IWC Porsche Design Ocean 2000 IW3500; Vintage Men's Watch

Description

The IWC Porsche Design Ocean 2000 is undoubtedly one of the most iconic dive watches of the 1980s. Designed by the legendary Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the creator of the Porsche 911, and technically developed by IWC Schaffhausen. The result was a revolutionary watch that was ahead of its time.

This piece has reference number IW3241 and was directly purchased from a German collector. That makes it not only a well-preserved watch but also one with a beautiful provenance. Particularly special is that it comes as a full set from 1988. A completely preserved piece with all accessories, unpolished, featuring beautifully aged tritium, is now extremely rare and increasingly hard to find.

The Ocean 2000 was a technical marvel at the time. The ultralight titanium case and strap were revolutionary in an era when almost all dive watches were still made of steel. Thanks to its minimalist design, excellent readability, and professional diving specifications, the model quickly became an icon in the world of watches.

Inside, it houses a high-quality IWC automatic Swiss movement Cal. 375 known for its reliability and accurate performance. The movement has been fully checked, runs smoothly and accurately.

The original IWC titanium bracelet is still in excellent condition. It fits wrists up to approximately 19cm when all links are used. Additionally, the original IWC nylon strap with a special titanium end link is included for a quick change. This strap is even mentioned in the accompanying IWC documentation!

This watch comes complete with the original accessories, box, papers, and IWC warranty papers, extra links (3x), tool, nylon strap, and our own warranty report with a 1-year guarantee.
