Thanks to Hodinkee, I came across the new watchmaking brand called Officine Autodromo.
This brand produces watches for motoring, designed in the vintage mid-century spirit and inspired by the classic dashboards of racing cars. The watches are equipped with the finest Swiss Ronda quartz movements and made of premium quality materials. What is most interesting is that the brand designs everything in-house, from motoring watches to the custom warping paper.
The brand’s launching collection comprises of three models: Veloce, Brescia and Vallelunga.
Veloce
Veloce means speedy in Italian. The Veloce watches are available in stainless steel or black PVD, fitted with dials inspired by a classic 1960s rev counters. The case measures 42 millimeters in diameter and houses Swiss Made Ronda 6003.D quartz movement.
Brescia
Brescia is named after the town of Brescia where one of the most difficult Europe’s road race, Mille Miglia, begins and ends. This elegant and simple watch is crafted in black PVD stainless steel and topped with KI glass crystal with sapphire coating. Sleek black dial reveals Big Date indication animated by the Swiss Made Ronda 4003.B quartz movement.
Vallelunga
Vallelunga is named after the Vallelunga race circuit. This is another minimalistic watch inspired by racing tachometers used in many Italian Prototype and Grand Prix racing cars of late 1960s and early 1970s. The watch uses Swiss Made Ronda 4003.B quartz movement with Big Date calendar complication.
Each of the models boasts 42 millimeters in diameter, offers 30 meters of water resistance, and comes mounted on a perforated genuine leather strap. The price is also the same: $425.00.
