You'd expect a studio like Porsche Design to come out with the occasional driver's watch. But a diving watch is quite a different story. In fact, this is only the second time the studio has made one. The first was over 25 years ago, with the Ocean 2000, designed by company founder Prof. F.A. Porsche in 1983. The P'6780 is Porsche Design's innovative and rugged follow-up.

Capable of reaching depths up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet), P'6780's party trick is actually quite functional: the stainless steel case that houses the movement hinges forward out of its titanium bracket (which in turn attaches to the rubber wrist strap), thereby insulating the case from shock and keeping the crown from being accidentally re-set.
