Bulgari has carved out a formidable reputation in the world of horology, distinguished not only by its commitment to crafting ultra-thin watches but also by its impressive collection of nine world records in the design of extra-flat mechanical timepieces.
What sets Bulgari apart is its ability to manage every step of the manufacturing process in-house, from designing bold cases and intricate bracelets to constructing precise movements.
This self-sufficiency empowers Fabrizio Buonamassa, the brand’s Product Creation Executive Director, along with a talented team of designers and artists, to continually innovate across various collections like the Octo Finissimo, Octo Roma, Bulgari Bulgari, and Aluminium.
Here’s a look at five exceptional watches that make enduring gifts.
OCTO ROMA AUTOMATIC WATCH
The Octo Roma is perfect for men who embody an air of enigma and sophistication.
This timepiece artfully marries various shapes, featuring a round bezel that elegantly sits atop a distinctive octagonal base.
The design expands from the central case to the dial, where elongated indices and minute markers echo the structure of the inner ring.
The captivating blue clous de Paris dial adds a touch of flair while a comprehensive Super-LumiNova display ensures readability in any lighting.
Built to withstand adventures, it boasts a water resistance of up to 100 meters and includes a protective screw-down crown.
Coupled with a refined polished and brushed bracelet, the Octo Roma is versatile enough for any occasion.
Priced at $7,300 USD (model reference Bulgari 103739), it’s a timeless choice.
OCTO FINISSIMO AUTOMATIC WATCH
For those who appreciate a seamless blend of modernity and timelessness, the Octo Finissimo Automatic stands out.
With a striking blue dial that showcases a subtle sunburst effect, this model harmonizes circular and angular elements beautifully.
Rhodium-treated applied indices make for excellent readability, and its unique 12 and 6 o’clock markers are complemented by an off-center subsidiary seconds display.
Powered by the remarkably slender BVL 138 in-house caliber, this watch impresses with a 60-hour power reserve and a case thickness of just 6.40mm.
The transparent caseback reveals a mere 2.23mm thick movement, exemplifying the perfect fusion of design and functionality.
Available for $13,500 USD (model reference Bulgari 103431), it is certainly a modern classic.
ALUMINIUM GMT WATCH
Since its introduction in 1998, the Bulgari Aluminium has become a modern icon of style.
Its unique construction features an ultra-light aluminum middle case paired with a resilient titanium caseback and crown, complemented by a flexible rubber bezel and strap.
The comfortable rubber strap wraps effortlessly around the wrist, while the striking white dial features a bold black and red 24-hour GMT display.
For avid travelers, the red-tipped hand makes checking different time zones a breeze.
With a water resistance rating of up to 100 meters, the Aluminium GMT is well suited for an active lifestyle.
