Porsche Design has creatively reinvented its iconic timepiece as the Chronograph 1 – F.A.T. 2025 Edition. This special edition watch, limited to only 136 pieces, represents a striking change from its usual design. The dial is fully coated with Super-LumiNova glowing white, providing exceptional readability in absolute darkness.
Originally released in 1972, the groundbreaking Chronograph I was a trailblazer as it represented the first completely black chronograph, modeled after the dashboard of a Porsche 911. Now, turning the tables on that tradition, Porsche Design has partnered with FAT International to create a watch honoring the rich history of motorsports. This timepiece boasts a bold white dial, highlighted by black indices, numerals and hands, preserving the iconic red stop-seconds hand for improved visibility – an important feature for high-speed endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Celebrating Porsche’s triumphant racing history, the Chronograph 1 – F.A.T. 2025 Edition tastefully blends historical motifs into its design. At night, the outline of the iconic Porsche 962 emerges on the hour counter, while the 6 o’clock subdial subtly reveals a “9,” “6” and “2” – a tribute to the champion racing car. The day display acknowledges FAT International’s impact by swapping “SAT” and “SUN” with the signature red “FAT,” turning ordinary weekends into exhilarating race weekends.
Wrapped in feathery-light titanium, boasting a matte black titanium carbide covering, this watch mirrors the streamlined sophistication of the Porsche 962. It operates on the COSC-certified Porsche Design caliber WERK 01.240 with a flyback function, ideal for accurate lap timing. The chronograph offers various straps, such as a white textile band adorned with a FAT Ice Race emblem and a purple textile-and-leather “F.A.T. Mankei Strap,” inspired by Porsche’s historic Grossglockner High Alpine Road.
Beginning on February 1, 2025, you’ll be able to purchase the Chronograph 1 – F.A.T. 2025 Edition for €10,936 EUR ($11,200 USD) through Porsche Design’s official online store and at chosen physical retailers.
