I'm now selling my Autodromo Monoposto in black after not wearing it for far too long. It was Autodromos first mechanical offering back in 2012, in a long sold out limited edition of 250 watches in white and 250 in black. This is no. 376/500.The release garnered a lot of attention and has since become a sought after watch not often seen on the market. The Monoposto is conceived with 1950s single-seater Italy grand prix racing cars in mind, and the red line comes from the common practice of mechanics to paint a red line on the gauges so the driver would know when to shift.Combined with the "ORE x100" at 12 o'clock, the functional screws at 3 and 9 o'clock, and the rest of the dial's styling, the Monoposto wears its racing inspiration proudly. That said, you don't have to be a "car guy" to enjoy the well-designed watch.The watch comes with: Outer box & papers, leather inner box, original (worn) strap w/ roller buckle, slightly worn NATO (not original). Original replacement straps can be ordered from Autodromo, message me if you need help finding the link as it can't be found on their website.The watch winds and works as it did when I bought it, although it runs a bit fast (never measured). It was my daily wear for ~2 years, so hairlines and nato-marks are visible. Certain marks may not be visible in the images above.A very small piece of the tip of the hour hand has fragmented at some point (see picture). I don't know exactly when as the watch has never been dropped or experienced any severe desk diving, but It's a very minor cosmetic fault that is hardly noticeable and does not affect timekeeping.Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Also, keep in mind you may have to pay import tax outside EU.Thank you
