IWC Ocean

Porsche Design Ocean 2000 c. 1996

12120 Porsche Design Ocean 2000 c. 1996 IWC's history of material innovation goes back to 1980, when it introduced its first titanium watch in collaboration with the French aircraft company Aerospatiale. Only two years later, it teamed up with Porsche Design to create the Ocean 2000 diver, also manufactured entirely out of titanium.\n\nAt that point, most dive watches followed a fairly traditional design - often with a steel bracelet and rotating bezel. The IWC Ocean 2000 was entirely different and space-age - made from the light, antimagnetic and hypoallergenic titanium and with an unusual case with an offset crown that tapered into the integrated bracelet. It even had a 2000 metre water resistance rating.\n\nThe Ocean 2000 was originally designed for the divers of the Germany Navy, but was also introduced to the civilian market.
