BACKGROUND
Audi has a long history of offering branded lifestyle accessories through the Audi collection range, often releasing watches, apparel, and memorabilia tied to special vehicles. The Chronograph RS 4 Avant edition 25 years was created to mark the 25th anniversary of the RS 4 line, first introduced in 1999 with the B5-generation RS 4 Avant developed by quattro GmbH. The 2024 anniversary car pays tribute to the earlier RS 4 Sport model, and the chronograph continues that theme through color, material choices, and motorsport-inspired styling.
DESIGN FEATURES
The chronograph incorporates multiple design elements adapted from the RS 4 Avant edition 25 years:
- Carbon-fibre dial reflecting the vehicle’s motorsport-influenced interior and exterior carbon trim
- Yellow accents, including the RS 4 logo and central chronograph second hand, matching the edition model’s Imola Yellow highlights
- Contrast stitching on the leather strap in yellow, echoing the seat, console, and steering wheel stitching of the car
- A limited-edition numbering system, with each watch corresponding to one of the 250 vehicles produced
The case, strap, and layout follow contemporary Audi design language, combining strong geometric lines with lightweight materials. As a chronograph, the watch includes stopwatch functionality and a multi-dial layout typical of motorsport-themed timepieces.
PRODUCTION & AVAILABILITY
Like the anniversary vehicle, the chronograph is limited to 250 units. Audi collection released it concurrently with the RS 4 Avant edition 25 years in mid-2024. The watch is available exclusively through participating Audi partners and is positioned as a premium accessory intended primarily for owners of the special-edition car, though it may also be purchased separately depending on regional availability.
RELATION TO THE RS 4 AVANT EDITION 25 YEARS
The chronograph is designed as a companion piece to the Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years and is intended to reflect the identity of the vehicle through:
- Shared yellow RS-specific motifs
- Carbon material references
- Matching limited-production numbering
Its introduction follows Audi’s established practice of offering collectible, model-linked timepieces alongside significant RS or Audi Sport product launches.
