Porsche Design Reveals a Stripped-Down, Bare Titanium Take on The Iconic Chronograph 1 – 1975 Limited Edition

Creating a distinctive yesteryear vibe, Porsche Design brings forth a new timepiece that serves as a lighter, stripped-down interpretation of its iconic Chronograph 1 model. The Chronograph 1 – 1975 limited-edition watch showcases a minimalist look that encapsulates the stark and sporty design aesthetics the brand is renowned for. This vintage design features a 40.8mm matte-blasted titanium case that presents the brand’s signature stealthy, black color palette in a novel light. This is the first time non-Porsche car owners can access this bare titanium case.

The dial portrays a classic Porsche design- a Teutonically minimal and functionalist layout elevated by thoughtful graphic design. The brand’s signature hallmarks reign supreme in the finer details, featuring asymmetrical hour and minute hands, a mix of typefaces, and a Guards Red central chronograph seconds hand that exudes vibrancy amidst the neutral simplicity of the dial’s aesthetics.

This iteration is powered by the WERK 01.240 automatic chronograph movement. Cosmetically resembling the classic Valjoux 7750, this powerplant however commands superior modern functionality with features such as flyback chronograph functionality, COSC-certified chronometer accuracy, and a decently solid 48-hour power reserve at a 28,800 bph beat rate.

The Porsche Design Chronograph 1 – 1975 limited edition successfully juxtaposes past and present, offering a fresh facet to vintage timekeeping aesthetics while not forgetting to pay homage to the brand’s genesis and historical lineage. This uniquely minimalist design makes this piece a must-have for all luxury watch enthusiasts.
