1972’s Chronograph 1 — strikingly cool as it is — is far from Porsche Design’s only notable wristwatch. In fact, we’d argue that there’s another that’s just as important, though for different reasons.

That watch is the Ocean 2000. Designed by none other than Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche himself — the man behind the iconic 911 — the Ocean 2000 was a 42.5mm titanium diver with an usual integrated bracelet, a non-conventional (and non-ISO compliant) dial devoid of numerical indices, and an impressive-as-hell 2000-meter water resistance rating. And it was released all the way back in 1982, and was in production until 1998!

Despite its unconventional design, this unusual watch — which was produced by none other than the International Watch Company — was adopted by Germany’s elite combat swimmers as their official timepiece. Not bad for a design-focused timepiece from a firm helmed by the scion of an automotive legacy!

This particular Ocean 2000 from circa the 1990's is housed in a 42.5mm titanium case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown at 4 o’clock, and a notched, captive bezel with a Tritium triangle at 12 o’clock. It features a matte black Tritium dial with a white outer minute track, a matching handset, and a date window at 3 o’clock.

Powered by the automatic workhorse ETA 2892 movement, it comes paired to its integrated, titanium bracelet with a signed, titanium push-button deployant clasp, and even includes its original box.

Now considered a horological classic, it looks just as futuristic today as it did upon its release.

Snag it before someone else has the same idea!
