IWC Porsche Compass

Overall Condition: Excellent condition overall. Case and bracelet show only light signs of wear with majority of anodized coating intact. Dial and handset are in great condition with even patination throughout. Compass is not in working condition.

1972’s Chronograph 1 — strikingly cool as it is — is far from Porsche Design’s only notable wristwatch. In fact, we’d argue that there’s another that’s just as important, though for different reasons.

That watch is the Porsche design compass. Designed by none other than Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche himself — the man behind the iconic 911 — this model family incorporated a particularly unique case and bracelet architecture to make for one of the most other-worldly designs on the market.

39mm with anodized aluminum case and matching bracelet, this piece has the timekeeping display set on a pivot to reveal a second layer with a compass underneath. The ultimate tool watch for lovers of Porsche, this watch proves that Porsche knows more than just cars.

Despite its unconventional design, this unusual watch — which was produced by none other than the International Watch Company is a perfect companion for adventurers the world over.

Now considered a horological classic, it looks just as futuristic today as it did upon its release.
