The Porsche 911 of watches? Meet the new 1919 Chronotimer Flyback Blue & Leather

Two years on from the original, Porsche Design has revealed a new addition to its 1919 Chronotimer Flyback collection Called the Blue & Leather, the new watch continues the ethos of the original Brown & Leather, in that it sees itself as the Porsche 911 of watches Drawing inspiration from the iconic sports car, the watch has a sporty look with sharp detailing and second markings that remind us of the Sport Chrono clock that sits atop a Porsche's dashboard.

The watch is driven by Porsche Design's own Swiss-made Werk 01.200 movement, complete with a complex flyback function, where the chronograph can be reset without first being stopped With a design harking back to the Chronograph I, introduced by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche in 1972, the new watch is a 42mm timepiece with a focus on clarity The strap is made from the same calf leather Porsche uses on the seats of its cars, while the red tips of the second and chronograph hands give the watch a motorsport feel.

The new Porsche Design 1919 Chronograph Flyback Blue & Leather is priced at £5,100 and is available now. . Source
