A 50th Anniversary Model Boasting Porsche's Highest Quality

The first product under the Porsche Design name, and the world's first all-black wristwatch. The first chronograph, meeting Porsche's quality requirements and embodying its DNA, has been revived in 2022 as the "Chronograph 1 – 1972 Limited Edition" to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary, as a limited production item of 500 units.
This piece, commemorating the brand's 50th anniversary, reconstructs the design characteristics of the original model with meticulous attention to detail. The historic, early Porsche Design logo is inscribed on the dial and case back, and this design is replicated on the bracelet and crown, specially developed for this model.
The materials have been newly reinforced, with titanium used for the case and bracelet. This high-tech material, also used in motorsports, is extremely lightweight, highly durable, corrosion-resistant, and hypoallergenic, offering the highest quality and comfortable wear. Designed in accordance with Porsche's manufacturing process specifications and high standards, this piece is a "sports car for the wrist," boasting the same quality as its famous Porsche car counterparts.
