Some collaborations go beyond simple co-branding and tell a story of passion, innovation, and Italian pride. This is the case with the new Locman Ducati 100, an exclusive timepiece created to celebrate Ducati's centenary, founded in 1926, and produced in a limited series of just 100 pieces.

Presented at the World Ducati Week, for which Locman is once again the Official Timekeeper, this watch represents the union between two Italian excellences, sharing technological research, artisanal care, and the desire to transform every detail into a unique experience.
One hundred pieces to celebrate one hundred years of passion
2026 marks a historic milestone for Ducati: one hundred years of innovation, competitions, and successes that have made the Borgo Panigale manufacturer one of the most beloved motorcycle brands in the world.
To celebrate this anniversary, Locman has developed a watch destined to become an authentic collector's item. Production is limited to just 100 pieces, a number that directly references Ducati's centenary and makes each timepiece even more exclusive. Enthusiasts have the opportunity to pre-order it during World Ducati Week, the most important international event dedicated to the Emilian brand.
A collaboration that lasts over time
The partnership between Locman and Ducati is not new.
Since 2017, the two companies have shared a common vision of technological innovation, contemporary design, and the enhancement of Made in Italy. Over the years, this collaboration has given life to numerous creations dedicated to motorcycle and watch enthusiasts, strengthening a bond built on shared values.
With Ducati 100, this collaboration reaches one of its most significant moments, simultaneously celebrating the history of the motorcycle brand and the excellence of Italian watchmaking.
Racing design inspired by the world of competition
Every element of the Ducati 100 evokes the world of racing.
The dial is made of carbon fiber, one of the symbolic materials of modern motorcycle engineering, chosen for its lightness and high performance. The famous Ducati shield dominates the upper part of the dial, while the celebratory 1926-2026 logo, specially created to commemorate the first century of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer's history, is located at the bottom.
The result is a clean, sporty, and immediately recognizable aesthetic, capable of conveying the racing character of the project without sacrificing elegance.
Technical materials and Italian construction
The 39.5 mm case combines AISI 316L steel and titanium, a solution that achieves the right balance between robustness, lightness, and comfort.
The distinctive three-bar lugs, a hallmark of Locman, integrate perfectly with the hypoallergenic silicone strap, ensuring excellent wearability even during sports activities.
The watch also offers water resistance up to 100 meters, confirming its technical vocation and its ability to handle daily and sports activities without problems. For those who desire an even bolder look, a version with PVD Black treatment is also available, enhanced by the side engraving dedicated to the Ducati One Hundred project.
The heart is a Made in Italy mechanical movement
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Ducati 100 lies inside the case.
Locman has chosen to equip this model with the prestigious OISA 29-50 Cinque Ponti caliber, a manual-winding mechanical movement entirely designed and manufactured in Italy.
Through the transparent case back, one can observe the artisanal finishes of the movement, characterized by Côtes de Genève decorations on the bridges and the refined Perlage finishing on the mainplate, details that attest to the quality level of Italian manufacturing.
The movement uses 19 jewels, adopts a sophisticated regulation system via Masselottes, a solution normally reserved for higher-end calibers, and offers a power reserve of approximately 60 hours, with a declared accuracy of ±10 seconds per day.
An edition destined for collectors
The Ducati 100 is not simply a celebratory watch.
It is a project that embodies the best of contemporary Italian watchmaking, combining technological materials, high-level mechanics, and extremely limited production.
For Ducati enthusiasts, it represents a tribute to the first century of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer's history. For watch collectors, on the other hand, it is a rare opportunity to wear a timepiece powered by a Made in Italy mechanical caliber, produced in an exclusive edition and destined to become one of the most representative models of the collaboration between Locman and Ducati.
