Chronograph 1 Utility – Ltd. Ed. for Hodinkee

The second chapter of a unique trilogy.In the world of exclusive timepieces, hardly anything unites people more than the passion for functional watch design. Porsche Design and Hodinkee are continuing their joint trilogy with the Chronograph 1 Utility – Limited Edition for Hodinkee. The second chapter transfers the functional requirements of historical military chronographs and transforms their requirements of legibility, reliability and robustness into a timepiece for demanding conditions. The completely redesigned Porsche Design calibre WERK 01.340 is the heart of the limited-edition timepiece, of which there are only 350 pieces. This calibre takes the characteristic operating principles of the legendary Lemania 5100 and brings them into the present in an innovative way. With its glass bead blasted titanium case and titanium strap, an additional BUND strap made of genuine Porsche vehicle leather and dynamic water resistance up to 10 bar, this chronograph clearly pursues the idea of utility. Not as an aesthetic, but as a reason to design a watch in the first place.
