PORSCHE DESIGN P'6780 Diver Black Edition

By TLex The P'6780 Diver Black Edition, is is not a limited edition nor will cost anymore than the regular version of the P'6780 Diver. For full details please see Porsche Design's press-release below. (live images)



From PORSCHE DESIGN Matt black and resistant to 1000 metres - Launched last year and already in receipt of an iF Award, the P’6780 Diver from Porsche Design is being issued in a Black Edition at Baselworld 2011. What is not changing is the advanced three-part case construction, comprising a hinged circular stainless steel inner case housing the movement, a titanium bridge structure, which accommodates the case when hinged down, and a black caoutchouc strap featuring a folding clasp. The watch is resistant to a pressure of 100 ATM, which corresponds to a diving depth of 1,000 metres (3'280 feet). It is powered by a highly precise self-winding mechanical movement.

Black watches are very much the trend these days, one that was begun by Porsche Design many years ago. It was Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, founder of the Porsche Design luxury brand, who came up with the world's first-ever all-black watch in 1972. The matt black colour is now integrated within the durable PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating applied to the watch. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche liked the colour. According to him, "Black is the only colour that does not detract from the form."

As with all Porsche Design watches, the P’6780 Diver demonstrates a compelling functionality. The three-part construction allows the watch to be operated wearing gloves: this involves using the two upper locking pushers to unlock the hinged inner case and raising it from the safety bridge. The winding crown and bezel can then easily be adjusted. When the inner case is safely locked within the bridge, neither crown nor bezel can be moved inadvertently. The watch offers outstanding legibility thanks to the contrast of the white hands against the black dial. The lugs are flexible for optimum on-wrist comfort.



The Diver’s advanced sealing system keeps the inner case water resistant to a depth of 1,000 metres (328 feet, 100 ATM); no helium valve or screw-down crown are necessary. As is usual with Porsche Design, the use of colour is frugal in the extreme. One solitary blue stripe on the rim designates the first 15 minutes, while the same colour is also used to outline the broad, luminous minute hand. Also coated in luminous material are the remaining hands, baton indices and numerals of the dial and bezel: the optimal underwater legibility they offer at advanced diving depths confers peace of mind during a diver's decompression phase. Back on land, the blue flash against the matt black background looks just great.

Porsche Design is known for incorporating new types of innovative materials and useful supplementary function into its watches: 1978 saw the appearance of the first wristwatch to feature a built-in compass, 1980 the first chronograph to be fashioned from ultra-tough yet light titanium, and 2004 the first mechanical chronograph to sport a digital display. Meanwhile the Worldtimer, launched in 2007, displays the time in all 24 time zones at the press of a button.

PERRELET Seacraft Collection

From PERRELET Plumbing the depths - Evolving in a new universe, the Perrelet is now accompanying enthusiasts in search of discovery and emotions in the dark depths of the oceans (live images).



In a field so far not explored, Perrelet is plunging into this aquatic world with three instruments of measurement; its new collection comprises the 3 hands-date, the GMT and the Chronograph. All three are proposed in a robust stainless steel case with elegant contrasting polished and brushed surfaces. A 4mm thick sapphire crystal with anti-glare treatment on both sides, and a stamped, screw-down case back, guaranteeing water-resistance to 777 metres, complete the case features.

Of the models featured here, the Chronograph, has a screw-down crown and two push-pieces encircled with aluminum rings, which contribute to the smooth functioning of the mechanical movement. An automatic helium valve, a vital element when the watch is being used in a diving chamber, is located at 9 o’clock. The fluting, which is the Brand’s aesthetic, is clearly recognizable on the one-way, notched, rotating bezel, showing a 60-minute scale and featuring a luminescent marker at 12 o’clock.




SEACRAFT GMT A1055/3 + A1055/A

The extreme demands imposed by this sometimes very dark environment necessitate a clear legibility of its displays. The symmetric indication of its counters on the white, black or blue dials, the applied indexes and the hands containing luminescent material produce wonderful contrasts. This collection is very well-balanced and sits perfectly on the wrist, whether with its elegant alligator leather or with its comfortable brushed stainless steel bracelet.



A high-tech nylon strap is offered in the special watch box that comes with the three models of this collection. Immersion in a world of silence, a world of mystery sometimes feared but always admired, in which you will be able to let yourself go with your new adventure companion.

ORIS Carlos Coste LE Cenote Series (new)

From ORIS Breath Taking Oris Carlos Coste Limited Edition Cenote Series - In 2010, Carlos Coste established a new Guinness World Record for freediving, by completing a 150 metre underwater swim using no apparatus through Dos Ojos, a colossal cenote (cave network) that twists for 31 miles under Yucatan, Mexico. The Venezuelan was armed with only a torch and a monofin when he made the death-defying dive and now Oris have honoured this great achievement by creating a special Carlos Coste Limited Edition Cenote Series watch.



A standout edition to the Diver’s collection, the new Carlos Coste Limited Edition Cenote Series boasts a number of original features to highlight Coste’s incredible feat. The essential minute counter glows in the dark for ease of reading and to indicate the time spent under water; a triangle on the 2 minute position symbolizes that Carlos would be reaching his own breath record of 2:30 minutes for a dynamic dive at this point, whilst a second triangle at the seven minute position highlights Carlos’s record of 7:30 minutes for holding his breath during a static dive.



The top ring of this super-functional and desirable watch is made of scratch proof ceramic, a plus for all extreme sports aficionados who need their watches to be as resilient as they are. The numerals and triangle at the zero position are filled with SLN to provide optimum visibility in darkness like that experienced during cave dives. The case back is graced by the Carlos Coste logo and the limitation number.



Designed in honor of a record breaker, the Oris Carlos Coste Limited Edition Cenote Series is the ultimate performance accessory.



Oris Carlos Coste Limited Edition Cenote Series chronograph honors Carlos Coste’s latest Guinness World Record. The case back includes the Carlos Coste logo and the limitation number. Below, Carlos Coste during his record dive in the Dos Ojos Cenote in Yucatan, Mexico.
