DUCATI WATCH COLLECTION GROWS
Nothing says premium or exclusive like having a stylish partnership with a boutique watchmaker . For Ducati , this is with fellow Italian outfit Locman , with their partnership kicking off in 2017 . Now for 2023 , the partners in bike / watch porn are launching a new line of watches that underlines the uniqueness of the Ducati brand . The new line of watches , the fourth generation of the partnership between Locman and Ducati , is made up of three models : the automatic Time Only , the Quartz Chronograph and the Automatic Chronograph . While different in terms of their mechanics , the three models in the Locman-Ducati collection share a case made up of four pieces , with two separate lugs , made of steel , which embrace the
central body , also in steel , secured by four visible screws . The lugs support the case , and therefore the movement , i . e . the ‘ engine ’ of the watch , in the same way that Ducati frames use the engine as a stressed element of the chassis . The Automatic Chronograph is certainly the most exclusive model of the line , created in a limited series of 100 numbered pieces . The watch is waterproof up to 100 meters ( 10 ATM ) and stands out for its elegant and incisive design in the graphics of the dial , which contains three subdials and a date window . The two automatic models are characterised by a crystal porthole set in the titanium case back , which allows the prestigious Swiss Sellita SW500 25 jewels-stop second movement to be observed .
