The term Turbo is more than a model name, it stands for the principle of superlatives. The fastest, the most exciting, in short: the best. On 6 October 1974, the Porsche 911 Turbo was presented for the first time at the Paris Motor Show – and made quite an impression with its technical excellence such as a top speed of 250 km/h and the unmistakable Turbo design, including a large rear spoiler and widened body.
Two years earlier, the success story of the Chronograph I began, which is based on the same principle of precision and performance. Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche later summed it up like this: 'My aim was to design a watch for the 911 driver.'
A goal he achieved in a unique way with the Chronograph I. The symbiosis of form and function convinced the newly formed group of Turbo drivers and enthusiasts in particular, who could now express their belonging to this exclusive community off the road as well. With the new and strictly limited Chronograph 1 – 50 Years 911 Turbo Edition, we are not only celebrating the anniversary of the unique 911 Turbo, but also 50 years of “sports cars on your wrist”.
