Bvlgari Aluminum Ducati Limited Edition

Bvlgari, a maison of high-end jewelry and watches, and Ducati, which develops high-end motorcycles. The Bvlgari Aluminum Ducati Limited Edition is a special edition that embodies the aesthetics, technical expertise, creativity and attitude born from the long history of the two brands, as well as their attitude of moving forward proudly into the future.




The elegance and refined craftsmanship of a proud Italian brand

The dial is in Ducati's signature red, the color of the historic Bolognese brand, and features three black counters and a date display between 4 and 5 o'clock. Black bar indexes are coated with luminescent material, and numbered indexes reminiscent of Ducati's motorcycle meters are placed at 10, 11, and 12 o'clock. The case is crafted from aluminum, while the crown and chronograph pushers are made of titanium. The rubber bezel is adorned with the BVLGARI-BVLGARI double logo, and the watch is presented on an iconic, stylish, supple strap. All of these design elements combine to create a timepiece worthy of various challenges: time, speed, travel, and performance. Furthermore, the Italian brand's elegance and craftsmanship infuse the modern, neo-retro design with a vibrant, forward-looking power, making this the ultimate watch for those embarking on the adventures of the future.

Founded in 1926, Ducati began producing engines in 1946, and has since expanded to produce high-end motorcycles characterized by high-performance engines, original design, and innovative technology. Ducati motorcycles express sophisticated engineering, renowned aesthetics, and above all, great passion. For all motorcyclists who desire a truly wonderful experience, the brand offers a line of motorcycles that combine lightness, technology, and high performance, embodying the essence of Italian style. The highest standards of quality, relentless innovation, and attention to rider safety are at the core of Ducati motorcycles. Known for its unconventional design, it was only natural that Bvlgari should share the energy and brilliance of this legendary brand. The passionate nature and spirit of Ducati are encapsulated in this high-precision watch.




- Elegant and powerful

Bvlgari Aluminium has continued its unconventional approach in two phases. The vision born in 1998 from the bold combination of aluminium and rubber has been realised in a refined design and graphic black and white colour scheme, characterised by comfort and sportiness. Since 2020, this watch has been equipped with an automatic mechanical movement, further enhancing its refinement and dynamism. The mechanical caliber BVL 130 beats at 4Hz, or 28,800 vibrations per hour, and boasts an accuracy of 1/10th of a second.

The Bvlgari Aluminium's various innovations represent a departure from the rigid constraints of traditional watchmaking, while also placing a premium on comfort. Its sleek Italian design creates a wearer's uniquely modern style. This timepiece exudes charisma, a forward-thinking, powerful, and confident style with timeless appeal. Like Ducati motorcycles, Bvlgari watches dynamically embody Italian elegance while undoubtedly demonstrating technical sophistication. The Bvlgari Aluminium embodies a fusion of historical and technological heritage and a bold approach.

The Bvlgari Aluminium Ducati Limited Edition is a watch for those who enjoy life and the future. This timepiece offers strength and praise to those who are forging new paths in life, enjoying the destinations they travel, from lush valleys to bustling urban streets.
