Following projects with watchmakers Breitling and Locman, Ducati has now teamed up with Swiss firm Gerald Charles to create the Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30o Anniversario 916 watch.
Only 250 deep-pocketed individuals will be able to enjoy examples of the Maestro, made to celebrate the anniversary of the iconic 916. It features a “jumping-hour complication” (which means there isn’t an hour hand, instead the numbers on the watch face rotate anticlockwise once an hour) designed to look like the three-spoke wheels used on the 916.
The case is made from marbled black forged carbon, with a ceramic bezel and titanium crown, case-back and buckle. The back of the case has a crystal window to show off the hand-crafted 265-piece movement. The vulcanised red rubber strap comes in three sizes and, somewhat bizarrely, has a vanilla scent added. Given the price, you’ll be delighted to know that it is water resistant to 100m and also shock resistant to 5G. Yours to pre-order now for just £40,340.
