Group B

The Autodromo Group B captures the spirit of 1980s rally racing, channeling the era’s technical innovation and bold design language. Inspired by the infamous Group B motorsport class, this watch blends a lightweight titanium and stainless steel construction with a distinctive, angular case profile. Its integrated bracelet and compact 40mm sizing make it both comfortable and visually striking, appealing to collectors who appreciate motorsport history and modernist aesthetics.

Key versions include the original Group B Series 1, the later Series 2 with its quick-release bracelet, and limited edition dial variants. All models use the reliable Miyota 9015 automatic movement, chosen for its slimness and proven performance. The 50m water resistance is suitable for daily wear, but this is a watch designed more for style than for diving or heavy-duty sports. Colorways and dial textures drive price differences, with rarer editions and early releases commanding premiums.

When considering a purchase, check for the complete set—box, papers, and both the bracelet and included nylon strap—since full kits are more desirable. Earlier Series 1 models have a fixed bracelet integration, while Series 2 offers easier strap changes, which can affect wearability and collectability. The Group B’s unique case construction means servicing should be handled by watchmakers familiar with Autodromo’s modular design. This model’s cult following ensures strong resale value, especially for limited releases and discontinued colorways.
