Ducati Frontier DTWGI0005003 Watch
The Ducati Frontier DTWGI0005003 is a men's watch from the Frontier collection, built on the idea that guides Ducati's watches: bringing the visual code of Borgo Panigale's racing motorcycles to the wrist. Here it does so with a chronograph, the function closest to track timekeeping.
The functions of this quartz watch are chronograph and calendar. The two pushers flank the crown at 3 o'clock to start, stop and reset the chronograph. The case is stainless steel with a black PVD finish and measures 43.5 mm. The dial is blue, with three sub-dials and the red Ducati shield at 3 o'clock, and the hands have a luminous treatment. The strap is blue resin with a buckle closure. The crystal is mineral and water resistance is 5 ATM.
It is not a metal-bracelet chronograph: the case is black PVD and the strap is blue resin, matching the dial. The chronograph is started, stopped and reset with the two pushers next to the crown, and the strap is adjusted at the buckle to the hole that fits the wrist.

Why choose this watch?
43.5 mm chronograph: generous size, no pretense of a discreet watch
The chronograph is operated with the pushers next to the crown and the case measures 43.5 mm. Anyone looking for a discreet watch for a slim wrist should look at another model.
Black PVD case and blue resin strap: no metal bracelet
PVD is a black coating over the steel case. The strap is resin with a buckle closure, so the watch does not have a steel bracelet.
Red Ducati shield at 3 o'clock: brand identity on a blue background
The red of the shield contrasts with the blue of the dial and the strap and maintains the visual reference to Ducati. The three sub-dials complete the chronograph reading.
Frequently asked questions
Is the DTWGI0005003 suitable for swimming or showering?
No. With 5 ATM it covers splashes, rain and hand washing, but it is not designed for swimming or showering, and the pushers should not be operated when the watch is wet. For real aquatic use, look for a watch with 10 ATM or more.
Is it automatic or does it need a battery?
It is quartz: it runs on a battery and does not require winding. To preserve water resistance, the battery should be replaced by a workshop.
