Bvlgari has launched the Bvlgari Aluminum Chronograph Ducati Special Edition to celebrate its partnership with premium motorcycle manufacturer Ducati. Let’s see the fruits of collaboration between two iconic houses representing Italy, although they are different fields.
Based on the existing replica Bvlgari aluminum chronograph watch launched in full renewal in 2020, the signature red, which symbolizes the passionate Bologna-born Ducati, is applied as the dial color, and Arabic numerals index and counter design reminiscent of the Ducati motorcycle instrument panel are applied. It offers uniqueness. While the black counter and indexes on the red background create a strong contrast, the white Super-LumiNova applied to the hour markers/hands and the white indexes on the counter also ensure sufficient readability.
Like its predecessor, the 40mm diameter case is made of lightweight aluminum alloy. Bulgari The fixed bezel part with the Bulgari logo engraved on both sides is coated with matte black rubber on a titanium base, and the case back is also finished with black DLC coating on a human-friendly titanium base. It also follows the two-tone code of the silver and black case, while both the crown and pusher use black DLC coated titanium to prevent everyday scratches. The cylindrical lugs that move like a joint according to the movement of the wrist and contribute to a comfortable fit are also made of titanium.
The movement is equipped with an automatic chronograph caliber B130, modified on the basis of the ETA 2894 (frequency 4 Hz, power reserve 42 hours). As a well-proven and representative modular automatic chronograph caliber, it is not as exclusive as other Bvlgari Manufactured calibers, but at least performs excellently. Instead of revealing the movement on a titanium caseback with black DLC coating, the center is engraved with the Ducati logo to commemorate the special partnership. The waterproof specification of the case guarantees the same 100m as the regular model, making it practical. And you can always see the black rubber strap unique to the Bvlgari aluminum watch with an aluminum link inserted in the middle.
The Bvlgari Aluminum Chronograph Ducati Special Edition (Ref. 103701) is a limited edition of 1,000 pieces and is only available in Bulgari Official Online Boutiques and select boutiques. The domestic release price is 6.2 million won.
