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

The new WRC Chronograph has many functions. In addition to the standard displays, it offers a host of new possibilities including stage timing with an accumulated stage time, recount/replay mode, countdown mode and chronograph.

All these functions are operated by means of the pushpieces and the crown, which, with its outsize design, is easily gripped by 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.
