Introduction

While the Porsche name might be best known for their incredible cars, Porsche’s design studio Porsche Design have an impressively long history in watchmaking too which goes as far back as the late 1970s when they entered into a 20-year agreement with IWC. When that agreement expired Porsche Design began to collaborate with Eterna on their timepieces. Founded on a rather understated aesthetic, Porsche Design’s offerings are rather unique, much like this 718 Spyder RS Flyback Chronograph ref. 6004.0.00.177.00.0. Made of PVD-coated titanium, its features a 42mm diameter case. Boasting a black dial with blue and yellow accents, Porsche Design achieved a wonderfully legible display by making the ref. 6004.0.00.177.00.0 a flyback chronograph. Sporting two chronograph subdials at 12 and 6 o’clock, and a running seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, the resulting display is dense with information. With a blacked-out aesthetic, the Porsche Design 718 Spyder RS Flyback Chronograph is fantastically sleek and flies under the radar, even when you consider its larger construction adding to its considerable wrist presence, and colorfully-accented dial adding to its character.
