Description

Men's watch comes with 2 bands, light blue and grey. 39MM Myiota 9015 Automatic. The Group B era --which spanned from 1982-1986-- was arguably the last romantic era of motorsport. It was a time of unfettered technical ingenuity, space age exotic materials and turbo-boosted horsepower. It was also a time of gladiatorial danger for drivers and co-drivers pushed to the very limits of human endurance through unforgiving mountain passes, desert roads, and snow covered woodland. Autodromo's Group B watch is an homage to the technical advancement and exotic materials finding use at the time, featuring a bi-metallic case construction. The Miyota 9015 automatic movement is housed within a lightweight 39mm titanium capsule composed of 2 parts, which is held to the wrist via a single-piece chassis with integral lugs, crafted in stainless steel. Thanks to the use of Titanium and a minimal amount of steel, the Group B watch is the lightest watch ever produced by Autodromo, weighing only 52 grams, even with the self-winding mechanical movement inside.
