Porsche Design has announced a follow-up to its Chronograph 1 1972 Limited Edition timepiece with an exclusive wristwatch called the Chronograph 1 All Black Numbered Edition.
The updated model trades in the original watch's vintage logos and design details with Porsche Design's modern-day branding. However, the piece maintains the watch's all-black finish. In terms of features, the Chronograph 1 All Black Numbered Edition comes equipped with a 40.8mm titanium case and robust titanium strap with a unique quick-change system. Moreover, the luxurious timepiece features a titanium carbide finish and a unique power system; the watch is powered by Porsche Design's in-house COSC-certified WERK 01.140 automatic movement, which boasts an impressive power reserve capable of lasting 48 hours.
The Chronograph 1 All Black Numbered Edition will be available in a limited run starting November 2022.
