Autodromo’s focus on motoring-style timepieces is well-known in horological circles. With styles that are clearly evocative of auto racing’s glorious past, the brand uses modern watchmaking and materials. Their sold-out Prototipo chronograph returns by way of popular watch blog Worn & Wound in a 150-unit limited release in a special colorway. The PVD gunmetal case with shrouded lugs, matte grey dial, recessed subdials, and blue highlights make it subtly stylish. The caseback displays W&W’s 10th anniversary logo, and the perforated grey suede rally strap brings the watch across the finish line beautifully. It’s powered by a reliable Seiko VK63 Meca-Quartz movement, which is a hybridized mechanical chrono and quartz time regulation. Expect this special collab to sell out quickly.
