Quick TakeThe Chronograph 1 – 50 Years 911 Turbo Edition is much more than a timepiece; it's a wearable testament to Porsche's engineering prowess, both on the road and on the wrist. The robust, blacked-out titanium case, evoking the sleek lines of the 911 Turbo, encases the COSC-certified WERK 01.240, a high frequency movement. It's not just pretty movements though, the practical flyback function emphasizes a dedication to precision timing. The Fuchs-wheel-inspired rotor is visible through the sapphire case back, providing a direct visual link. Details like the "turbo" script badge on the strap and the matte black dial, reminiscent of the 1972 original, add a nostalgic aura. This watch doesn't shout; it whispers of speed, precision, and a heritage deeply entwined with one of the most iconic sports cars ever created. It's mechanical artistry and car culture distilled, ready to be worn by connoisseurs.

DescriptionThe Porsche Design Chronograph 1 – 50 Years 911 Turbo Edition, reference WAP0710180S50Y, embodies a fusion of automotive and horological engineering. Its case, measuring a substantial 14mm x 28 mm x 14 mm, has an overall weight of 200g. Construction utilizes titanium with a glass bead-blasted finish, further enhanced by a black titanium carbide coating for added durability. The case back is secured via a threaded design and crafted from sapphire glass, bestowing a view of the intricate internal mechanisms. Water resistance is rated to 10 bar, which makes the chronometer suitable for surface swimming. The threaded crown maintains the water tight integrity of the case.

Powering this chronograph is the Porsche Design calibre WERK 01.240, a self-winding, energy-optimized automatic movement. Its architecture incorporates 25 jewels, contributing to reduced friction and improved longevity. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), the WERK 01.240 offers a power reserve of 48 hours. The movement's diameter measures 30.00mm, with a height of 7.90mm. It offers a key feature: the flyback function. This function allows for the rapid resetting and restarting of the chronograph with a single push, beneficial for timing consecutive events. The movement is further distinguished by its COSC certification, affirming its precision and adherence to rigorous chronometric standards. The winding rotor has a design and finish reflecting that of the classic Fuchsfelge® (Fuchs wheel) used on the original 911 Turbo (G model). A sapphire crystal, treated with a seven-fold anti-reflective coating on both sides, protects the dial. This ensures optimal readability by minimizing glare under various lighting conditions. Furthermore, the crystal features a hard coating, enhancing its scratch resistance. The dial presents a matte black design, drawing inspiration from the 1972 original, and incorporating a tachymeter scale for speed calculations. The chronograph includes an interchangeable strap system. Included are both a black titanium bracelet and a beige textile/leather strap. The additional strap also provides a stylistic nod to the 911 Turbo with a badge showcasing the car's original badged script.
