The Birth of an Idea
Adrian travels to Zell am See to explore F. A. Porsche’s function‑first mindset and how it shaped the Chronograph 1.
The Chronograph 1 – All Black Numbered Edition.
The world’s first matte black chronograph.
The Chronograph 1 – All Black Numbered Edition stays true to the heritage of the original 1972 model designed by Prof. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. Made in Switzerland, the watch inspires those like Orlando Bloom, that share his two great passions: Automotive engineering and timekeeping.
More straps. More individuality for your wrist.
Four strap variants crafted from original Porsche vehicle leather expand the Chronograph 1 collection with new colors and individual styling options. Inspired by the interior of the Porsche 911, Guards Red, Classic Cognac, Dark Night Blue, and Black create an even stronger connection between sports car and timepiece.
More straps. More variety. More Porsche fascination.
