Edox Sportsman Chronographe Automatic: The roar of engines, the scent of burning rubber, the palpable thrill in the air – the 1970s were the golden age of motorsport, an era where racing legends carved their names into history. It was a time when every turn, every overtake, and every victory was etched into the souls of those who lived and breathed speed.
In this spirit, EDOX introduces the reissues of the Sportsman Chronographe Automatic watch. Inspired by the glorious heritage of 1970s motorsport and the original model from 1972, these watches embody the competitive essence and elegance of that legendary age while also celebrating EDOX’s 140th anniversary.
As a tribute to our enduring legacy, the new Sportsman models mark this milestone with the anniversary logo delicately engraved on the rotor, visible through the transparent caseback—an elegant nod to our 140 years of excellence.
The original model was already an icon, but these new models take it even further. They retain the retro charm of the dial with subtly positioned chronograph sub-dials, complemented by meticulously designed indices and hands that pay homage to the classic style while offering significant enhancements. Features include a reliable automatic movement, increased water resistance, improved readability, and versatile wearing options with both a genuine leather strap and a new mesh bracelet.
Highlighting our partnership with BMW M Motorsport, one of the sub-dials proudly dons the distinctive colors of this iconic collaboration. Another element that captures attention is the 41mm diameter watch case. An ode to the original design, its brushed and polished details create a captivating finish, making this watch truly exceptional.
As you wear the EDOX Sportsman Chronographe Automatic, you’re not just adorning a timepiece; you’re embracing the legacy of 1970s motorsport, and you’re carrying the promise of outstanding performance.
Every time you glance at your wrist, remember those legends of the past who gave it their all on the track, and let it inspire you to push your own limits.
