The Carrera’s signature typography appears on the left side of the limited-edition model’s case. This last feature-as well as the sub-register indices and hands, seconds hand, branding and an inner ring-are in blue, while cues from the 911 RS’s rims are cleverly integrated into the design. The steel version adopts the white-and-blue aesthetic of one of the most popular RS variants, offering a white opaline dial with rhodium-plated indices and hands, dual sub-registers, a sub-seconds counter, a date wheel at 6 o’clock, and an outer minute/seconds track. The watches incorporate Porsche 911 iconography, typography, and colors in a thoughtful manner, resulting in a product that, thankfully, never veers into kitsch. The watches, issued in a steel edition of 500 pieces and a solid 18K rose gold edition of 250 pieces, are housed in the contemporary 42mm Carrera case, they adopt the racing livery of two of the most popular RS colors, now called Glacier Blue (steel) and Guards Red (gold).
