If you can't afford a flamboyant Ducati Panigale V4R for Christmas, maybe you can have a Ducati on your wrist. Ducati has once again collaborated with Locman by launching a line of watches designed by Centro Stile Ducati. In other words, one of Italy's most famous motorcycle manufacturers had its design center create watches, in collaboration with another Italian brand, Locman.
It is a partnership that has lasted since 2017 and which has given birth to several generations of dedicated watches. Now customers can get a watch designed by Ducati and developed by Locman to offer the same qualities as a motorcycle from the Bologna brand.
This collection is the fourth and consists of three models: the Automatic Time Only, the Quartz Chronograph and the Automatic Chronograph. Essential, sporty and refined design, they were designed by Ducati Centro Stile and developed by Locman according to a proven formula. They share the 42 mm case in 316Ll steel and titanium, with scratch-resistant mineral glass, sapphire treatment, porthole with custom Ducati rotor. They have a waterproof rating of 10 ATM (100 meters).
The case is made up of four parts, the two separate fasteners of which surround the central body, secured by four visible screws. The dial, refined at the level of the counters, presents a new texture at the level of the logos of the two partner companies.
The fundamental differences lie in the mechanical part: the automatic chronograph is produced in a limited series of 100 numbered pieces, has the Swiss Sellita SW500 25 jewels-stop seconds movement, is distinguished by the three counters and the date window, and costs €2298. The Solo Tempo automatic has an SIO (Scuola Italiana di Orologeria) automatic movement and three counters, and the list price is €598, while the third has a Miyota quartz movement and the price is €498. A crystal porthole set in the titanium back of the two automatic models allows you to observe the movement. On sale in the Locman store, on locman.it and in jewelry stores.
