Porsche recently unveiled a new iteration of the 911, which is known to be the lightest version yet to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the car. To honor this milestone, Porsche Design created a special Chronograph 1 watch and honors the legendary Porsche 911 S/T 2.4 model from the 70s.
The watch is limited with only 1,963 pieces made -- each one is a symbol of the legendary Porsche 911. The timepiece is designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, who is the founder of Porsche Design. It has a light and uncoated titanium case, which is done to represent the lightweight design idea of the entire car. It has a black dial and bezel ring to reflect the historical display of the car.
