Collection: Stop Watches

Rally Stopwatches

Fastime has been making rally stopwatches for decades, and the Fastime Copilote RW3 is the industry standard co-driver watch used by every current WRC team and the majority of national-level co-drivers worldwide. The range on this page is the motorsport line specifically, the RW3 rally watch in every colour Fastime produces, the Fastime 11 historic rally stopwatch, and the matching accessories. Here's what to look for:

• Designed by co-drivers, for co-drivers: the RW3 was specified by working WRC co-drivers and refined over multiple generations, replacing the popular RW2 with features requested from the stage
• Simple button layout: the interface is deliberately kept minimal so a co-driver can operate it accurately in a rally car, in the dark, without looking
• Rugged construction: silicone strap, tough case and a display readable through a helmet visor
• Motorsport-specific functions: next whole minute start, freeze time of day, lap and split memory, countdown timer and backlight, in one unit
• Available in 11 colours: the distinctive bright straps have become part of the visual signature of rally co-drivers on the stage

The Fastime Copilote RW3 Rally Watch

The RW3 is what most people come to Fastime for. It was designed by co-drivers for co-drivers, with a specific set of features that make it easier to time a rally stage accurately under pressure. The core functions worth knowing:

Next whole minute start: pushes the start of your timing to the next round minute, so you can synchronise cleanly with a stage start signal without fumbling the button at the exact second.

Freeze time of day: captures the current time at the push of a button, so you can log the exact time a stage started or a car arrived at a control without losing the running clock.

Lap and split memory: stores multiple lap and split times for review, so you can compare stage sectors after the run rather than trying to note them down during it.

Countdown timer, backlight and alarm: the practical features that make the watch useful across a full rally weekend, from pre-stage countdown to end-of-day logging.

11 colour options: the strap colour is a co-driver signature at the top level. The colour range covers the classics (Black, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange) plus Turquoise, Pink, Gunmetal, Yellow Bezel and Black with Red Buttons.

The Co-Driver RW3 Stop Watch & Bag Package pairs the watch with a dedicated Co-Driver bag for stage kit. Ideal for co-drivers building a setup from scratch, and the most cost-effective way into the RW3. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Fastime RW3 and the Fastime 11?

The RW3 is the flagship rally co-driver watch, designed specifically for stage rally timing and used at WRC level. The Fastime 11 is a simpler stopwatch suitable for historic rallying (where 1/100th second timing isn't critical), circuit racing without memory storage requirements, and general motorsport timing.  If you're co-driving a modern rally car, the RW3 is the right choice. If you're timing a historic event or general workshop testing, the 11 does the job at a lower price.

The Fastime 11 is a simpler stopwatch suitable for historic rallying, beginners, circuit racing without memory storage requirements, and general motorsport timing. 

Do WRC teams actually use the RW3?

Yes. The Fastime Copilote RW3 is used by every current WRC team and by top co-drivers at WRC, national and club level across the world. It's the industry-standard co-driver watch and has been for multiple generations, going back to the RW2 that preceded it.

Can I replace the strap on my RW3?

Yes. Fastime silicone straps are sold separately in the accessories part of this collection, so you can replace a worn strap without buying a new watch.

Is the RW3 water-resistant?

Yes, for rally use. The RW3 is water resistant to 5 ATM, which covers rain, splash and general weather exposure across a rally weekend. It isn't rated for diving or high-pressure jet washing.
