Autodromo released the Group B Watch today as part of a collection inspired by the gold age of rally – an age that was characterised by 1000hp turbo monsters that had an unfortunate propensity for killing drivers and spectators alike.
The Autodromo Group B Watch uses the highly-regarded Miyota 9015 3-hand automatic movement, the case is of bi-metallic construction using both stainless steel and titanium, it has luminous indexes and hands, a sapphire crystal face, it’s water resistant to 50 metres and it comes in a variety of colour combinations, with a strap designed to evoke the style of a racing harness.
Ben Branch has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, the official Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and many hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.

The CAKE KALK electric bike was designed from scratch to offer dual sport capabilities – for those who need to commute during the week, but want to hit the trails on the weekend.

The Randolph Aviator Sunglasses (and their almost identical forbear) have been standard issue to all US astronauts and fighter pilots since 1958, officially known as the Flight Goggle 58.
