First, it's regarded as the first watch with a case to receive a blacked-out PVD coating, a trend that has become more and more popular as time passes. Second, the watch wasn't born from the hands of a traditional watchmaker, instead it came from the mind of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, who founded his eponymous design studio in 1972, and released this watch soon after in collaboration with the Orfina watch brand. Later, Porsche Design would partner with IWC on the production of its watches, but its very first partner was Orfina, and today's example dates to the initial years of their partnership. This watch is also accompanied by its original presentation box, instruction manual, and a blank guarantee.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis Porsche Design by Orfina is in overall good, honest condition. The case and bracelet have a nice, consistent worn look. Occasionally, when we come across these early black-PVD watches in mint condition, it can be difficult to wear them in fear of damaging the PVD coating. With this example, you won't have to worry about it too much, since the signs of wear are consistent and attractive. This example just came back from a full service, so it's ready to rock and roll.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eModel seen on the wrist of Lt Pete \"Maverick\" played by Tom Cruise in the hit movie \"Top Gun\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInformation:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-owned: 1970's Porsche Design By Orfina Chronograph I Ref. 7176S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference: 7176S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCirca: 70's\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial\/hands: Tritium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBracelet: \u003cspan\u003eBlack-PVD coated stainless steel Orfina bracelet \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Size: 41mm x 14mm Thickness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLug Width: 20mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Metal: \u003cspan\u003eStainless steel with black-PVD coating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement: Lemania 5100 - Automatic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunctions: Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Day-Date, Chronograph, GMT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBox and Papers: No box or Papers - Watch only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal: Mineral Glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBracelet size: 7.5”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase has light normal wear with nothing notable.
