This limited edition of only 500 watches is a true homage to the era of Grand Prix racing, when all the driver had on his dashboard were a few huge dials with red arms.

Since there were no rev limiters or electronic aids to keep the driver from blowing up his engine, well intentioned mechanics would commonly apply a strip of red tape, or a line of red paint on the glass of the rev counter to make sure the driver knew his engine’s limit at a glance.  Autodromo pays homage to this humble practice with our own red line crystal.
