The other colour versions are nods to Group B rally car liveries, so appeal to motorsport fans (the core customer of Autodromo!) The green is a Hodinkee specific special, which is my main gripe with this watch, as the green is the only one which is not aligned with Autodromo. Hence I bought an S4; it’s a reference to the famous Martini livery, a key essence of Group B motorsport. Only motorsport folk get it, and that’s the appeal to me (and everyone else that bought the non-green version!)
totally agree. bought an S4 "Lancia Delta S4" myself, a true Group B colorway. I put it on a black leather autodromo rally-strap and it looks awesome!
Cool looking watch. Phenomenal description of the mechanics. Much appreciated. Cheers.
Hodinkee is now basically “look at what some celebrity you don’t care about is wearing!”
They still have their moments but their limited editions are mostly a miss for me. Cool colorway on your example though!
Really nice watch! It would have been nice for you to film a little of you wearing it with the bracelet though seeing as how that’s what it comes on. Just to give an idea for what to expect if you buy one .
I actually like these watches very much. The colors are very pretty, all of them. I don't care about hodinkee collaboration or tge limited edition thingy, I just find the watches very appealing design and aesthetics-wise
Does everyone still own their Hodinkee travel clock?
Had the green one since release and I echo the same critiques. Didn't even realize there was lume on this before watching this review 😂
Hi. Excellent review. What is your wrist size? I am considering buying one but the 50 L2L is a factor to consider. Thanks
The instant I see the label “limited edition” on a watch, I reflexively think “Nope. Not even going to bother.”
Great review! I decided not to go for one of those as a non collaborative version goes for less than 1/2 the price.
OK i kinda like it, especially the color of dial is pretty cool.
I have a Timex & Hodinkee , Skindiver great watch 👍
No thank you.
Cash grab no doubt. But the Hodinkee x IWC MarkXVIII was next-level cool... albeit $6.5K cool. So yeah, a cash grab for sure.
Limited editions are way overdone and are cash grabs. Not into it
Overdone. Not a fan. Huge money grab.
Hodinkee is trash
hey man, thanks for the great review! i just sent you a DM on instagram, i have some questions ;) many greetings!
