PORSCHE DESIGN 1919 GLOBETIMER UTC ALL BLACK
The replica Porsche Design Watches 1919 Globetimer UTC All Black is presented in obsidian shades with a dual time zone display ideal for overseas travel. Furthermore, it has a lot in common with Porsche cars, as Angus Davies explains.
In 1972, Professor Ferdinand Porsche had designed the Porsche 911, one of the most iconic cars in history, and founded his eponymous company, Porsche Design. From the beginning, the company has created a wide variety of products, but they all have one thing in common, sublime styling.
Throughout its history, Porsche Design has drawn inspiration from iconic cars built in Stuttgart. In 2017, Porsche Design Group became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Porsche. The stake acquisition coincides with the auto brand's announcement to "focus on men's lifestyle products."
In recent years, Porsche Design has released a number of timepieces with many design elements taken from Porsche cars. Some examples include a strap made of the same leather as the Panamera and a pendulum visible through the exhibition caseback, similar to the 911's wheel look. In fact, Porsche Design can even match the color of your chosen replica watches online to the color of your beloved Boxster. Cross-pollination of ideas can be easily seen.
However, the similarities between the two companies go beyond aesthetics. Over the years, Porsche has been testing prototypes in some of the harshest and most extreme conditions, from the sweltering heat of South Africa to freezing planes in Scandinavia near the Arctic Circle. In fact, the recently launched Taycan has been tested in 30 different countries and has been evaluated for around 6,000,000 kilometers. It's this rigorous evaluation process that brings the renowned reliability to every car that leaves the brand's Swabian factory.
Likewise, the Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC All Black complies with the onerous requirements of the Chronofiable test protocol. Trademark of Laboratoire Dubois, "Tests for watches and their components". They are designed to detect any design flaws and ensure good product reliability before release. Sound familiar?
Porsche Design released the 1919 Globetimer in 2019. The first models are available in titanium or 18-karat gold. The latter model comes with a black dial and leather strap, while the titanium model comes with a choice of strap or bracelet with blue, black or brown dials. The new Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC All Black features a 42mm titanium case with a black titanium carbide coating. The covert tone of the case extends to the dial and "black leather strap made of premium Porsche car leather".perfect replica watches
As the name suggests, this watch is equipped with a dual-hour function. The local time is shown by main hour and minute hands, while the main "domestic" time is shown by black hands with blue and white protruding tips. The Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC All Black differs from most GMT watches in that the local hands can be adjusted via a chronograph-style pusher on the right side of the case. Labeled with "+" and "-", the system is intuitive and reminiscent of the logical and ergonomic switchgear found in the 911. Very Porsche.
The day/night indicator is located near the 9 o'clock position and uses a white dot to indicate day time and a black dot to indicate it is night time. The 24-hour track is located on the flange, and the analog date indicator points to the track in the central area of ​​the dial.
The Porsche Design Calibre Werk 04.110 is the heart of the Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC All Black.

Porsche is synonymous with excellence. Most adults are familiar with the brand, and it's easy to talk about luxury and performance. But, as a former 911 owner, I can attest that Porsche is much more than that. It represents a magical blend of thoughtful design, smiling tactile touches and meticulous engineering. Even the air is filled with the alluring aroma of premium leather. These qualities can also be found in fine watches from Porsche Design, as this latest timepiece demonstrates.
Two years ago, Porsche Design introduced the 1919 Globetimer UTC, a GMT watch that offers smart functions, optimized legibility and easy-to-use operation. Wherever you go in the world, the twelve-hour hand can be reset to indicate local time at the touch of a button. Previously available in three different colour variants, this chronometer-certified timepiece will be available in all black this August. The timepiece features a black titanium carbide coating and a black leather strap made of Porsche Interior Leather – simple, sporty, and, as you’d expect from a Porsche Design watch, the ultimate in legibility.
Day and Night Updates - Worldwide
The 1919 Globetimer UTC All Black not only embodies a pure sports car feel on the wrist - it is also always ready to embark on a journey anywhere in the world. Derived from the simple and precise handling of the Porsche dual-clutch transmission, the display of the world's 24 time zones can be adjusted in 1-hour increments - without losing the current time display - at the push of a well-fitted button. Ergonomic buttons are embedded in the housing. Each press of this button advances the short local time clock one position clockwise. When flying east, each press of the "+" button advances the second time zone by one hour. When flying west, pressing the "–" button will move the UTC hand in the opposite direction. At the same time, the UTC hands move automatically, keeping in sync. To make sure this happens at midnight instead of noon, just set the time correctly once. A circular window on the left side of the dial helps with this task: a white dot appears here during the day, while the aperture remains black at night. Porsche Design has also taken into account the reference time indicated by the seconds hand, which has a distinctive luminous tip that is clearly legible. This hand rotates every twenty-four hours to show the home time. and a clearly legible hour hand with a unique luminous tip.

Always on the lookout - every second
Perfect legibility is another important feature. In order to display the time visually from any viewing angle, the radius of the dial is designed to be as large as possible, while the titanium case is made very slim. The balanced shape gives this watch its unique lightness, which is further enhanced by the sleek wrist strap. The colour contrast, unique hands, hour markers and numerals combined with the extensive use of non-radioactive Super-LumiNova luminous material minimises the chance of misreading even in poor visibility. In addition, a seven-fold anti-reflective coating and an additional hard-coat treatment protect the sapphire crystal.
The latest version of the 1919 Globetimer UTC All Black is also powered by the Porsche Design Calibre Werk 04.110. The movement is equipped with a genuine Porsche Design ball-type bi-directional winding rotor. It builds up a power reserve of 38 hours and its balance wheel has a frequency of 4 Hz. The front of the movement is equipped with an innovative time zone mechanism specially developed by Porsche Design and manufactured by Swiss complication specialist Dubois-Dépraz. These mechanisms undergo numerous long-term tests according to the exacting standards of Chronofiable® before starting mass production. Shock test candidates are subjected to shocks equivalent to nearly 5,000 times their own weight, and each button must withstand at least 10,000 switching cycles - far more than a watch can withstand, even under extreme usage conditions of. Each movement must also prove its timekeeping accuracy at the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) for fifteen consecutive days before it is hidden in the case. During the 15-day trial period, the movement must not lose more than 4 seconds per day, nor more than 6 seconds per day. During this period, the movement was tested in five different locations and at three different temperatures. The 42mm titanium case is water-resistant to 100 meters and has a black titanium carbide coating, which perfectly complements the black leather strap made of premium Porsche car leather. This combination not only ensures that the 1919 Globetimer UTC All Black is an indispensable travel companion, but also expresses a strong personality with its sheer monochrome design.wholesale replica watches
