Mobil 1™ Celebrates Milestone with Unique Autodromo Collaboration

This collaboration introduces the Mobil 1 Edition Monoposto, a limited-edition timepiece, showcasing their shared commitment to performance and precision.
The Design Behind the Mobil 1 Edition Monoposto
The Mobil 1 Edition Monoposto is not just any watch; it's a reimagining of one of Autodromo's most sought-after designs. Every detail reflects the essence of racing spirit. With a gleaming white dial, reminiscent of a vintage racing tachometer, it proudly displays the legendary red Pegasus, symbolizing speed and power. Limited to only 150 pieces, enthusiasts can choose from 100 models featuring stainless steel with a blue strap, priced at $875, and 50 models in gold-toned stainless steel paired with a black strap at $950.
Features of the Timepiece
The watch, with a 43mm stainless steel case, calls to mind the oversized dashboard gauges found in the single-seater racing cars of the 1950s. It is a true time-only marvel, showcasing a special Mobil 1 Pegasus dial protected by a sapphire crystal. Inside, it houses a sophisticated Japan-made Miyota 9039 automatic movement, visible through the Mobil 1 branded exhibition caseback. Complementing the timepiece are handcrafted Italian Buffalo leather straps, finished with polished stainless roller buckles, reminiscent of the leather hoods found on classic racing vehicles.
