The Chronograph 1 – F.A.T. 2025 Edition from Porsche Design

Porsche Design is flipping the script on its classic black-dial legacy with the all-new Chronograph 1 – F.A.T. 2025 Edition. Following its pioneering 1972 debut, when it disrupted the watch world as the first fully black chronograph, the brand now dives into a bright aesthetic twist. This time, the entire face is finished in white luminescent material, with dark markers and a bold red second hand—perfect for tracking split-second action on the racing circuit.

Limited to 136 pieces, the watch embodies a motorsport connection that’s long been embedded in Porsche Design’s DNA. By day, its sleek layout references the streamlined spirit of the Porsche 962; at night, the hour counter reveals a stealthy outline of that historic race car. The subdial at six o’clock hides the digits “9,” “6,” and “2,” evoking triumphant track moments. Meanwhile, the weekend indication swaps out “SAT” and “SUN” for “FAT” in bright red, hinting that free time is really about hitting the gas.

Housed in featherweight titanium with a subdued black coating, this timepiece takes its inspiration from the aerodynamic silhouette of Porsche’s legendary racers. Beneath the surface, the COSC-certified Porsche Design caliber WERK 01.240 keeps everything running with a flyback function that resets and restarts timing in one motion—vital for those who crave precision at high speed. Adding to its versatility, the watch arrives with multiple strap options: a crisp white textile band bearing a FAT Ice Race badge and a purple combo strap that nods to Porsche’s heritage on the Grossglockner pass.
