CLASSIC MARINE STYLE
The Portsea collection represents our modern take on the classic 'Deck Watch' timepiece style, which is traditionally characterised by clean white dials and Arabic numerals enclosed by 'railroad' minute markers.
HISTORY
Deck watches were popular among navy and merchant sailors in the early 20th century, particularly in WW1.
They were originally made as pocket watches with hand-wound mechanical movements and were the successor to the original 'marine chronometer' style sea-clocks of the 18th century, which mariners used to calculate longitude by means of celestial navigation.
TRIPLE CALENDAR
The Portsea is powered by the Miyota Calibre 9122 'triple calendar' self-winding mechanical movement with day, date and month complications.
The Cal. 9122 also features a 40-hour power reserve and a higher 28,800bph beat rate for a smoother sweep of the second hand.
