The newest creation of watchmaker Ressence, the Type 5 L is ideally suited for lads who like to be active beneath the waves.
Who doesn’t like taking to the sea from time to time? Humans are naturally drawn to the water, and when we like to escape the rat race, destinations in close proximity to water are often on the cards. Watch brands know this too – even the luxury timepieces more often than not come with a water resistance rating far exceeding anything you might throw at them. However, if you really want to tackle the depths, you might want to take a look at the Type 5 L.

Featuring a full Super-LumiNova inlay, the entire dial of the Type 5 L, which complements its horological siblings, the Type 5 Night Blue and Black Black editions, casts a strong glow when the lights are low.
This luminosity is paired with Ressence’s signature oil-filled upper chamber, a hallmark of every Type 5 model, which cancels out light refraction and makes the watch readable from any angle, providing a clear and crisp display that is essential for divers and sailors.

In addition, its unidirectional rotating bezel features an easy-to-grip tactile design that allows for precise and reliable adjustments, while the caseback deploys the Ressence Compression Lock System (RCLS), a mechanism which enables wearers to lock the compression gasket for even sturdier waterproofing.
