The Porsche Design caliber WERK 01.240 is an automatic chronograph watch movement with chronometer certification by COSC.
In Porsche’s own words:
“The development and production of the chronographs by hand in the Porsche factory in Switzerland also ensures the highest precision and performance. This is where the expertise of sports car and watch experts converge. The outstanding Porsche Design Chronograph calibre WERK 01.240 with COSC certification consistently showcases this exceptional performance and the synergy between both fields.” –Source
And also this:
“The Porsche Design calibre WERK 01.240 ensures the highest precision and, thanks to the flyback function, makes it possible to measure consecutive times.” –Source
Rotor Design:
The rotor on the WERK 01.240 is designed to resemble Porsche Fuchsfelge forged wheels (aka Fuchs wheel).
