A great Porsche 911 is like a great watch: pure function in a tactile, powerful form. It’s the same reason we’ve always had an eye for the Porsche Design Chronograph 1.

In 1972, when F.A. Porsche designed the Chronograph 1, it was made as a practical tool. The dial draws from the gauges on that car’s dash, rendered to not only tell you the time but to help time everything from your fastest laps to a day-long road rally. While others have attempted the “blacked-out” concept, the Porsche Design Chronograph 1 was the pioneer in blending form, function, and readability.

“What Would F. A.
Porsche Have Modified
for Today’s Enthusiast?”

Like any true icon, it was so far ahead of its time that it sparked controversy upon its release. Word quickly got out, and Porsche lovers started clamoring for one to call their own. Eventually, the watch was released to the public and sold at Porsche dealerships, just like the 911 that inspired it.

Riffing on the original design, this time the 40.8mm wide and 14.15mm thick case and matching bracelet are rendered in super-durable, ultra-light titanium, and clad in a matte-black Titanium-Carbide coating. The watch keeps its iconic 6-9-12 subdial layout, with a 30-minute counter at the top, a 12-hour counter at the bottom, and running seconds at 9 o’clock.

The dial uses the old-school Porsche Design logo and font and features the legacy-spec “1 Mile” graphic rehaut, paying tribute to the U.S. market that Hodinkee calls home. The 'H' at 6 o’clock – the only reference to Hodinkee on the dial – is rendered in Porsche Design Red from 1972, drawn from the colors used for the “3H” models issued to the military.

The 2024 Hodinkee Edition also pays homage to the Porsche Design and Hodinkee fan community in Japan, where Hodinkee founded its first sister publication. That's why the day display at 3 o’clock is available in English and Japanese. With a click and a few rotations of the crown, the wearer can choose which language is displayed.

Like car lovers’ recent appetite for “backdated” Porsche to get a vintage 911 feel with a more modern spec, the Super-LumiNova® on the Chronograph 1 Hodinkee Edition has been given a retro-inspired hue, slightly darker on the dial indices than on the hands. It’s less stark and more classic, a subtle tweak that will make this new watch all the more familiar to lovers of the vintage Chronograph 1, who have become accustomed to how the original dials aged over time.
