Chopard presents the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition dedicated to the new Porsche 919 Hybrid.

As Official Timing Partner Porsche Motorsport since the start of the season, Chopard was alongside the German team for its big return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Porsche was all set to win it’s 17^th victory in this course, but after 348 laps, their dream to finish first was shattered by a damaged powertrain. As Official Timing Partner and to mark the return of Porsche Motorsport to the World Endurance Championship, Chopard has presented the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition. The design of this COSC certified flyback chronograph is directly inspired by the design codes of the Porsche 919 Hybrid Racing car.

Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition is issued in a 919-piece limited edition.

This imposingly sized chronograph with its 45 mm-diameter case and flyback function beats to the pace of a mechanical Chopard 03.05-M calibre, chronometer-certified by the COSC.

Inspired by the new Porsche 919 Hybrid, the stripes on the dial evoke the racing car’s rear diffuser. Likewise, the “919” appearing in a red rectangle inside a 9 o’clock subdial is identical to the number of the Porsche racing cars. Finally, the rubber strap is inspired by slick tyres serving to negotiate bends at extremely high speeds.

The sapphire crystal of the see-through case back is engraved with the inscription “Official Timing Partner Porsche Motorsport”.

This sophisticated and powerful new Superfast chronograph proclaims a highly exclusive nature that is a perfect match for the legendary Porsche cars, since the new Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition from Chopard is produced in a strictly limited 919-piece series reserved for those who are quick off the mark!

Technical specifications

The Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition is powered by the automatic Chopard 03.05-M. With its 60 hours of power reserve, it is built to run way longer than the 24 Hours Le Manche.
