Ressence TYPE 10 houses the in-house RW-04 calibre and ROCS 10 oil display. Limited to 100 pieces at CHF 45,000, launching October 2026.
Beyond the Spec Sheet
- Ressence’s TYPE 10 DN houses the brand’s first in-house self-winding calibre, the RW-04, inside an oil-filled case — a combination Ressence has not produced before in its existing line-up.
- The RW-04 comprises 252 components, delivers a 60-hour power reserve from two barrels, and beats in air while the ROCS 10 display (196 components) operates through oil.
- A magnetic transmission bridges the two sealed environments: two magnet sets sit 0.2 mm apart, divided by a 0.1 mm titanium membrane, with no shaft and no physical opening.
- Limited to 100 pieces, priced at CHF 45,000 excluding taxes, and available from November 2026 following its WatchTime New York unveiling on 16 October.
Design & Architecture
538 total components across the TYPE 10, and the stated goal of that complexity is to remove all visible evidence of it. Fluid lines and a continuous finishing discipline give the case a form that, according to Ressence, could only exist because of the three-dimensional ROCS 10 display. Time is not shown on a flat surface; it becomes structural to the shape of the watch itself.
Up close, there are no crowns breaking the profile, no conventional dial plane. The oil medium allows the display discs to appear suspended within the case volume, which is the precise condition the form was built around.
Movement & Materials
The RW-04 (Ressence Werk 04) is designed specifically for TYPE 10 and represents Ressence’s first in-house calibre to power an oil-filled reference. Its 252 components deliver 60 hours of autonomy via twin barrels. The magnetic coupling transmitting energy from the air-side movement to the oil-side ROCS 10 operates across a gap of just 0.2 mm, with a 0.1 mm titanium membrane as the only barrier between the two environments. There is no mechanical shaft and no aperture: no potential path for oil migration.
Market Position
At CHF 45,000 excluding taxes and an edition of 100 pieces, the TYPE 10 DN sits at the upper register of independent watchmaking’s current market. For Gulf collectors who already hold Ressence pieces, this reference closes the gap between the brand’s signature display concept and full in-house movement architecture — a position the brand has been building toward since the original TYPE 1.
Availability opens in November 2026. Collectors in the region may enquire directly through the maison or an authorised retailer in the Middle East.

Frequently Asked Questions
What movement powers the Ressence TYPE 10?
The TYPE 10 is driven by the RW-04 (Ressence Werk 04), an in-house designed self-winding calibre consisting of 252 components and offering a 60-hour power reserve through two barrels. It is the first in-house movement Ressence has used in an oil-filled watch.
How many pieces of the Ressence TYPE 10 DN will be produced?
The TYPE 10 DN is limited to 100 pieces. It was unveiled at WatchTime New York on 16 October 2026 and is available from November 2026.
What is the price of the Ressence TYPE 10, and is it available in the Middle East?
The TYPE 10 DN is priced at CHF 45,000 excluding taxes. Collectors in the Middle East may request it on request from the maison or an authorised retailer in the region.
How does the oil-filled display of the Ressence TYPE 10 work without leaking?
A magnetic transmission separates the RW-04 movement, which beats in air, from the ROCS 10 display, which operates through oil. Two sets of magnets sit 0.2 mm apart, divided by a 0.1 mm titanium membrane, with no shaft, no opening and no physical contact between the two sealed environments.
