Frequently asked questions

Is the Ressence Type 1 Slim nickel-free?

On the maker's published specification, no nickel-bearing steel touches the skin: a grade 5 titanium case with a titanium caseback, plus a non-steel crown and strap. That is what the guide records rather than a test of the watch, so confirm the contact points with the maker before buying if you react to nickel.
