Edox Watches betting big on racing sports!

Edox, a renowned 125 year old Swiss Brand recently announced the WRC Chronorally timepiece for use in professional rally racing. In conjunction with the World Rally Championship, Edox has created an entire collection dedicated to the world's best rally drivers and their co-drivers.

The new Chronorally is the ultimate timepiece chosen by rally drivers, navigators and motoring enthusiasts alike. Whether competing or spectating, the Edox Chronorally is a sports timing instrument which can simultaneously measure elapsed time, accumulate stage times, recount/replay, whilst maintaining accurate standard time keeping functions. Essential as any onboard controls, the Chronorally sets the standard for those with a passion for motor sports. This instrument surely is an edge to enhance and cadence the race.

Edox is the official timing partner of the FIA world rally Championship and Class 1 World Powerboat Championship.

This WRC timepiece has umpteen functions, in addition to the standard display; the watch offers stage timing with an accumulated stage time, recount /replay mode, countdown mode and chronograph. All the functions are accessible by means of push pieces and the crown which with its outside design permits easy access for the gloved hands of a rally driver. The WRC Chronograph also boasts other rally-themed details like a raised caseback which represents a WRC wheel rim and a rubber wristband featuring a car tyre tread pattern.

The watch is operated with three pushers, and one crown. The red pusher, at 2 o'clock, starts and stops the different timing functions. The polished pusher at 4 o'clock, is for resetting the timers. The crown is used to set the time. And the big pusher, at 9 o'clock, switches between the different rally timer modes - Time, Race, Replay, T. time, Countdown, and Chrono. The ability to switch between different race timing modes, mechanically, is definitely rare. This particular version is made for rally racing, but it would definitely be cool to see this type of selector function on chronographs for other sports as well.

Edox Chronorally is a lethal combination for a passion of driving and a passion of horology. The watch sure has a tremendous dexterity; skills, passion and character which inherent elements of rallying.
