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.
New look for two icons.
In addition to the ultra-light, hypoallergenic titanium bracelets, four new variants made from genuine Porsche automotive leather are now available: Guards Red, Classic Cognac, Dark Night Blue, and Black. Altogether, the five strap options offer even more scope for individual style variations and enhance the wearing experience.
An Icon since 1972. Re-born with the latest technology.

On the back, the sapphire crystal case back provides a view of the mechanical movement and the Porsche Design icon winding rotor. The consecutive numbering is also laser-engraved on the titanium base.
Titanium has always embodied the technical DNA of Porsche Design timepieces—durable, lightweight, hypoallergenic, and consistently functional. As a high-tech material proven in Porsche motorsports, titanium finds its way into exclusive Porsche Design watches. The unique combination of lightness, durability, and performance makes this material the perfect fusion of motorsport technology and precision watchmaking.
Titanium carbide represents a new dimension of innovation in materials technology: even lighter than titanium, extremely strong, and highly scratch-resistant. Maximum precision meets technical aesthetics—designed to meet the highest standards on the wrist.
Pure Craftsmanship.
Discover the Chronograph 1 – All Titanium Numbered Edition. Uncoated and designed purely for function, this timepiece reinterprets the Chronograph 1 in natural titanium. Minimalist, clear, and distinctive—a new chapter in the Chronograph 1 line.
