Through its partnership with Porsche Design, which has a strong commitment to "titanium watches," IWC refined its titanium processing techniques, significantly influencing future titanium watchmaking. Now that the partnership has ended, all models are extremely rare. Among them, this "Ocean 2000" was originally a special military model commissioned by the former West German Navy's mine clearance unit. At the time, divers tasked with removing underwater mines required a "2000m water resistance class" to move underwater in submarines. IWC responded to this extraordinary demand with the "Ocean 2000." Anecdotes circulated that during actual testing, it withstood pressures equivalent to 320 atmospheres (3200m). Not only its astonishing specs, but its futuristic design became a major talking point. Even today, its perfectly executed appearance shows no sign of fading. The matte, subdued texture made possible by titanium and the presence of the then-large "42mm case" are truly outstanding. Years have passed since production ended, so even in the used market, it's now a rare find. It has some minor scratches and scuffs, but no major damage, and is in good condition. The dial shows some discoloration due to aging. The hands show some discoloration due to aging. Timekeeping accuracy, measured by a timegrapher, is within ±20 seconds per day, with no positional variation. This model is a piece that will appeal to enthusiasts. We encourage you to consider purchasing it at this opportunity. We look forward to your prompt inquiry.
