The case of the Chronograph 1 – 50 Years 911 Turbo Edition is made of ultra-light and durable titanium and finished with a scratch-resistant, black titanium carbide coating. Another highlight is the open case back with sevenfold anti-reflective sapphire crystal. In addition to the limited-edition number (XXX/500), the iconic Turbo lettering can also be found on the case back, framed by the years 1974 and 2024. The lettering and limited-edition number are also engraved on the plaque that comes with the exclusive limited edition box.

The dial of the Chronograph 1 – 50 Years 911 Turbo Edition forms a direct bridge to the instrument panel of the first 911 Turbo with three totalizers. As in the cockpit of the legendary sports car, the white hands and indices as well as the striking red stop-second hand in combination with the matt black dial and the sevenfold anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensure optimum readability.

The beige-colored textile leather strap features a quick-change mechanism with a black velcro fastener and black loops. The soft, black material is reminiscent of the carpet of the Turbo interior and ensures outstanding wearing comfort. The choice of color for the strap pays homage to the metallic beige paintwork and the full leather interior of the first 911 Turbo. A distinctive badge on the strap at the 6 o’clock position displays the iconic Turbo branding, which can also be found on the back of the backrest of the vehicle seats. It makes it clear that this timepiece was developed specifically for Turbo enthusiasts. The additional titanium strap with black titanium carbide coating rounds off the scope of delivery.
