Design
- Case and Dial
- The watch is housed in a 42mm stainless steel case finished with a black PVD coating. The auction description reports that the casing shows minimal marks sustained during long-term storage. The black dial features three sub-dials and a day/date window positioned at the three o'clock marker. Orange hands are used for the central seconds and the hours counter sub-dial. The luminous material on the indices has developed patina consistent with age. A tachymeter scale is printed along the outer edge of the dial.
- Visible features
- • Black PVD coating on case and bracelet • Tritium-style patina on indices • Three-register dial layout with day-date window • Orange-colored chronograph hands
- Provenance and Design
- The design of the watch was developed with the participation of Ferdinand Porsche, intended to reflect the aesthetic of Porsche 911 instrumentation. The watch is offered as an untouched specimen, supported by the presence of the original hangtag, and includes a handmade leather pouch.
- Movement and Functionality
- The timepiece is driven by a Lemania 5100 movement. The seller notes that the watch is functioning, but recommends that a potential owner undertake a service if they intend to use it for daily timekeeping. The seller elected not to open the case back, maintaining the watch's internal state as it was received, as part of its presentation as a preserved, untouched item.
