The Watch
Here we have a 2020 Autodromo Group B Series 2 inspired by the Group B Rally cars that were built with space-aged materials and jacked up to race one of the world's hardest rally’s called the East African Coronation Safari which started back in 1953. A tonneau-shaped 39mm bi-metal Titanium-stainless steel blasted case coated in a deep green with a slim profile and distinctive angled drilled lugs, a case thickness of 10mm and a lug-to-lug length of 50.5mm gives the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side, is a hexangular signed crown. The smooth bezel holds a flat sapphire crystal with a chamfered edge that lifts it above the striking multi-dimensional deep green dial, inspired by the Lancia 037 one of the legendary rally cars of the 1980s, a raised 60-minute chapter ring with luminance-coated indexes marking the hours, resembling the tachometer of this iconic car, the centre disc has two screws and the distinctive Autodromo hands infilled with luminance complemented by a tapered orange tipped sweeping second hand. At 12 o’clock we have the Autodromo motif and at 6 o’clock “Group B Safari” in a stylised font. On the reverse, a screwed-down case back with the Autodromo logo in the centre, inside an automatic Miyota Cal. 9015, 24 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, this premium movement has hand winding and hacking for your convenience. The watch comes fitted with its original 20mm Autodromo integrated bracelet blasted stainless steel coated in deep green with a signed deployment clasp and the watch comes with its Autodromo presentation box and paperwork.
Personal Note
Autodromo is a brand I have been a fan of for some time, the watches they produce and their amazing designs speak for themselves, but more than that their value is unquestionable. We have this fantastic Safari Green model with an interesting dark shade of green to the case, not something I personally would have thought would work, but it really does and goes with the design! If you are a fan of green, this is one to consider.
