It is comprised of a [titanium case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ressence-type-9) that details colorful accents of red, yellow, green, and blue rings in a contrasting tonal pattern. At a closer glance, it unveils the orbiting dial that features the minute details of something more representative of paper art prints. The TYPE 1° Round M has a playful design language overall with a bright display of the brand's notable water drop, air chamber, and sealed oil.
