718 Spyder RS Watch by PORSCHE DESIGN SKU: SKUPD718RSWATCH

MOTOR SPORT TECHNOLOGY FOR YOUR WRIST: LIGHT WEIGHT DESIGN MADE OF TITANIUM. The Porsche 718 Spyder RS is designed to be as lightweight as possible, for adrenaline-filled agility. The 718 Spyder RS Chronograph also makes light work of it, thanks to its lightweight titanium case. The chronograph can also be customized, just like its motorized counterpart. The bezel with minute display or tachymeter matches the color of the case and is available in natural titanium or Black titanium. The colored ring can also be adapted to your personal taste – with the full selection of 718  Spyder  RS standard, metallic and special colors; with an additional 114 “Paint to Sample” options, including numerous historic colors.

The “RS” carbon dial and the “GT ” dial in Black provide enhanced spor tiness — including Flyback let tering and an “M” and “H” in Racing Yellow for the minutes and hours. The mechanical gear indicator at 9 o‘clock accentuates the motorsport heritage of the 718  Spyder RS with a checkered flag design and dynamic “Spyder RS” let tering. The “Spyder RS” lettering also adorns the badge that you receive with your Chronograph 718 Spyder RS in an exclusive product package. When you buy a 718 Spyder RS with the Weissach package and the matching chronograph, a “Weissach RS” graphic with a stylized test track from the Weissach development center graces the noble metal.

THE CASE BACK REVEALS ITS RS HERITAGE: A ROTOR IN THE WHEEL DESIGN. The design of the Chronograph 718 Spyder RS isn’t the calm before the storm — it maximizes the anticipation of the next corner. All it takes is one glance at the rotor, which enjoys optimal protection under a clear, sevenfold anti-reflective sapphire glass viewing window. The 718 Spyder RS Chronograph is an impressive piece with a rotor in the Spyder RS wheel look. The back of the Chronograph 718 Spyder RS with Weissach Package is crowned by a rotor in the style of lightweight magnesium alloy wheels. In the center of both rotors, which are each available in the colors of Brilliant Silver, Aluminum (satin finish), Dark Silver, Neodyme, Indigo Blue, and Black: the end cap with the “RS” logo in Brilliant Silver. For even more individuality you can find more model-specific rotor colors in our watch configurator. Additionally, you can choose up to 12 characters to be engraved on the back of the chronograph. Using the configurator, you can also add personalized text to be engraved on the accompanying plaque, such as the vehicle identification number of your 718 Spyder RS. 

CARE RATHER THAN HASTE : HIGH PRECISION MOVEMENT, COSC-CERTIFIED. Framed by a glass bead - blasted titanium back in the same color as the case, the Porsche Design Caliber WERK 01.200 is also COSC certified — a distinction only a warded to watches of the highest accuracy. Yet, the highest demands are the ones we place on ourselves. This means that without exception, each and every chronograph is checked once again for accuracy by the Porsche watch manufactory before delivery.  A  first-class standard of quality that is only natural for Porsche Design. The movement has a flyback function that unites starting, stopping and resetting into a single operation. The only disadvantage of a chronograph with such a high - precision movement – it shows you exactly when it’s time to finish your drive in the Porsche 718 Spyder RS and head home . 

OPTIMAL GRIP: ALSO ON THE WRIST. The most beautiful destination while driving an open Porsche 718 Spyder RS is becoming at one with the road and your surroundings. With its racetrack-tested GT chassis, the mid-engine sports car hugs the asphalt perfectly — just like the watch strap on your wrist. The leather straps underscore the close connection to the 7 18 Spyder RS with Black, smooth vehicle leather and Black Race-Tex, including contrasting stitching in Carmine Red or Arctic Grey and “Spyder RS” debossing at the 6 o’clock position. On request, the chronograph can also be fitted with high-quality metal bracelets made of titanium – just like the clasp. The motorsport character is also unmistakable when changing the strap. All straps* feature a quick change mechanism and a folding clasp with push pieces in the same color as the case, ensuring the shortest possible pit stops.

THIS IS NO EVERY DAY CA R . THIS IS NO EVERY DAY WATCH . At the beginning of the 1960s, Porsche continued to fur ther develop its successful concept of the legendary 550 Spyder and successor models with the 718 RS 60 Spyder – causing a sensation in several mountain and endurance races. With the 718 Spyder RS, this unique heritage can now be experienc ed on every journey. Tradition also plays an important role in the production of the 718 Spyder RS Chronograph. In the spirit of the creator and designer Prof. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, who once said: “If we wanted something, we had to do it ourselves.”

And so these extraordinary timepieces are created in a very special place – by hand and with gre at at tent ion to det ail – in the Porsche owne d watch manufactor y, founde d in 20 1 4 in Solothurn, Switzerland. This is where the expertise of sportscar designers and watch experts converge to create a perfect symbiosis between the two fields and, in doing so combine the highest aesthetic standards with unbeatable performance and precision craftsmanship. The result: exceptional watches that extend the fascination of Porsche far beyond winding coastal roads and demanding mountain stages.
