If you know, you know
Another new Ressence day! This is the Type 3BBB "Black Black Black", a one-year limited production run Type 3 from 2022. I've really wanted this watch since it came out but opted to put down a deposit for a Type 2 back then. So when a retailer told me that they still had a new one in storage, the opportunity was too good to pass up.
Compared to the regular Type 3, the 3BBB is fully monochrome and uses an even more aggresively domed crystal. The titanium mid case and caseback are both DLC coated in black and mirror polished to match the oil-filled dial. In the right light, the watch really does look as if it's made from a single unified material. Paired with a synthetic strap, I feel like it takes the Type 3's design idea to its logical conclusion - visually *entirely* indistinguishable from a smartwatch, without even the small hints of color on the other references.
Funny enough, when I picked up this watch there was a Japan festival next to my hotel, and I talked to at least a half dozen people wearing all sorts of nice Grand Seiko and high end G-shocks at the hotel bar. None of them asked anything about the Type 3, even though a few recognized the Citizen 0200 on my friend's wrist.
