Male watches EDOX Sportsman Chronographe Automatic Limited Edition 08202-3BU-BUIN

Edox Sportsman 08202-3BU-BUIN - a limited piece produced only in a quantity of 600 pieces for the whole world. It is the return of a racing icon.

The roar of engines, the smell of burning rubber, palpable excitement in the air – the 1970s were the golden age of motorsport, an era when racing legends etched their names into history. It was a time when every corner, every overtake and every victory was etched into the souls of those who lived and breathed speed.

In this spirit, the manufacturer Edox introduced re-editions of the EDOX Sportsman Chronographe Automatic watches. Inspired by the famous motorsport heritage of the 1970s and the original 1972 model, these watches embody the competitive essence and elegance of this legendary age, while also celebrating the 140th anniversary of EDOX.

As a tribute to this enduring legacy, the new Sportsman models mark this milestone with an anniversary logo subtly engraved on the rotor, visible through the transparent case back.

The original model was already an icon, but these 2 new models take it even further. They retain the retro charm of the dial with subtly positioned chronograph sub-dials, complemented by carefully designed indices and hands that pay homage to classic style while offering significant improvements. Features include a reliable automatic movement, increased water resistance, improved legibility and versatile wearing options with both a genuine leather strap and a Milanese-style steel strap.

One of the sub-dials highlights the partnership with BMW M Motorsport with its colour combination. Another element that attracts attention is the watch case with a diameter of 41 mm. An ode to the original design, its brushed and polished details create a captivating surface that makes this watch truly exceptional.

When you wear the EDOX Sportsman Chronographe Automatic, you are not just adorning a watch; you are embracing the heritage of 1970s motorsport and carrying the promise of excellent performance.

The watch case is made of stainless steel, as is its strap. Inside the case, the Swiss mechanical movement caliber EDOX 082 works reliably, based on the Sellita SW 510 BH b movement with automatic winding. It operates at a frequency of 28800 vibrations per hour and has 27 jewels and, above all, an extended power reserve of 62 hours. The operation of the movement can be observed through the transparent case back.

The elegant yet clear blue dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which is maximally resistant to scratches.

The hands and indices are coated with a luminescent layer, which ensures longer luminosity and better legibility even in poorer lighting conditions.

The water resistance of the watch is 300 m (30 ATM), so it can handle any contact with water. Water resistance is supported by a screw-down crown.

The watch is delivered in special packaging on a steel strap and also includes a second strap made of quality brown leather.
