The watch -- which is short for Black, Black, Black -- boasts a series of rotating discs in place of conventional hands for the hours, minutes, seconds and days. The watch features a [polished black titanium case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mp17-meca10) that has been paired with a DLC finish to give it a glossy aesthetic that is perfectly suited against the [oil-filled sapphire glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida-digitrend-open-sapphire). The Ressence Type 3 BBB timepiece is devoid of color aside from white and gray to help the indicators be easily viewed with a single glance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Disc-based Timepieces:** The use of rotating discs in place of hands to display time in a watch. - **Black Minimalist Design:** The use of only black, white and grey colors in a sleek, polished design for accessories. - **Oil-filled Glass:** The use of oil-filled sapphire glass to provide a unique aesthetic element to watch design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Watchmaking:** Exploring unconventional design elements such as disc-based displays and oil-filled glass for watches. - **Fashion Accessories:** Incorporating a black minimalist design into other accessories like jewelry and eyewear. - **Luxury Lifestyle:** Creating high-end, visually-striking accessories that cater to a wide range of lifestyle needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyper-Minimalist Timepiece Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ressence-type-3-bb2.md) - [Graphic Art-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-1-round-m.md) - [Fluid Dial Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-newson-1.md) - [Sculpted Color-Blocked Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ressence-type-1-round-multicolour.md) - [Swirling Gradient Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ressence-type-8-daniel-engelberg.md) - [Hyper-Compact Titanium Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ressence-type-9.md) - [Sculpted Hybrid Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-3-mn.md) - [Handwoven Indigo-Dyed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-8-watch.md) - [Demure Dual-Timezone Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ressence-type-7.md)
