100 pieces is truly a Limited Edition from Chopard
Traditionally, limited editions in horology did not exceed 100 pieces.
It is good to see Chopard keeping with tradition but bad for the Porsche and Jacky Ickx fans.
Already, I know that 5 pieces have been snapped up on Day 1......actually Minute 1.
The dial silver and blue colours and textures are more vivid in real life but this photo is pretty close.

Thenks Jed for the news!
I like the dial and I consider it as a nice evolution of the 919. Fx
As do I, Fx.
The colors are nice, and I like that the hours and minues subdials are distinct from the seconds. Best, CaliforniaJed

Thanks, CJ, appreciate the write up and candor.
The dial and case has been well received, looking forward to seeing one "in the metal"
Great looking watch!
They really captured both the spirit of Porsche and Jacky Ickx! :) A big thumbs up for this watch and a extra thumb for making a complete different look compared to the Jacky Ickx Limited Edition! Here are a couple of shots I managed to take when I had th...
Thanks for the news Jed!
This new Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Jacky Ickx watch is a nice sporty design IMO. Love the red subdial hands and the bezel nuts. The design team is moving in a good direction with this model. Cheers, Anthony

Jacky Ickx Limited Edition
I have the Chopard's Jacky Ickx Edition 4 and treasured it, but I don't quite understand why Chopard removed the famous 24 hours chrono register as appeared on all Jacky Ickx Limited Edition?
NOT a Chopard Jacky Ickx Limited Edition
ianmar2112 I'm sure you and others are now reaching for the keypad to write letters of protest :-) What? Not a Jacky Ickx Limited Edition? What is the moderator smoking? Don't panic. Take the Blue Pill; everything will be alright. Note carefully that this...
