Porsche Design Chronograph 1 911 Edition: only for 911 Targa GTS owners 50th Anniversary of Porsche Design
Exclusively for owners of the Porsche 911 Targa GTS Edition 50 Years of Porsche Design, the manufacturer launches the Chronograph 1 911 Edition, a watch designed to match the car. Both celebrate the 50th anniversary of Porsche Design and draw on the past of the iconic 911 and Chronograph 1. The new Porsche Design Chronograph 1 911 Edition features a classic all-black appearance that can be traced back to Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. In addition, the watch is equipped with a flyback chronograph movement and a winding rotor that looks like a 911 Turbo S wheel.
All black titanium case The case is completely black and made of lightweight metal titanium. The diameter of the watch is 40.8 mm and the height is 14.5 mm. The design is similar to the recently launched Chronograph 1 – 1972 Limited Edition, which was inspired by the original 1972 model. The matte finish here particularly emphasizes the vintage character. On the back, a sapphire crystal caseback allows you to see inside. Here you can also find the restricted number that matches the owner's vehicle number. In keeping with the watch’s sporting inspiration, it offers 100 meters of water resistance.
High-contrast dial of the Porsche Design Chronograph 1 911 Edition The dial is black but has contrasting white hour markers. There is a ring around the dial with a tachymeter scale on it. The time is indicated by two rectangular hands coated with luminous material. In addition, the red chronograph hands protrude from the center. Corresponding counters are located at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Small seconds at 9 o'clock. There is a day and date display on the opposite side. Last but not least, the red “Flyback” inscription at 6 o’clock indicates the chronograph’s special functions.
Porsche Design Chronograph 1 911 Edition Engine The watch is powered by WERK 01.240 movement. It comes from the brand's manufacturing plant in Solothurn but uses a platform from supplier Concepto. However, the self-winding function here is taken care of by an oscillating weight that is reminiscent of the wheel of the 911 Turbo S model and is also finished in platinum. At the same time, this chronograph integrates the cam mechanism with an oscillating pinion clutch. As the red lettering on the dial indicates, this watch also offers a flyback function. In addition, the movement also has COSC Observatory certification, ensuring sufficient accuracy. Last but not least, Porsche Design decorates the movement with a black coating and a small print of the brand's logo.
The watch comes with a black titanium bracelet. It also offers micro-adjustment to ensure optimal wearing comfort. Alternatively, the chronograph can be worn on a black leather strap with a folding clasp.
