Autodromo pays homage to the dawn of the Digital Age with the Group C watch ($495) a stylish nod to the iconic race cars of the era. The clean, slab-sided case design draws inspiration from the aerodynamic forms of legendary vehicles like the Porsche 962C and the Sauber C9. The brightly coloured pushers are a playful reference to the fluorescent mirrors on Group C cars, making them easily distinguishable during intense races like the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Underneath the chamfered sapphire crystal, you’ll find a simple black-and-white LCD module, complete with a blue EL backlight. This design evokes the nostalgia of early digital watches, the proto-smart watches of their time. The Group C watch is not just about looks; it’s packed with functionality, capable of timing laps (including split times), displaying time and date with micro precision, and featuring an alarm function. Secured to your wrist with a reversible custom moulded FKM rubber strap, the watch is as comfortable as it is versatile. The 20mm lugs allow for easy swapping with any of Autodromo’s leather straps, letting you customize your look.
