Unique Porsche Design by IWC Ocean 2000

The Ocean 2000 was an early work (early 1980s), and the dial showed the "International Watch Co. Schaffhausen" in a cursive font at 12 o'clock. Kurt liked it very much (later the Porsche Design by replica IWC watch removed the sketches. Change "by IWC" at 6 o'clock and "PORSCHE DESIGN" at 12 o'clock. The bar-shaped hands and time stamps use "Tritium", a luminous paint before the popularity of Super-LumiNova; although it will peel off and turn yellow after a long time, it is very flavorful.

The case and the belt are made of titanium, so the whole watch is really light. A little understanding of the development of titanium in the history of watches and clocks, this material is of great significance to IWC, because IWC has already promoted its benefits before other brands have incorporated it into the elements of the watch. It has the advantage of being easy to wear, and because of the tight, high-curve refining, the Ocean 2000 can be placed on the wrist. In addition, titanium has a hardness that is more wear resistant than stainless steel. Even if Kurt is not like a watch with a valuable watch that will restrain the swinging movement of the wrist, but the love table will still hurt when it is scratched; fortunately, the hardness of Ocean 2000 is enough, I looked carefully, there are not many scratches; It is also the place that Kurt appreciates. Moreover, the treatment of the matte surface is beautiful, and the texture of the touch is very comfortable, which makes people love it.

Another Kurt cares about technology. A watch must not only look good, but also have connotations. The replica TAG Heuer Monaco Steve McQueen Ocean 2000 has a depth of 2,000 meters. From its extremely thick glass mirror, the Ocean 2000 can withstand the pressure of water pressure. With a precision case with a thickness of only 12.6 mm, it was a very powerful pioneer in that era. Usually you can dive into the deep watch and you will have a drain valve to allow the helium that may cause the watch to burst. However, the Ocean 2000 does not have a drain valve, but a special metal washer is placed inside the case to prevent the influence of temperature changes on the tightness of the case, while allowing the helium to enter and exit freely. Such a design is quite rare and is what Kurt calls technology.
