The Octo Finissimo Automatic Lineup Expands | BVLGARI


BVLGARI


The Octo Finissimo Automatic, first introduced in 2017,
welcomes new additions to its lineup.


The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic, which debuted in 2017 as the world's thinnest self-winding wristwatch, garnered significant attention. This year, the collection has been further enriched with the introduction of stainless steel and 18K rose gold models.

The clean, white hue of the stainless steel model is striking.


In the five years since its debut in 2014, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo collection has set world records for thinness across four types of movements: the Tourbillon, Minute Repeater, Automatic, and Tourbillon Automatic.

The complex, multi-faceted 110-facet structure of the original Octo design has been thinned and evolved into a modern interpretation. Equipped with an ultra-thin in-house movement, it proposes a new style of thin watchmaking that only Bulgari can achieve.

The slim case and bracelet offer exceptional comfort. In particular, the Octo Finissimo Automatic has gained popularity among business professionals worldwide.



The highly anticipated new stainless steel and 18K rose gold models have arrived this year for the Octo Finissimo Automatic.

For the stainless steel model, to achieve Bulgari's unique color, yellow gold is vapor-deposited onto the base stainless steel, followed by coatings of rhodium and palladium. Furthermore, a sandblasting finish enhances its matte appearance.

The 18K rose gold case model also features a similar sandblasting finish, pursuing a heritage-inspired aesthetic that resonates with the ancient ruins of Rome, Bulgari's home. Additionally, a new titanium model with blue indices will be released in September.

The watch is powered by Bulgari's in-house automatic movement, Caliber BVL138, which features a platinum micro-rotor and measures just 2.23mm thick. The movement can be admired through the exhibition case back.
