Autodromo Monoposto - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

First of all, if you hope to find one I wish you a lot of courage because they are rare. They were released at the time in only 500 copies (250 white background / 250 black background). This is the very first automatic model sold by Autodromo with the particularity of using a Miyota 821A movement. We can see that the founder has the art of detail, since he goes so far as to have an engraved weight produced by the Autodromo factory and also works the case back with shapes inspired by the automobile of the 60s. The real twist on this model is obviously the red area painted under the glass to emphasize the kinship with the automobile. It is very pleasant to look at, to wear, although quite imposing in diameter. On the other hand, the thickness is contained and allows it to be hidden under a shirt if necessary.

The monoposto is a reinterpretation of a 3-hand model released a few years ago but this time on a Seiko NE88 movement base. What is interesting is that this movement has a column wheel - rare for this price range. The watch is quite imposing but therefore VERY readable. The blue/yellow color is very original and catches the eye - and will not be seen on all wrists because it is limited to 100 copies. The automotive inspiration is clear, down to the smallest detail (eg: the bracelet buckle which is built like the buckles of the hood straps of competition cars)
