The case backs are inset with the matching national flag as a ceramic disc, while the left side of the 42mm steel case carries a plate bearing the name of the race winner and their finishing time. Each watch is also chronometer certified for its accuracy.

This year’s big launch from Ducati is the Scrambler, a new ‘urban’ machine available in four versions, all of which can be customised to suit the rider’s ‘lifestyle’ with a range of bolt-on accessories. To complement the bikes, Tudor – Ducati’s official watch partner – has launched three special versions of its FastRider chronograph, with dials based on some of the Scrambler’s paint colours: yellow, red or olive green matt. The rugged, 42mm watch has a satinised steel case, a scratchresistant ceramic bezel and a choice of rubber or quilted leather straps.
