Quick look at the new P’6520 from Porsche Design. It’s inspired by the first Compass Watch, created in 1978 by the designer Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. The shape of this release is based on the historical model, but has been made somewhat larger. Porsche Design replaced the black aluminium with titanium, which is of higher quality and is also non-allergenic. The watch and the bracelet are made entirely of titanium with a black PVD coating.
This wrister comes in two parts: the upper part is a precision three-hand watch, whose luminescent hands are driven by the automatic SW300 Sellita calibre. The date appears at 3 o’clock on the dial. The lower part of the watch opens to reveal a liquid compass that can be easily removed. The watch is available with a compass for both the northern as well as the southern hemisphere. A scratch-resistant mirror has been installed on the rear of the watch part and on top of the compass.
