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They were originally made as pocket watches with hand-wound mechanical movements and were the successor to the original 'marine chronometer' style sea-clocks of the 18th century, which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.
Multi-Layered Construction
The multi-layered dial features a unique moulded ceramic main disc which gives the Portsea a sense of depth and detail, capped off by classic blued hands with our signature "M" counter-balance.
The Portsea is completed by surgical grade 316L stainless steel casing, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal lens and robust leather straps.
