To honor this milestone, [Porsche Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-design-x-hodinkee-chronograph-1) created a special Chronograph 1 watch and honors the legendary Porsche 911 S/T 2.4 model from the 70s. The watch is [limited with only 1,963 pieces made](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1967-shelby-mustang-gt500) -- each one is a symbol of the legendary Porsche 911. The timepiece is designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, who is the founder of Porsche Design. It has a [light and uncoated titanium case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chronograph-air-1), which is done to represent the lightweight design idea of the entire car. It has a black dial and bezel ring to reflect the historical display of the car.
