Autodromo Monoposto Limited Edition
The Monoposto automatic iwas Autodromo's first ever mechanical watch, produced in a Limited Edition of 500 pieces, with 250 Black dials and 250 silver dials. It is powered by a Miyota 821A self-winding movement with calendar complication.
The polished stainless steel case is 43mm in diameter to give the feeling of an oversized tachometer on the wrist.
The rugged, bridle leather strap is equipped with a polished roller buckle just like the hood straps on a vintage grand prix car.
Monoposto is Italian for “single-seater,” and the watch is accordingly inspired by dashboard gauges from 1950s-era grand prix racing cars. It was common practice for racing mechanics in the 1950s to paint a red line onto the glass of the rev counter so the driver would know when to shift. T
he Monoposto
makes reference to this practice with a distinctive red line applied to the inside of the proprietary 40mm domed crystal.
This virtually unused example is in as new condition and a full let with outer sleeve, inner leatherette box, with luxury red interior and numbered plaque
