What happens when you combine a high-end Italian motorcycle manufacturer with a high-end Italian watch manufacturer? Well, for starters you get a press release full of florid language and much mention of icons, passion and style. As to the watch itself, it is a limited edition version of the Bulgari Aluminium with a red dial and indexes (the numbers on the dial to you and me) based on Ducati design language, plus three sub dials inspired by Ducati rev counters.
The 40mm case is aluminium, the backing is titanium, the strap is rubber and the mechanical automatic movement vibrates at 28,800 beats per hour, putting even a Panigale’s rev limit to shame. Each of the 1000 examples comes engraved with a series number and a Ducati logo, and retails for an oligarch-friendly £3930, but you do get a nice aluminium and rubber storage box included.
