German sports car company Porsche turns 75 this year, and to celebratePorsche Designhas created a special watch, limited to just a few hundred examples. The timepiece is a special version of the company’s existing Chronograph 1, which first arrived back in 1972 and was the first product to come from Porsche Design.

In a nod to Porsche’s motorsport history, the watch has a tachymeter scale around the circumference of the bezel which can be used to calculate the average speed of an object travelling a known distance – such as a car travelling a mile or completing a lap of a race track.
The rear of the watch is where things get interesting, thanks to a sapphire exhibition case back showing off the watch’s automatic movement and its rotor, which is designed to look like the iconic Fuchs alloy wheels of a classic Porsche 911. A coloured Porsche badge at the centre, and the individual number of the watch engraved into the case, completes the look.

Titanium is used for the case of this special edition watch (instead of stainless steel), and it is presented on a specially developed textile leather strap with blue stitching and a central red stripe. A black leather strap with matching stitching is also available, and both use a quick-change system so they can be swapped easily without tools.
