THE DIAL Porsche Design ensures a quick reading the dial of both new chronographs with a highly visible red 60 in the minute scale . This perfectly matches with the red color of the chronograph stop hands as well as the word ‘ flyback .’ In addition , the watchmaker ’ s designers have widened the markings of the small hour display for whole hours as compared to the half-hour markings .
The Chronograph 1 – 911 Dakar Rallye Design differs from the Chronograph 1 – 911 Dakar only with the colorful graphic within the running seconds aperture at 9 o ’ clock . Its white , blue , gold , and red lines represent the colors on the modified Porsche 953 that won the Rallye in 1984 .
Porsche Design designed the watch ’ s rotor to match the Porsche 911 Dakar rims , and makes them available for the watch in either black satin or solid white . For the Chronograph 1 – 911 Dakar , the winding rotor is also available in Vesuvius gray .
Porsche Design fits its COSC-certified Porsche Design WERK 01.240 movement into the watch . This excellent in-house caliber features a flyback function that combines starting , stopping , and resetting in a single operation . The movement is visible through a titanium caseback and clear sapphire crystal . Each watch will bear an engraved limitation number on the caseback to match the number on the owner ’ s automobile .
As on all Porsche Design watches , the new chronograph allows straps to be changed without the use of tools . Porsche Design makes the watch ’ s handsome strap of black leather with contrast stitching in Shadegreen , the same hue found on the seat middle of the Porsche 911 Dakar . For the Chronograph 1 – 911 Dakar Rallye Design Edition the stitching is made of Race-Tex in Shark Blue .
