The Porsche design reappears the all-black icon

Porsche Design has revised its Chronograph 1 – 1972 limited edition to the new Chronograph 1 all black numbered version earlier this year, a full-black titanium version of the historic design, which will be issued as a limited edition of 1,000 individually numbered.

New chronograph 1-1972 all black numbered version of Porsche design

Like the previous model, which sold out quickly in early 2022, the new 40.8 mm matte black titanium version echoes the size and design of the original 1972 model.

For both watches, the Porsche design mentions Chronograph 1, which has long been considered the first all-black watch. The company’s use of black PVD on steel (as well as the then-new Valjoux 7750 automatic movement) set the example for decades by sports watch makers around the world. Early examples of pioneer Porsche design automatic chronograph are highly collectible.

This new version differs from the previous model not only because of its unique number but also because it has a clear sapphire case back feature. There you will see the watch number and a clear view of the Porsche Design WERK 01.140 caliber and Porsche design icon winding rotor with COSC certification.

The rest of the specifications echo the previous version, especially the very clear dial inspired by the Porsche 911 dashboard. Its tachometer and day / date display use the current Porsche font while the minute hand reproduces the FA Porsche’s own tapered design.

The Porsche design will make the watch’s 40.8mm case and bracelet with the same high-performance titanium that it uses in almost all Porsche design timepieces today. And the new SuperLuminova will increase the visibility of the clock in the dark. All Porsche Design Timepieces are manufactured at Porsche Design Timepieces AG, the brand’s own timepiece-manufacturing facility in Solothurn, Switzerland.

Each watch comes in a black titanium detachable bracelet with matching folding clasps per minute.

The new Chronograph 1–1972 All Black numbered version of the Porsche design is set for release after 2022, but can now be pre-ordered at Porsche design sites as well as at Porsche design stores and selected watch retailers. Price: ,500 10,500.
