Stéphane Peterhansel chose the shock-absorbing Wyler Genève chronograph for the events of the 2008 Dakar Series and puts the official Wyler Genève Dakar chronograph to the test along the arduous South American route of the Dakar in 2009.

By showing the superlative performance and endurance required to win the Dakar, then adding a remarkable consistency to repeat this nine times, Frenchman Stéphane Peterhansel has achieved the status of a legend in the Dakar fraternity. He secured his first victory on two wheels, riding for Yamaha, at the age of 25 and started an unparalleled winning streak of 6 victories in 8 editions with the same team. In 1999 he switched to the relative comfort of the cars and quickly worked his way up through the field, winning three of the last five editions with Mitsubishi. Cumulatively, Peterhansel holds one-third of all Dakar victories.
