I must say I am thoroughly impressed with this work of art.Its most definitely NOT the regular Autodromo watches I have purchased in the past And I love them as well!This watch is like wearing your GT on your wrist! Worth every penny! I just love it!
The Ford GT Owners Edition Chronograph is a highly customizable luxury timepiece exclusively available to owners of the new Ford GT. The watch can be personalized to match the color scheme of each owner’s car and comes engraved with that vehicle’s chassis number.
The GT Owners Edition Chronograph takes its inspiration from the avant-garde design language and material palette of the new Ford GT. Direct references to Ford’s supercar are found in every detail of the watch. The crown is a meticulous miniaturization of the scroll wheel selectors on the GT steering wheel. The pushers that operate the flyback chronograph are finely slotted, in reference to the paddle shifters of the GT. The dynamic forms of the watch’s 43mm diameter matte ceramic case echo the GT’s carbon fiber front splitter. In addition, the honeycomb dial pattern is a miniaturized version of the intricate bosses in the aluminum castings of the car’s chassis. The watch is powered by a Swiss Made La Joux-Perret 7773 flyback chronograph movement with blued column wheel and Ford branded custom rotor.
For the dial and hands, Ford challenged Autodromo’s founder and creative director Bradley Price to translate the GT’s cutting edge digital instrumentation into an analog timepiece. Over many months of refinement, Price’s design evolved into a sapphire dial layer carrying all the graphic elements, which appear to float over the textured “honeycomb” dial. Sapphire crystal hour and minute hands are set above both layers to complete the three-dimensional effect.
“The effect I wanted was of a pixelated 3D image on a computer screen, in reference to the digital instrument panel of the car,” says Price. “There had to be a depth to the dial and hand concept, both implied and real, and it had to be instantly readable. There were no design boundaries, but this had to remain a functional racer’s watch. We experimented with sapphire discs for the hands, for example, but legibility was compromised.”
Once the Ford GT owner has finalized his or her specification, the watch is hand assembled and tested in the Autodromo workshop in Dobbs Ferry, New York.

I decided I like Ron's color combo so much better so I ordered one to match his. Should have it anyday now.
