I need to send a big thank-you to Manon Abplanalp - Eterna and Porsche Design's Public Relations Manager for sending these images and details about this new Porsche Design chronograph. This is the P’6612 Dashboard Le Mans 1970 Limited Edition. It was released this year to celebrate Porsche's first win in the 24 hours of Le Mans. It was forty years ago that German driver Hans Herrmann - a baker by profession, and Richard Attwood of England drove their red and white No. 23 Porsche Salzburg 917 KI to victory. It is difficult to imagine that Porsche's first Le Mans victory is now 40 years ago. In many ways Porsche has come to represent the ultimate in speed, performance and elegance, and this fantastic watch embodies that spirit.
So a happy 40th Anniversary Porsche, Mr. Herrmann and Mr. Attwood!
This series is limited to 917 pieces and comes in a pretty nifty package!
Crafted from titanium, Swiss self-winding movement, and probably one of the coolest leather straps I've seen in some time!
