Motochron - Porsche Speedometer dial wristwatches set - Unisex - 1990-1999

1992 Motochron Porsche Speedometer Watch Set of Four – Collection No. 0029/1000 Offered is a collection of four 1992 Motochron Swiss-made watches inspired by Porsche speedometer instrumentation, comprising designs identified in the original literature with the 356 S 90, 911 Carrera RS 2.7, 911 C2/C4 and 968. Each recreates the visual character of an automotive gauge through km/h scales, odometer-style displays and model-specific dial graphics. The watches are housed in their fitted Motochron presentation case, carrying a plaque marked Italy, 1992, Collection No. 0029/1000, and are accompanied by extensive period promotional material and Porsche Club Italia correspondence. Motochron’s literature originally describes a five-watch series limited to 1,000 complete collections. The 944 watch from that original five-watch series is not included. The watches are in very good condition and have new batteries, while the presentation case shows significant exterior deterioration. Please refer closely to the gallery for condition. * Four Porsche speedometer-inspired Motochron watches * 1992 numbered presentation: Collection No. 0029/1000 * 356 S 90, 911 Carrera RS 2.7, 911 C2/C4 and 968 designs * Swiss Made markings visible on all four watches * Model-specific speedometer graphics and odometer-style displays * Original fitted Motochron presentation case * Period Motochron/Diners Club collection literature * Period Porsche Club Italia correspondence * Original literature documents a 1,000-collection production concept THE FOUR WATCHES Watch 1 – Porsche 356 S 90 Perhaps the most visually distinctive of the four, this watch is based on the speedometer design identified in the accompanying Motochron brochure as belonging to the Porsche 356 S 90. Its black dial carries a green 0–200 km/h scale, with the numerals and graduation marks arranged exactly as one would expect from an automotive instrument rather than a conventional wristwatch dial. Two odometer-style number displays are incorporated into the face, reinforcing the illusion of a miniature speedometer. The dial is signed MOTOCHRON and SWISS MADE. A light-colored central hand contrasts with the black face, while the watch is housed in a polished-tone round case with a conventional crown at 3 o’clock and a black leather strap. The period brochure specifically notes the 356 S 90 in connection with Porsche’s 356 lineage and depicts a watch matching the green-dial example offered here. Watch 2 – Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 This black-cased watch corresponds to the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 design identified in the original collection literature. Its dial uses a black background with bold white graduations and numerals extending to 300 km/h, accompanied by a vivid red speedometer-style hand. A green indicator and headlamp symbol appear near 12 o’clock, while a red/orange marked area is visible around the 50 km/h portion of the scale. As with the other watches, odometer-style number windows form an integral part of the dial design rather than a conventional watch date display. MOTOCHRON and SWISS MADE are printed toward the lower portion of the dial. It is fitted with a textured black leather strap and dark buckle, maintaining the purposeful instrument-panel aesthetic. Watch 3 – Porsche 911 C2/C4 The third watch corresponds to the Porsche 911 C2/C4 instrument identified in the supplied Motochron brochure. Here the visual treatment becomes particularly clean: black dial and case, white speed markings, a bright red hand and a 300 km/h scale. The upper odometer-style display visibly reads 003600, an especially appropriate detail within this instrument-inspired design. The dial is signed MOTOCHRON and SWISS MADE, and the watch is fitted to a black leather strap. The accompanying brochure describes the relevant 911 as the then-latest evolution of the model and specifically identifies the watch design as “Modello 911 C2/C4.” Watch 4 – Porsche 968 The fourth watch represents the Porsche 968, again identified explicitly in the accompanying period Motochron material. Its black dial carries a bold white 300 km/h speedometer scale, a bright red central hand and odometer-style displays. The upper display visibly reads 000968, directly echoing the model designation within the gauge-style presentation. Like the other black-cased examples, it is signed MOTOCHRON and SWISS MADE and is fitted with a textured black leather strap. The Motochron brochure identifies the 968 as the newest Porsche represented in the original five-watch series and illustrates a corresponding watch with the same highly legible speedometer-derived graphics.
