In 2011, Autodromo launched our first watch collection. Among these offerings was the original Vallelunga, which was a 42mm Quartz powered watch. It quickly became one of our best sellers.
Now, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the launch collection, Autodromo has crafted a refined, elevated re-issue of this old favorite. Case size has been reduced to 40mm, the movement is now an Automatic mechanical one, and the dial and hand sets offer a new level of refinement and detail. Vallelunga is a minimalist watch that can be worn in just about any context, from sport to dress, or just a fun daily wear.
Named for the famous race course outside of Rome, the Vallelunga is inspired by racing tachometers of the late 1960s, and goes back to the original minimalist ethos of the Autodromo aesthetic.

Hodinkee Collabs with Autodromo for Its First-Ever Group B Chronograph Watches
We’re a few decades off from the glory days of the World Sportscar Championship — an era that recalls the likes of Mario Andretti’s YEMA Rallygraf or the Heuer Monaco worn by Steven McQueen in the ‘71 film Le Mans. And yet, the ties between auto racing and the watch world are still stronger than ever. Modern brands such as Brew and Reservoir have honored the past while heritage names like TAG Heuer and Breitling have continued to dig through their archives, much to the excitement of collectors. Now, one of our favorite watchmakers, Autodromo, has partnered with the horology experts at Hodinkee for a take on the former’s fan-favorite Group B timepiece.
Since its debut in 2015, Autodromo’s Group B has always paid homage to the legendary, unbridled, and some would say infamous Group B rally racing that took place from 1982 until it was banned in 1986. This new collection with Hodinkee expands on the popular series with the first-ever chronograph versions of the watch. The series consists of five models, each inspired by a livery from a different ‘80s rally car. Powered by a Sellita SW 510 M B movement, the triple-register watches feature bi-metallic cases of titanium and stainless steel while bumping the case diameters to 40mm
Inspired by the ‘85 Peugeot 205 T16, the lively T16 showcases cyan blue and white on the dial with each subdial hand sporting a different color. Much darker than the others is the 037, taking after the Lancia rally car of the same name, with the midnight blue and black dial contrasting the bright yellow hands. Meanwhile, Lancia’s Delta S4 livery is represented with a white and navy blue dial and cyan hands. Dual shades of green compete on the H01 model, which was made specifically for this collection by Hodinkee. Finally, the S1 model channels one of the most coveted Group B cars ever, the Audi Quattro S1, with a white and gray dial with yellow hands.
