Special Edox Limited Editions with a touch of mystery
Posted 8 May 2020 by MiriamEdox is one of the few remaining family-owned Swiss watchmakers. A company with experience dating back to 1884. It is therefore not surprising that very special watch designs sometimes emerge from their rich archives. In the well-known Chronorally and SkyDiver series, two exclusive Limited Editions have been released, which are rooted firmly in the present with respect for the past.
The exciting Edox Chronorally X-Treme Pilot
The FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy is an exhilarating race competition on mixed surfaces. Man and machine work together as one in a race against time, their rivals and the elements. This invincible spirit inspired Edox as the FIA's timing partner to develop the tough and sporty Chronorally X-treme Pilot.
The watch exudes the energy of rallycross in everything. 48 mm in size, with prominent chrono pushers that allow the split-time chronograph to be operated even with racing gloves. The hand-polished case is made of titanium, a light and scratch-resistant material, making this sturdy watch weighs only 130 grams.
The green dial with yellow accents and the large date window is inspired by the dashboard of a rally car, and matches the yellow stitched leather strap perfectly. Thecase back, decorated with a car wheel, adds an extra dimension.
Of course, the finish of the Chronorally is to perfection: the hands are coated with strong Superluminova for extra readability in the dark. And, only 555 pieces of the Chronorally X-treme Pilot were made, which further emphasizes the exclusive character of the watch.
The Mystery of the Edox SkyDiver Military
The history of the SkyDiver is surrounded by mystery. Rumour has it the classic 1973 design - which was recovered in the archives - was developed in deepest secrecy for the elite troops of a mysterious Swiss colonel. Whether this is true or not, it is certainly a good story and it has brought us a beautiful new watch.
The SkyDiver Military combines 135 years of watch experience with military history. The 30 ATM waterproof automatic watch features a scratch resistant ceramic diving bezel and a grey military nylon strap.
The extra thick sapphire crystal and the Superluminova X1 on hands and indices guarantee scratch resistance and readability under the most extreme conditions, so that even the modern paratrooper can work with this watch with confidence. The parachute-motif-engraved rear lid completes the design.
This special Military SkyDiver 80115 3N VD is limited to 555 copies and comes in a special box with an extra stainless steel strap.
