Fancy A New Bulgari Aluminium Ducati Special Edition Watch?

Be warned, if you fancy buying yourself a new Bulgari Aluminium Ducati Special Edition watch, it’ll set you back the same as a secondhand motorcycle. The two Italian brands have collaborated on a limited edition chronograph which is definitely aimed at the luxury market.

Just 1000 of the watches will be made, using a 40mm diameter aluminium case with a bezel and bracelet in black rubber. The crown and chronograph pushers are made of titanium, and along with the Ducati red dial, there are three counters inspired by the dash of a sportsbike. All of this means the watch is water resistant to 100 metres, and the mechanical BVL 130 movement which beats at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour, means tenth-of-a-second accuracy.

The Bulgari Aluminium Ducati Special Edition Watch costs around the same as a secondhand Italian superbike...There's no denying the craft that's gone into the Bulgari Aluminium Ducati Special Edition Watch

With the limited run of 1000 pieces, you might have to be quick if you want the special Bulgari Ducati watch. And you’ll also need deep pockets, as ordering one from the Bulgari website will set you back €5,000. At the time of writing, that’s £4,251.

Personally, I’d spend that on a motorcycle, and just check the time on my phone when I need to, but I’m definitely not the target market for a brand whose cheapest watches will cost you €3,000. Even if I can certainly appreciate the skill and craft that goes into precision chronographs.

But if you have the desire and means, you can find out where to buy a BVLGARI Aluminium Ducati Special Edition watch via their website.
