Porsche Design / GP Ice Race Chronograph 1
Unexpected hit this year for me, this turned out just lovely. Unfortunately, the nylon strap that comes with this edition is very long, and would be limited to use over a jacket (which makes sense for this variant). The removable end-link is great, though - just wish I could put other strap options on it, but the white nylon one is sewn on. Thankfully the bracelet is very good, and the whole thing is titanium so it wears very light on the wrist. Overall pretty sweet bit of kit all around.

I've always thought Porsche Design watches were absolutely stunning. The all titanium construction and legibility are awesome. Congrats on such a fine timepiece!

Thanks! Something about that old school "PD" logo hits the spot
I really like several of the Porsche Design watches, since they tend to have unique and interesting designs.
I have a Sinn 144 chrono which I think has a bit of a Porsche Design vibe to it, and not just because of the 7750 dial layout.
I have a vintage 1970s Le Jour Chronograph that I picked up recently in the Heritage Auction for a great price that kind of lives in the neighborhood of that original Porsche Design model - runs the manual Valjoux 7734 and case size of 40mm in black PVD stainless steel.

Love this, Sinn does an amazing job with this layout. Beautiful example you've got there!

Sweet! Love the manual wind, thanks for sharing!

This is the real reason I had to have one ;)
I've been wanting to buy a vintage PD watch for so long now, but it's hard to find one that is not either trashed or way out of budget. The new version looks like a very faithful reissue with some nice upgrades! Unfortunately, it's even farther out of budget though.
An absolute beaut of a watch!
How does it hold up so far? Height not too thick?
I love the Chronograph 1 design so much and they did a bang-up job with this one.
Have you seen their newest addition already?
