Minimalist design with focus on function
The 1919 SubSecond focuses on structural clarity: a round titanium case, openworked lugs for visual lightness, and a virtually borderless dial for maximum clarity. The case measures 42 mm, but the reduced design makes it appear significantly slimmer. Thanks to titanium, the watch remains extremely light and comfortable to wear – even for extended periods.
The dial is deliberately flat and available in muted colors such as black, anthracite, or silver. The small seconds dial at 6 o'clock is set in a separate recess—a fine detail with added functional value. Slim indices, clearly defined minute rings, and delicate hands underscore the understated elegance. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the display from scratches and reflections.
Depending on the model, the watch is paired with a titanium or leather strap that ergonomically fits the wrist. The clasp is flat, secure, and unobtrusive – just like the watch itself.
Mechanics with a classic look
Inside is a high-quality automatic movement – usually an ETA 2895 or Sellita SW261 – specially adapted for the off-center seconds display. It offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and smooth, reliable running. The SubSecond is designed not for effect, but for substance: It combines traditional mechanics with a modern case design – with a clear focus on durability and precision.
Some versions feature a transparent sapphire crystal case back, revealing the brand's signature rotor with Porsche Design engraving. The mechanism is robust, easy to maintain, and unobtrusively high-quality – in keeping with the spirit of functional watchmaking.
A watch for purists with a sense of style
The Porsche Design 1919 SubSecond is aimed at watch lovers seeking something special in minimalist design. It is quiet in its appearance, yet distinct in its attitude: technically clear, visually balanced, and without fashionable embellishment. A watch that doesn't push itself into the foreground—but rather impresses with its attitude.
Anyone looking for a mechanical watch that combines classic watchmaking, modern design and clear function will find an uncompromisingly harmonious model in the 1919 SubSecond.
