Porsche Design Mens Sport
Watches
Everybody knows that Porsche Design is
not just another run of the mill luxury brand. Apart from the
range of mens sport watches they have created, the
world famous brand name also makes an appearance on a whole
range of other men’s accessories. These include such items as
leather goods, pens, luggage, and not to mention the highly
sought after Porsche designer sunglasses range. And Porsche
Design doesn’t share the famous marquee for no reason – the
company was originally found by none other than the Grandson of
Porsche’s original founder in 1972.
Mens sport watches have been a mainstay of Porsche design since
back in 1973 and over the years the designs have had the
distinction of holding many world firsts. These include
designing the very first watch in the world that integrated a
compass (1978) and in 1980 the first titanium chronograph.
Due to the lack of any delicate craftwork like details or
engraving, and no appreciable component decorations, the
Porsche design is not everyone’s idea of an appealing watch.
These watches err very much on the side of minimalism and their
mainstay is their functionality.
Porsche Design does not make many models of mens sport
watches. One that does tick all the right boxes is the P6340
Automatic Chronograph, a watch which is part of the Flat Six
collection. It has been intelligently designed and utilises a
range of contemporary materials, offering a rather nice sporty
design. It has a rather professional look to it and comes in
white or black coloured dials. The chronograph counters
contrast nicely, especially when the PVD coated models are used
in their red/black combinations. The straps can come either as
the traditional steel bracelet type, or as endurable
rubber.
This watch is ideal for use in all conditions because of the
legible markers that are fluorescent, and is very functional.
The Automatic Chronograph watch measures just over 44mm across
and sits a rather large 15mm off the wrist, so it definitely
doesn’t fall into the modest range of timepieces. The watch is
also water resistant to 120 metres.
The P6340 Automatic Chronograph is classed as one of the
prestige mens sport watches available on the market, and comes
about due to Porsche Design’s pursuit of perfection.
