Last year’s gripping finale to the Edox Pole Position Championship proved beyond measure that just hundredths of a second do make a big difference - and that precision is all important.

2009 sees the independent Swiss Watchmaker, Edox - the official timekeeper to the Class 1 World Powerboat Championship - celebrating its 125th anniversary.

As homage to its first marine sport watches from the 1960’s, Edox is proud to present its Grand Ocean collection, consisting exclusively of mechanical watches with a maritime theme.

The new Grand Ocean Chronograph Automatic is captivating with its sporty, virile case in hand-polished stainless steel with three distinctive strap lugs. The Watch, assembled with intricate manual operations has a unique maritime presence that is emphasised by a virtually scratchproof domed sapphire crystal cover and is water resistance up to 10 ATM. And the generous diameter of 48mm makes it into an ideal, constantly present companion.

The new Edox Grand Ocean Chronograph is - appropriately - seaworthy in all waters.
