Footnote
Launched at Basel in 1983, the Ocean 2000 in titanium, designed by Ferdinand Porsche, underwent three bracelet variations and four dial versions for retail purchase (there was also a military issue) until production ceased in the 1990's. The example offered here uses the second generation bracelet with dual pins on the underside of the bracelet to secure it and elegant, simple dial format with Porsche Design printed under IWC.
