Gerald Charles "Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30th Anniversary 916"
Gerald Charles was founded in 2000. The brand is named after the two first names of Gerald Charles Genta, the designer of many classic watches. The brand has now announced the Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30th Anniversary 916, a collaboration model with Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati. This limited edition model, limited to 250 pieces worldwide, commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Ducati 916.
The dial features a Ducati 916 wheel design in the center, surrounded by Arabic numerals filled with red Super-LumiNova. This model is the first in over 13 years to feature the company's jumping hour mechanism, which rotates a disc counterclockwise with each rotation of the minute hand, displaying the time in a small window at 12 o'clock.
The case is crafted from black carbon fiber, and is complemented by a matte black ceramic bezel and grade 5 titanium crown, case back, and strap buckle. The sapphire crystal on the case back features the Ducati 916 logo, enhancing the unique feel of this collaboration model.
The movement is the newly developed in-house automatic movement, Cal. GCA 3002JH. The bridges are decorated with Colimaçon, Côtes de Genève, and circular graining, and the gold-colored rotor features the brand's signature honeycomb motif.
