Porsche Design Chronograph 70Y Sportwagen PCA Edition
The Porsche Design Chronograph 70Y Sportwagen PCA Edition is special limited edition model designed only for the members of Porsche Club of America.
Each Porsche Design Chronograph 70Y Sportwagen PCA Edition, limited to 70 pieces, displays its engraved limitation number on the case back as confirmation of its exclusivity within the series. Powered by the new Porsche Design Werk 01.200, the first proprietary movement developed by the brand, this special timepiece illustrates watchmaking expertise from Porsche Design.
The highlight is its unique rotor in the shape of Porsche's iconic Fuchs forged alloy wheel. The Fuchsfelge, introduced over 50 years ago for the Porsche 911, is the most distinguished wheel for classic Porsche cars. In celebration of 70 Years of Porsche sports cars, Porsche Design received official approval to use the renowned alloy wheel shape. The spinning Fuchsfelge rotor generates power, shifting it to the Porsche Design Chronograph 70Y Sportwagen PCA Edition, just like the wheel transfers power to the car from the road. Forged perfection: now available on the wrist.
The COSC-certified chronograph features a flyback function housed in a 42 mm titanium case with black titanium-carbide coating –– a Porsche Design classic, providing maximum contrast and readability. The flyback complication historically links with motorsports, due to its ability to measure successive lap times quickly without resetting the chronograph function.
The black carbon-fiber dial is accented with white minute-markers and guards-red flyback and stop-seconds hands. A function display at 9 o'clock illustrates the "70Y Sportwagen PCA Edition" name of the timepiece on the rotating disc to indicate the working of the movement. Contrasting Club Blau and Guards Red stitching on the black leather and Alcantara strap make this watch an instant classic. A titanium double-fold-over clasp with black titanium-carbide coating and an integrated strap-changing mechanism add to the specialization of the strap.
Each timepiece delivers in limited edition packaging, which includes a special booklet and plaque showing both logos for '70Y' Porsche and PCA. Paying tribute to 70 Years of Porsche sports cars, Porsche Design engineered this timepiece exclusively for club members, because PCA is not only one of the oldest and largest clubs in the world, but it is also one of the most devoted, uniting passionate Porsche aficionados from all across the country.
The limited edition timepiece retails for $9,911.
