Sorry, wanted to post something else, but scrolled just over my IWC Ocean (Bund) - menage-a-six.......
….with four "Bunds" in the top-row, whereof two (in the middle) are so called "AMAG" (only 50 produced ever),
….the one in the top-row on the outer right being an "Porsche Executives Version" i.e. all stamps, marks and ref. numbers correct, but no "Bundeswehr" number on the back of the case
…. the one in the lower row middle being a so called black "TiCon". That is blackened Titanium. Very rare. VERY, VERY, VERY rare. (It was easier to get two AMAG than to get that TiCon)
Cheers, HSTE

Superb specimens
I feel these watches do not get the credit they deserve. Maybe it was a question of 80s esthetics. Personally, they are firmly on my list of future purchases - I love their technicality and history.
You just made me drool...
This is spectacular. One of my favorite watches and then the BUND version is just wow. HSTE do you have any online meterijal regarding the history of this model? I tried to find something but the only thing I got was old posts from IWC forum that are now ...
What an amazing collection!!!
Can you show a bund piece a little close up? Trying to understand the integrated bund functionality/look better. I love Ti watches, I don’t have a Porsche design but the 3536-01 What is blackened Titanium? Is that DLC/PVD coating over Ti?
Incredible!
What a collection. I have been searching for many months high and low for a good example to come up for sale with no luck. Any advice? Thanks!
