Autodromo Group C Turbo Sport Watch Brings Turbo Era Dashboard Design to Your Wrist
The original Group C digital watch from 2023 established Autodromo's endurance racing aesthetic. The Turbo Sport evolves the concept by combining an analog dial inspired by turbo era tachometers with a digital LCD window, putting both worlds on the same face.
The upper dial is pure instrument. High contrast syringe hands, a debossed grid pattern, and bold indexes reference the cockpit gauges of 1980s and 1990s endurance racers. If you have ever studied the dashboard of a Porsche 962 or a Jaguar XJR 9, the design language is immediately familiar. At six o'clock, an LCD window handles the functional extras: dual additional time zones, a daily alarm, and a 1/100 second chronograph. An EL backlight covers low light readability alongside lume filled hands.
The case is what separates this from most watches in the category. CNC milled from anodized aluminium rather than stainless steel, the same material that defined the Group C paddock in period. The result is 58 grams total weight on the wrist. At 38.5mm across, 40mm lug to lug, and 11.4mm thick, it wears compact and sporty without feeling like it's trying to make a statement. Three anodized finishes are available: Grey, Gold, and Silver. Each gets a brushed 316L stainless steel caseback with polished bevels and paint filled logo, a sapphire crystal, and 50 metres of water resistance.
The FKM rubber strap with nylon inlay is a new design from Autodromo and reportedly the most comfortable they have produced. The 20mm width keeps it proportional to the case size.
$450 across all three colorways. The Grey is already on backorder.
