In what could be one of the more unlikely partnerships, Ducati and Bulgari have collaborated on a special limited-edition chronograph called the Bulgari Aluminum Ducati Special Edition.
With a limited-run of just 1,000 pieces worldwide, the timepiece features a dial in Ducati red color. It also comes with three counters, all inspired by Ducati rev counter graphics: black background, white indexes, red sphere. The hour markers also refer to the aesthetics of the Italian motorcycle manufacturer.
Made of unconventional materials, the watch features a 40-mm diameter aluminum case with the iconic bezel and bracelet in black rubber, while the crown and chronograph pushers are made of titanium. The chronograph is water-resistant to 100 meters and the mechanical automatic BVL 130 movement, beating inside at the rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensures tenth-of-a-second accuracy.
The titanium case back, with anti-wear DLC treatment, is personalized with the Ducati brand and production number, to attest to the uniqueness of the limited-edition piece. The watch is delivered in a special anodized aluminum case with rubber interior and soft touch finish, bearing the signatures of the two brands, Ducati and Bulgari.
The Bulgari Aluminium Ducati Special Edition chronograph is already available for sale in Bulgari stores and with authorized retailers as well as on the brand's website where it retails for €5,000 (P 275,732).
