Porsche Design Chronograph 1 – 911 Dakar Ref. 6044.0.00.174.00.0, Titanium Carbide, Chronometer, Limited Edition, 2023

Porsche Design has always been about bringing the spirit of Porsche cars to the wrist, and the Chronograph 1 – 911 Dakar takes that idea further than almost any other watch. It was created for the Porsche 911 Dakar, the off-road 911 inspired by Porsche’s victory at the Paris–Dakar Rally in 1984. Like the car, the watch was limited to 2,500 pieces, and it could only be ordered by people who bought a 911 Dakar. That makes it one of the most exclusive Porsche Design watches ever made.

The 42,7 mm case is a world first. After five years of development, Porsche Design succeeded in making a chronograph case from titanium carbide, an extremely robust and highly scratch-resistant material that is even lighter than titanium. It is a fitting choice for a watch inspired by a car built for sand, gravel and rough terrain. Forty years earlier, Porsche Design had already been the first to make a chronograph in titanium, so this watch continues a long tradition of innovation.

The black dial follows the clean, functional design language of the Chronograph 1, with a speedometer-inspired scale and excellent legibility. The white markers and hands stand out sharply against the black, so the watch is easy to read at a glance, just like the instruments in a Porsche cockpit. Above the date at 3 o’clock, the “911 Dakar” lettering ties the watch directly to its automotive namesake.

Inside works the Porsche Design manufacture caliber WERK 01.240, a self-winding chronograph movement certified as a chronometer by the COSC. Through the sapphire caseback you can see the winding rotor, which is designed after the wheels of the 911 Dakar. The perforated leather strap reflects the interior of the car and can be changed quickly thanks to a quick-change system.

The watch dates from 2023 and is in very good condition]. It comes with box and papers.

"A quite cool chronograph made for the owners of one of the most special Porsches of recent years, and a true collector’s piece!"
