Although powered by an average (but still Swiss made!) quartz chronograph movement, the cheap replica Edox WRC X-Treme Pilot III Limited Edition watch easily takes the top spot in my personal The Next Sporty Chrono short list.Visually massive, yet feather-light, the case measures whole 45 millimeters in diameter and 13.80 millimeters in height. A watch of gargantuan proportions: just what a modern consumer wants.
Of course, there was no need for such a huge case: the Ronda 5021.D quartz movement, which the Edox 103 caliber is based on, is only 28.2 mm in diameter and less than 5.5 mm in height. There must be a plenty of empty space inside this black-green monster.Created with car enthusiasts in mind, the new watch comes in a trendy titanium case with a black PVD numbering plaque on one of its sides.
However, thanks to touches of electric green both on the dial (the chronograph hands, the numerals on the date disk and the name of the model) as well as on the case (one of the chronograph push-pieces, which is designed to be easily operated with the right thumb,) it actually looks as cheerful as a guy that just took the podium for the first time.
Of course, with its satin-finished titanium and black carbon fiber on the dial the new fake Edox WRC X-Treme Pilot III Limited Edition might have looked rather dull.
