Classic cars and mechanical watches go perfectly together, as Chronoswiss also confirms. The brand has been an active part of motorsports on many occasions in the past, either as the title sponsor of the Chronoswiss Classics or in the development of watch models such as the Wristmaster, a dashboard clock set for Spyker, or the Tachoscope for Audi's 100th anniversary.
These many years of tradition are now being continued: in 2016, Chronoswiss is becoming the new main sponsor and chronograph partner to the Kitzbühel Alpine Rally for the first time. As part of this role, an exclusive timepiece is also being released in a limited edition: to mark the 29th Kitzbühel Alpine Rally, only 29 copies of the Regulator Rallye model will be made.

The Regulator Rallye is presented in a 40 mm solid stainless steel case, satin finish and polished. In this special edition, the black-red colour theme characteristic of motorsports and dynamism is consistently played upon. In addition to the matt black galvanised dial with its signal red accents on the digits and the limited edition number, this contrast will also be evident in the strap: made from black calfskin with braiding impression, it mirrors the characteristic perforation of classic rally gloves and also features bright red contrasting seams and inner lining.
On the reverse of the 29 limited Regulator Rallye models, the logo of the Kitzbühel Alpine Rally is also immortalised in the obligatory sapphire crystal back.
