IWC Ocean "Bund"

[Quasar007]

Dnes jsem nalezl jedny neobvyklé IWC, sic armádní, navíc 70's a k tomu ještě PD, ale i tak zajímavé.

 

 

The IWC Ocean "Bund", special diving watches for the German Navy

In the late 1970`s the German Navy (?Bund?) was searching for a special watch for their divers. Due to the reputation of the Aquatimer, an order was passed to IWC Schaffhausen. During the co-operation several very special watches were produced, one of them was a model for ?Mine Sweepers? that was anti-magnetic. It took years to develop the necessary technology. Besides the production of the titanium case, which no other manufacturer was able to do at that time, the use of non-magnetic materials in the movement was a big challenge. More than 20 years on this is still a technical sensation.

V dobe vzniku to bola celkom bomba. S titanom nemali veľa skúseností, preto je to puzdro hrubšie spracované - hlavne z rubovej strany od dna. Na ruke sa vďaka ťahu nosia veľmi príjemne, ale vyzerajú na nej dosť malé.

Late 1970s = jar 1980

 

inak je to civilna verzia vojenskych Ocean, ktore boli uvedene do vyzbroje bundeswehru v r1984. Dizajn sposobil Porsche, mozno preto sa mi stale pacia. Povodne armadne mali vsetky diely ktore by mohli emitovat najmensie em polia nahradene dielmi z neaktivnych zliatin. Specialne vyvinuli spiralu nepokoja zo zliatiny niobu a zirkonia, gulicky v loziskach su sutrikove miesto ocelovych, vojenska verzia sa kompletizuje v priestoroch bundeswehru, nie u vyrobcu atd atd. Netusim co vsetko je alebo nie je v civilnej verzii, iwc odbornici doplnia. Zaujimave su pribehy o tom ako vyvijali antimagneticky strojcek, merania uprostred zahrad a lesov /mimo najmensich magnetickych poli/ a podobne. treba pogooglit.

 

Btw, prve titanove divery ma na svedomi Seiko, je to model 6159-7010, vysiel na trh v r1975. Obrazok lepit nebudem, nech to tu neplevelim
