Porsche Design Chronograph 1 - All Titanium Numbered Edition

6043.7.02.001.02.5

Ferdinand Alexander Porsche designed the Chronograph I in 1972 as the first all-black watch, inspired by the 911's dashboard, and in 1975 paired its black dial with a brushed, uncoated steel case, the basis for military models worn in the US Air Force and the Bundeswehr. This All Titanium Numbered Edition, from April 2026, recalls both that watch and Porsche Design's first all-titanium watch of 1980: a bead-blasted titanium case 40.8 mm across and 14.15 mm thick on a matching bracelet with a fine-adjust titanium clasp, rated to 100 m. The matte black dial has white numerals, lumed stick hands, a tachymeter on the rehaut and a bilingual day and date. Inside is the COSC-certified WERK 01.140, with a rotor shaped as the Porsche Design icon, behind a sapphire back whose titanium surround carries the serial number. Production is capped at 1,000 a year. It lists at $8,250 on the bracelet.
