STUTTGART, Germany,
July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In
celebration of 70 years of Porsche sports cars, the exclusive
lifestyle brand Porsche Design is presenting the Porsche Club of
America and its members with an exceptional limited edition
timepiece. The Porsche Design Chronograph 70Y Sportwagen PCA
Edition is a members-only-offering accessible to the Porsche Club
of America. Knowing the passion and dedication PCA members have for
classic cars, this masterpiece incorporates some of the most iconic
design elements, materials, and colors synonymous with Porsche and
PCA. Each Porsche Design Chronograph 70Y Sportwagen PCA Edition,
limited to 70 pieces, displays its engraved limitation number on
the case back as confirmation of its exclusivity within the series.
Powered by the new Porsche Design Werk 01.200, the first
proprietary movement developed by the brand, this special timepiece
illustrates watchmaking expertise from Porsche Design.
The highlight is its unique rotor in the shape of Porsche's
iconic Fuchs forged alloy wheel. The Fuchsfelge, introduced over 50
years ago for the Porsche 911, is the most distinguished wheel for
classic Porsche cars. In celebration of 70 Years of Porsche sports
cars, Porsche Design received official approval to use the renowned
alloy wheel shape. The spinning Fuchsfelge rotor generates power,
shifting it to the Porsche Design Chronograph 70Y Sportwagen PCA
Edition, just like the wheel transfers power to the car from the
road. Forged perfection: now available on the wrist.
The COSC-certified chronograph features a flyback function
housed in a 42 mm titanium case with black titanium-carbide coating
–– a Porsche Design classic, providing maximum contrast and
readability. The flyback complication historically links with
motorsports, due to its ability to measure successive lap times
quickly without resetting the chronograph function. The black
carbon-fiber dial is accented with white minute-markers and
guards-red flyback and stop-seconds hands. A function display at 9
o'clock illustrates the "70Y Sportwagen PCA Edition" name of the
timepiece on the rotating disc to indicate the working of the
movement. Contrasting Club Blau and Guards Red stitching on the
black leather and Alcantara® strap make this watch an instant
classic. A titanium double-fold-over clasp with black
titanium-carbide coating and an integrated strap-changing mechanism
add to the specialization of the strap. Each timepiece delivers in
limited edition packaging, which includes a special booklet and
plaque showing both logos for '70Y' Porsche and PCA. Paying tribute
to 70 Years of Porsche sports cars, Porsche Design engineered this
timepiece exclusively for club members, because PCA is not only one
of the oldest and largest clubs in the world, but it is also one of
the most devoted, uniting passionate Porsche aficionados from all
across the country.
"Porsche Design has created a technical masterpiece specifically
for our members to celebrate Porsche's 70th anniversary. Akin to
the cars we covet, it honors tradition, while offering advanced
technology." – Vu Nguyen, PCA
Executive Director.
"It is inspiring to see devoted Porsche enthusiasts gathering to
express their appreciation for the brand. Porsche is universally
important to so many people, which is why Porsche Club of America
exists. We truly value our relationship with PCA. Their continued
commitment and passion was our inspiration in specially developing
this exclusive timepiece for their members." – Dr. Jan Becker, Porsche Design CEO.
The Porsche Design Chronograph 70Y Sportwagen
PCA Edition will be presented to club members July 8th – 14th during the
2018 Porsche Parade at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Future owners will receive their
watches in September during a ceremony celebrating the
70th Anniversary of Porsche sports cars at the 2018
Porsche Rennsport Reunion VI. The limited edition timepiece retails
for $9,911. Pre-orders for PCA
members begin mid-July, 2018 at
