If you’re like me, you love a good hit of nostalgia. Watches, cars (the Lamborghini Countach, anyone?), music (Scorpions’ “Rock You Like a Hurricane”); a lot of the greats—heck, even the “greats because they’re not so great”—came out of the 1980s. You know what else did? The “so good it’s too dangerous to exist” WRC rally series Group B, for which car manufacturers raced to put out some of the craziest cars ever made, many of which didn’t ever race because the series was cancelled. That’s why we didn’t get to see the Lamborghini Countach LP5000S run Group B (there weren’t enough to make it homologated), or the RS200 Evo, and even the Ferrari 288 GTO. But what we did get from the era was the solidification of the fact that blacked-out watches are never not cool. Autodromo and Mobil 1 have teamed up (again) to remind you of that fact.
