The model features a laser engraving – Official watch of the Dakar Rally. Each of The Wyler Geneve Dakar Rally Tantalum Chronograph has its own individual number and the logo of the Dakar Rally.
Each of Wyler Geneneve Dakar Rally Tantalum Chronographs will be available in a luxurious folding presentation box that is made out of beige leather. The box features the compartment for the watch as well as a drawer with a leather strap, tools that facilitate strap and buckle changes and a USB stick with instruction how to accomplish both tasks.

The new Wyler Geneva Dakar Rally Tantalum Chronograph looks really great. Its eartly colors remind of desert terrain. The new watch features an intricate case construction. The case is made out of very rare metal – tantalum, while chronograph pushers and the crown protector are made out of stainless steel. The movement is placed inside a protective container that is supporting by a carbon-resin frame. The watch features a black "diamond-like carbon" coating and a rubber strap.

Wyler Geneve WT3 has a flying tourbillon that completes one rotation every 60 seconds. The watch features 72-hour reserve.
The tourbillon is available with the patented shock-absorbing Code-R case that is made out of black ceramic or 18 K white gold. Inside the case there is a movement that is housed in a titanium container that is suspended on springs inside a carbon fiber frame. Evidently, the watch is protected with sappphire crystals. One more great novelty from Wyler in 2009 is the fantstic Wyler WT3 Tourbillon. This is the first watch to be produced under the new Poincon du Jura quality label that requires movements that are 100 % Swiss made and at least 90 % components that are made in the Jura that is considered the heart of Switzerlands's watch making.
The new Wyler WT3 tourbillon features a skeletonized movement that features plates and bridges that are produced individually from blocks of raw material with no mass production stamping.
