MV Agusta celebrates 80th anniversary with new limited edition watches

MV Agusta has revealed two new limited edition watches which have both been inspired by the brand’s very first motorcycle. 

The MV 98 was said first-ever bike made by the Varese-based brand in 1945, and that motorcycle has served as the main inspiration for these two watches. But MV Agusta also says the ‘design language’ behind both timepieces is shared by the Superveloce 98 Limited Edition bike, which is the anniversary model celebrating the brand’s first engine.

The two watches feature a 40mm stainless steel case, while the Wyler Vetta logo is placed at 12 o’clock and the MV Agusta logo at 6 o’clock, on both models. The steel hands with Super-LumiNova inserts have been designed to mimic the aerodynamic shape of speedometer needles.

The Wyler Vetta x MV Agusta Chronograph is limited to just 80 pieces worldwide and comes with a price of €3,900 (around £3,380), while the Time-Only edition is available in 500 units and is priced at €1,900 (£1,650). 

Both watches also include gold details on the dial with the number 37 placed between 7 and 8 o’clock. This feature is a direct tribute to the 37 World Championship titles MV Agusta has won.

Beppe Ambrosini, Partner and Senior Advisor of Wyler Vetta, said: 

“This collaboration is born from the meeting of two worlds driven by a passion for excellence and creativity. Wyler Vetta, long inspired by the world of motorsports and aligned with its spirit of adrenaline and precision, merges its horological expertise with the motorcycle legend that is MV Agusta. Together, we’ve designed timepieces that transform engineering into emotion, celebrating style, performance, and Italian heritage.”

The chronograph edition comes with a quick-release steel bracelet, and is paired with a brown leather strap. The time-only version also includes a brown leather strap, however, it gets a second strap that consists of perforated black rubber.

Filippo Bassoli, Chief Brand & Marketing Officer of MV Agusta, added: 

“Every MV Agusta motorcycle is born from the fusion of extreme engineering and iconic design. Collaborating with Wyler Vetta allowed us to bring the same philosophy to timepieces: precision, style, and dynamism become a tangible experience worn on the wrist - as if every moment were as intense as a race.”
