NO CROWN
An ingenious hydraulic shock absorber is designed to prevent the uncoupling of the magnetic transmission of the TYPE 5. The shock absorption system is based on a bottlenecked oil flow. Blades under the runner disc generate a flow of oil that is guided through small apertures. When the watch undergoes a shock, the oil flow increases and will exceed the capacity of these apertures. This will induce a hydraulic friction that will slow down the rotation speed of the runner disc. The runner disc is mechanically connected to the rest of the watch via a set of gears. The system will keep the ROCS and the rest of the watch connected together and will prevent the uncoupling of the magnets.( captions courtesy Ressence)

INSPIRED BY NATURE The organic design of the TYPE 5 takes its inspiration from nature. Evolution has given sea turtles a distinct aqua-dynamic shape to propel themselves easily through water- so what better shape for an amphibious watch? Strapped onto your thermal suit, the TYPE 5 will conform to your wrist to guarantee optimum hydrodynamic properties.
