This venture led to the birth of the Porsche Design Studio and, most notably, the PD01 watch. Around this time, Ferdinand discovered Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD), a cutting-edge process that transforms the coating material from solid or liquid to vapour under vacuum, before depositing it onto the substrate. The result is a robust, durable finish—an ideal match for the PD01, which Ferdinand affectionately dubbed the “Obsidian-Looking Watch.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor this venture, Ferdinand partnered with Orfina, a then-obscure watch brand owned by his close friend Umberto Maglioli—a star of the racing world with stints at Lancia, Ferrari, and Porsche. Maglioli, a two-time F1 podium finisher and winner of the 1954 Carrera Panamericana, concluded his racing career at Porsche Engineering in 1969. Their bond fostered a trust that extended beyond the racetrack to precision timekeeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOrfina became known for another reason—its iconic appearance on Maverick’s wrist in \u003ci\u003eTop Gun\u003c\/i\u003e. The 7176S is famed for withstanding 7G forces without any noticeable performance loss—such as those encountered while piloting an F-14 Tomcat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe present example, ref. 8190, also features the revered Lemania 5100 movement. The pilot chronograph is extremely legible, with orange accents on the chronograph hour, seconds, and running seconds hands. The movement came to us in great health, running at +2 s\/d, 285 amplitude, with a 0.2 ms beat error. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA super cool neo-vintage Orfina with a cult following. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orfina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56520596029826,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/9201\/0882\/files\/ORFINA8190MILITARYCHRONOGRAPH.jpg?v=1775050101","url":"https:\/\/falco-watches.com\/products\/orfina-8190-military-chronograph","provider":"Falco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
