPE 1 in 2014.
The rose-gold plating provides the dial with a soft, copper-toned luminescence. Cool silver subdials create visual clarity, while white minute markers ensure legibility.
A light grey suede strap completes the composition, lightening the overall aesthetic and allowing the dial's warmth to command attention.
"The grey strap was deliberate," notes Mintiens. "We wanted something that would complement the rose gold without competing with it; something that felt modern and versatile."
