PORSCHE DESIGN CHRONOGRAPH AUTOMATIC WATCH (6011.10.406.113 model.)

Established in 1972 as a subsidiary of the legendary Porsche automobile company, Porsche Design has a reputation for quality and precision. As a matter of fact, the company was the first to create a matte black watch, and the first to make a chronograph entirely of titanium. The Chronotimer series is made of titanium from head to toe, too. It features three separate subdials: one 30-minute counter, one 12-hour counter, and running seconds counter. At 3 o’clock is a date window, and around the bezel is a tachymeter scale for tracking speed and distance in a pinch. Powering all that function is an ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic movement with a 48-hour power reserve. Fitted with a sapphire crystal, each piece in the diverse collection is water resistant to 50 meters.

  • Don't forget 1.5% Cashback.

  • Ewww. Not an in-house movement.

      They could have used their inhouse movement. but you will need to put petrol in the watch

      I'm not a fan of this watch, but I would take this ETA movement any day over a movement made in house by a car manufacture especially with something as complicated as a chronograph automatic.

      • There's hardly any truly inhouse mainstream auto chrono movements anyway… I think Zenith, Omega and whatever Rolex uses in the Daytona. And ETA have an updated 7750 that is IMO not as good as a real 7750.

        The vast majority of auto chronos from say $1,000 to $10,000 is the 7750.

        • @tonyjzx

          Do you know how to identify an updated 7750 vs the earlier ones?

          I'm thinking it might be hard to do it for some watch companies that try to rebrand the 7750 to sound like its their own (like Junghans, Hamilton, etc).

          Thanks.

            @ihavok: They will say "ETA Caliber C01.211" which has a 6hr register at the 6 o'clock rather than a 12hr.

    • …and hence much easier and cheaper to service.

    Thanks, bought 5.

    Is there any coupon code to make the shipment free then? It's a deal-breaker

  • +2

    Looks meh tbh. But i'm not someone who would drop $2k on a watch, so my watch fashion sense is worth less than none.

    • +1

      you're not wrong. Its a slightly bland boring watch. For the Macan Cayenne owner rather than the 911 person.

      Granted this is cheap for what is a ETA7750 COSC rated titanium Swiss chrono.

      The 7750 movement itself is something like $500 usd and that's debateable whether Swatch are even wanting to sell movements any more.

      • More targeted at VW owners.

      • The 911 is about as understated as it gets…

  • +1

    Plus GST and duties. Drop declares full item values.

    1 year warranty wth

    • Yeah Drop most likely were able to source a pallet of these and dont want to bother with any post sales support more than the mandated 1yr…

    This watch is usually referred to as the Porshce Design Chronotimer Series 1. I believe it is COSC as swell. There is new one from a verified dealer on Chrono24 for ~$3600 AU, but you can get one for less on a ss bracelet. This seems like a pretty good deal if you're into the PD aesthetics and really want Ti. Personally, I wouldn't touch it without at factory warranty - this one is aftermarket and 1 year is well below the industry standard at this price range.

    You could get a Revue Thommen chronograph 7750 much cheaper.

      There's a slew of Tissots from under $600 usd off Jomashop that blow any 7750 away for value.

      Granted some of styling is compromised…

      https://www.jomashop.com/tissot-watch-t0974271605300.html

      To me this is absolutely acceptable if you want to delve into 7750 ownership.

      Its like a Ferrari, you're buying the engine, everything else comes for free.

    • I would like to see the Country of Origin detals

      • Ahh, Since this watch dates back to 2017 then it adheres to the current updated Made in Swiss rules.

        I dont have any doubt its truly majority made in Switzerland.

  • Hmm…little to no historical significance (in making watches), uses an off the shelf ETA movement and just slaps on a derivative design. I don't see a deal here, you'd find similar automatic chronographs with ETA movements from better/ more respected brands for less than $1.5k, including Seiko, Tissot, Longines and sometimes Tag Heuer.
    There is no way anyone has ever paid anywhere near retail price for this.

    • A 7750 in a Seiko?

      • Slightly misspoke, my point was more that you'd find equivalent chronograph movements in those other better brands. Obviously Seiko does in house movements.
        If you're after a 7750 based watch, there's plenty of models with them:

        • Fair enough!

          A Seiko in a Tag Heuer on the other hand…!

  • +1

    If I'm gonna drop a couple grand on a chronograph rather put another $1k in and get a Speedmaster, even if it's a little banged up. At least it won't depreciate like crazy and you're able to sell it far easier if you get sick of it.

    Thanks bought 12

  • Obviously not a watch guy. Good try tho.
