Neither Round Nor Square


The "Bulgari Octo" is designed with the octagon as its motif, a shape that has held various symbolic meanings since antiquity across Europe and Asia. Its contemporary appearance, boldly framed by a round bezel, is Bulgari's new flagship timepiece that shatters conventional notions of men's watches.

The case of the "Bulgari Octo," with its contours expressing the watch's strength and power, and its strict lines, is composed of 110 parts, meticulously finished by hand. The new model features a traditional three-hand and date display that complements the Octo series' functionality, while the elegant black lacquer and polished dials, crafted in-house, highlight its simplicity.

Naturally, the movement housed within delivers performance befitting its perfected design. The automatic caliber BVL193 employs a unidirectional winding system with a ball-bearing mounted oscillating weight. To ensure long-lasting, stable accuracy, it is equipped with twin barrels.

The "Bulgari Octo" cultivates the refined余裕 (yoyu - composure/leeway) of a sophisticated man. It is a watch that attempts to break away from conventional concepts to clearly define one's own status.
