Introducing the TYPE 10 DN, Ressence’s First Oil-Filled Watch with the Proprietary Movement
Independent watchmaker Ressence is releasing the Type 10 DN, nicknamed Dark Night, as its first oil-filled watch driven by a proprietary movement. Limited to 100 pieces, the timepiece features a dark blue DLC-coated titanium case designed to look like one continuous object. The new RW-04 calibre replaces previous ETA bases to increase the power reserve to 60 hours. This release pairs the brand signature oil-filled display module with its new in-house platform for the first time, following the debut of its first proprietary base calibre earlier in the year.

Ressence Debuts Type 10 DN With In-House Movement
Independent watchmaker Ressence is releasing the Type 10 DN, nicknamed Dark Night, as its first oil-filled watch driven by a proprietary movement. Limited to 100 pieces, the timepiece features a dark blue DLC-coated titanium case designed to look like one continuous object. The new RW-04 calibre replaces previous ETA bases to increase the power reserve to 60 hours. This release pairs the brand signature oil-filled display module with its new in-house platform for the first time, following the debut of its first proprietary base calibre earlier in the year.
Why it matters
Ressence previously relied on ETA movements to power its oil-filled watch modules, which limited power reserves to 36 hours. The introduction of the RW-04 calibre solves this limitation and marks a step forward in the industrialization of the brand proprietary mechanics. The debut model highlights a minimalist design approach rooted in contemporary horology.
