Limited to 136 Pieces with a Glow-in-the-Dark White Dial
Porsche Design has introduced a new version of its iconic timepiece, the Chronograph 1 – F.A.T. 2025 Edition. This special watch is limited to only 136 pieces and features a unique fully white Super-LumiNova coated dial, making it easy to read even in complete darkness.
A Modern Twist on a Classic Design
The original Chronograph I, launched in 1972, was the first-ever all-black chronograph, inspired by the dashboard of the Porsche 911. Now, Porsche Design has flipped that design, creating a bright white dial in collaboration with FAT International to celebrate Porsche’s rich racing history.
The watch’s white dial is beautifully contrasted with black numbers, hands, and indices, while a red stop-seconds hand adds a sporty touch—perfect for timing during intense races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Hidden Racing Details
Porsche Design has added some special details to honor its motorsport legacy:
- In the dark, the outline of the legendary Porsche 962 race car appears on the hour counter.
- The subdial at 6 o’clock hides the numbers “9,” “6,” and “2”—a tribute to the Porsche 962.
- Instead of “SAT” and “SUN” for weekends, the day display shows “FAT” in bold red, symbolizing race weekends.
Built for Performance
The watch is made from ultra-light titanium with a sleek matte black finish, inspired by the aerodynamic design of Porsche’s race cars. Inside, it’s powered by the COSC-certified Porsche Design caliber WERK 01.240, which has a flyback function—perfect for precise lap timing.
It comes with multiple straps:
- A white textile strap with a FAT Ice Race badge.
- A purple textile-and-leather “F.A.T. Mankei Strap”, inspired by Porsche’s historic Grossglockner High Alpine Road.
Availability and Price
The Chronograph 1 – F.A.T. 2025 Edition will be available to order starting February 1, 2025. It’s priced at €10,936 EUR (around $11,200 USD) and will be sold through Porsche Design’s online store and select retailers.
