The watch case is made of titanium and measures 40.8 mm in diameter. It is combined with a matching bracelet, both with a striking black titanium carbide coating.

Tributes

It also incorporates details that pay homage to Hodinkee, such as the “1 Mile” graphic on the bezel, a nod to its main market in the United States. The day window alternates between English and Japanese, as a tribute to Hodinkee Japan, the brand’s first sister publication.

 

The heart of the watch is the Porsche Design WERK 01.140 movement, COSC certified, which offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. This limited edition of the Porsche Design Chronograph 1 – Hodinkee 2024 Edition is produced in only 350 units, each with a retail price of $9,650.
