Porsche Design Chronograph 1 F.A.T. 2025 Edition – Fully-Lumed Ice Race Chronograph

Porsche Design continues its long-standing association with motorsport through its latest limited-edition timepiece. The Chronograph 1 F.A.T. 2025 Edition is a new interpretation of the classic Chronograph 1, drawing on the inspiration of the Ice Race. This model is presented in a fully luminescent finish and is developed in partnership with F.A.T. International, a name with historical ties to motorsport events and racing achievements.

Motorsport Heritage

The designation F.A.T. originates from a French logistics firm that, in the early 1990s, set out to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Collaborating with Porsche and ex-racing driver Joachim Dauer, the firm was instrumental in returning the Porsche 962 to the track, achieving overall victory at Le Mans in 1994. More recently, Ferdi Porsche has revitalised the F.A.T. International brand as part of a modern motorsport community, lending his name to events such as the Ice Race in Zell am See and the reopening of the “Mankei” hut on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road.

Design and Construction

The 2025 Edition maintains the design lineage of the Chronograph 1 while introducing a contrast in colour. The watch features a blacked-out titanium case and bracelet, both finished in a bead-blasted style with a titanium carbide coating. Measuring 40.8 mm in diameter and 14.15 mm in thickness, the case includes a screw-down crown and a secured, screwed caseback. A sapphire crystal with a sevenfold antireflective coating covers the dial, and the timepiece offers a water resistance of 100 metres.

The Fully-Lumed Dial

A key feature of this edition is its fully luminescent dial. Coated in Super-LumiNova, the dial presents a predominantly white surface with black printed markers, indexes, and tracks, providing strong contrast during daylight. At night, the luminescent coating allows the dial to emit a clear glow. Additional details include a silhouette of a Porsche 962 integrated into the chronograph hours counter and the F.A.T. International logo positioned under the day-date window. The day display has been modified so that the weekend indicators are replaced with “F.A.T.” in red.

Movement and Technical Details

The Chronograph 1 F.A.T. 2025 Edition is powered by the proprietary Porsche Design calibre WERK 01.240. This automatic, COSC-certified, flyback chronograph movement is based on the Valjoux 7750 architecture, operating at 4 Hz with 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a 48-hour power reserve. The movement supports functions such as hours, minutes, small seconds, a flyback chronograph, and a bilingual day-date display. The watch is fitted with a titanium bracelet that includes a folding clasp with fine adjustment and utilises a quick-change mechanism. In addition, two extra straps are provided: a white textile strap bearing the F.A.T. Ice Race badge and an exclusive purple textile-leather “F.A.T. Mankei Strap.”
