Quick TakeThe Porsche Design Sport Chrono Subsecond 42 is a subtle flex. Its titanium case, bead-blasted and polished, feels almost weightless, yet the inherent strength is undeniable. You could almost imagine it strapped onto the dashboard of a 911, ready to tackle a winding mountain road. This isn't a watch that screams for attention, but commands it with a quiet confidence, the anti-reflective coating on that beautiful sapphire crystal ensures a crisp view of the dial. The COSC-certified WERK 03.200 caliber, with its efficient PD-Icon rotor, is there to give you the time when you glance. The 38-hour power reserve isn’t groundbreaking, but you will always be able to put it on, even after setting it down for a day. The genuine Porsche leather strap connects to the titanium clasp that whispers quality, matching that feeling of driving a German engineering marvel, but is ready to be used everyday.

DescriptionThe Porsche Design Sport Chrono Subsecond 42, reference 4046901928018, is meticulously constructed, reflecting a commitment to precision engineering. The 42.00 mm diameter case is fabricated from titanium, chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. This titanium case undergoes a dual finishing process, incorporating both glass bead blasting and polishing, to create a refined, multi-textured aesthetic. The case back is a closed, threaded design, also manufactured from titanium, which contributes to the watch's overall structural integrity and its water resistance rating. This meticulous construction provides a watertight seal, tested to a pressure of 10 bar, making it suitable for surface swimming and related activities. The threaded crown further reinforces this water-resistant capability, creating an additional barrier against moisture ingress. This meticulous design ensures optimal protection of the internal movement against environmental factors.

At the heart of the timepiece beats the Porsche Design Caliber WERK 03.200, a self-winding mechanical movement. This caliber, developed in-house, features a diameter of 25.60 mm and a height of 5.60 mm. The movement's balance wheel oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), which is the standard for modern, high-precision timekeeping. The incorporation of 31 jewels within the movement minimizes friction between moving parts, enhancing both accuracy and longevity. The energy is supplied by the automatic system via a PD-Icon rotor. The watch possesses a power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound. The WERK 03.200 caliber holds COSC certification, a testament to its rigorous testing and adherence to stringent chronometric standards. The watch features a small second subdial at the 6 o'clock. The display is deliberately minimalist. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, renowned for its exceptional scratch resistance. This crystal has been given a seven-fold anti-reflective coating on both sides, enhancing visibility by minimizing glare and reflections under various lighting conditions. The strap is crafted from genuine Porsche vehicle leather, brown in color, and is secured by a titanium folding clasp with a pusher mechanism for convenient operation. The overall weight of the watch is 100g.
