Unstoppable Power. Unstoppable Rhythm.

Unstoppable Power. Unstoppable Rhythm.

To mark the world premiere of the new Porsche 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 with Touring Package, Porsche Design is presenting a matching timepiece that is perfectly tailored to the sports car and available exclusively to its buyers and owners. The Chronograph 911 GT3 and the Chronograph 911 GT3 Touring reflect the precision and dynamism of their motorized role models and continue the success story of Porsche and Porsche Design Timepieces in a unique combination of vehicle and watch.


 


Since its introduction 25 years ago, the Porsche 911 GT3 has embodied uncompromising performance, race-proven technology and exceptional driving dynamics. When it was first launched in 1999, it set new standards for road-legal vehicles. With its high-revving naturally aspirated engine and innovative motorsport technologies, it has continuously redefined the limits of what is possible ever since, achieving success both on the road and on racetracks worldwide. This includes numerous class victories in the world’s toughest endurance races, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and at the Nürburgring.


 


Precision and emotion – lap after lap


The case of the “sports car on the wrist” is made of ultra-light titanium and is available in a glass-bead blasted version or with an optional matte black titanium carbide coating. The functionality of the timepiece rivals the precision of a sports car: The Porsche Design caliber WERK 01.200 with COSC certification has a flyback function that can be used to stop, reset and restart a running time measurement at the touch of a button. The bezel can be fitted with either a pulsometer, tachymeter or minute scale. The pulsometer version makes it possible to measure the pulse mechanically – without a battery or disturbing magnetic fields.


 


 


The 911 GT3 on the wrist


The new GT dial with hexagonal structure ensures optimum legibility thanks to the clear design of the indices, a yellow ring and black rhodium-plated hour and minute hands with Super-LumiNova® luminous material. This design can also be found on the instrument panel of the 911 GT3 because the Sport Chrono GT additional instrument developed by Porsche Design exclusively for Porsche’s GT models matches the look of the chronograph. The hands of the chronograph can be configured in the colors Performance (white), Essence (black) and GT (yellow). The seconds disc at the 9 o’clock position is marked with the lettering “911 GT3” and a chequered flag design – a nod to motorsport. The customizable colored ring around the dial is available in the various colors of the 911 GT3 and the Touring Package as well as in the colors of the “Paint to Sample” program. This allows customers to personalize their vehicle and chronograph with a wide range of special colors. The colored ring, dial and hands are protected by a hard-coated sapphire crystal and are optimally legible thanks to the sevenfold anti-reflective coating on both sides.


 


The case back is also made of sapphire crystal, which has a sevenfold anti-reflective coating and is hard-coated. The chronograph is driven by a winding rotor that is based on the respective design of the rims of the 911 GT3 or 911 GT3 with Touring Package down to the last detail and is available in the respective colors, including California Gold, Brilliant Silver, Dark Silver and Black (satin). Owners of the 911 GT3 with Weissach Package or 911 GT3 Touring with Lightweight Package can also select the exclusive “911 GT3 Weissach Rotor”. The Black rotor cap is decorated with “GT3” lettering in Brilliant Silver or a two-tone Porsche Crest.


 


 


Customizable strap made from vehicle leather and yarn


The strap of the Chronograph 911 GT3 or 911 GT3 Touring is made of original Porsche vehicle leather and yarn and can be designed to match the individual configuration of the vehicle interior. An optional “GT3” engraving at 6 o’clock emphasizes the connection between vehicle and watch. The calfskin straps with titanium double folding clasp (in case finish) are available in various sizes and can be easily exchanged thanks to a quick-change mechanism. Alternatively, there is a titanium bracelet with a titanium folding clasp with fine adjustment in case finish (glass bead blasted or with black titanium carbide coating).


 


After customer-specific configuration and production by hand at Porsche’s own watchmaking manufactory in Solothurn, Switzerland, the chronograph can be received in an exclusive limited-edition box. A laser-engraved plaque with an individual engraving, matching the vehicle, completes the package.


 


The Porsche Design Chronograph 911 GT3 and the Chronograph 911 GT3 Touring will be available to order from end of the year from €10,250 (RRP) in Porsche centers and Porsche Design Stores worldwide exclusively to buyers of the new Porsche 911 GT3 or 911 GT3 with Touring Package.
