"  Listen. We know that when it comes to watches, quality is paramount. But still, there are those times when it&amp;#039;s the design of something that&amp;#039;s truly responsible for that first flush of interest. And, if we&amp;#039;re being honest, that was exactly the case when we first laid eyes on Autodromo&amp;#039;s Monoposto model. Literally &amp;quot;single seat&amp;quot; in Italian, the Monoposto takes its cues from the early days of Grand Prix racing. Back then, there weren&amp;#039;t limiters or electronic aids to keep you from blowing up your engine, so mechanics would paint a red stripe on the rev counters so a driver could see his engine&amp;#039;s limit at a glance. Inspired by that practice, Autudromo painted a thin red strip on the interior of the watch&amp;#039;s crystal. A little outside the norm, yes, but we&amp;#039;re OK with that (especially when you consider how understated the design is otherwise). Now, would we wear it to a formal affair? No. But on the weekend, or at the bar. Hell yes. Oh, and though we&amp;#039;ve been focusing on the aesthetics here, we should note that the watch actually backs up its good looks with a Japanese Miyota 821A automatic movement \u2014 so there&amp;#039;s that whole &amp;quot;quality&amp;quot; issue covered. Another thing: It&amp;#039;s a limited edition release. There are only 500 watches total, 250 in silver (above) and 250 in black. So, if you&amp;#039;re looking to get one for yourself (for $875), you might want to take a page from the Grand Prix yourself and move fast. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
