REC - Porsche 901 - Orange & Black
by REC Watches
The PORSCHE 901. Rebuilt and reborn from the chassis of a classic Porsche 911, this wristwatch is the epitome of creative passion and fearless experimentation from Rec Watches.
The '901' was the original name of the Porsche model before Peugeot sued Porsche. Peugeot had licensed any model name with the 3 numbers, and specifically the 0 in the middle - for example 306, 408, and 901. By that time, Porsche had already manufactured the badges for their cars, and cleverly decided to drop the 0 and double the 1. Now the 911 is legendary in the minds of motor enthusiasts around the world. We think it's more catchy anyway!
