From December 1st to 3rd, 2023, in Barcelona, Bulgari announced two chronograph watch models, the "Bulgari Aluminium Gran Turismo Limited Edition," alongside a life-size display of the "Bulgari Aluminium Vision Gran Turismo" concept car. This concept car was developed in partnership with "Gran Turismo," renowned for its realistic driving simulator, and was unveiled at the "Gran Turismo World Series World Finals 2023," the official world championship for the PlayStation®5/PlayStation®4 software "Gran Turismo 7."

In 1998, Bulgari introduced the "Bulgari Aluminium," featuring a lightweight aluminum case, which quickly gained popularity for its innovative design. It has since been cherished as a luxury sports watch. The design, combining aluminum and rubber, draws inspiration from materials used in the automotive industry and received the Red Dot Design Award Best of the Best in 2023.

In this 25th anniversary year of the "Bulgari Aluminium," Bulgari has partnered with "Gran Turismo," famous for its realistic driving simulator that allows virtual driving experiences. Together, they have unveiled the "Bulgari Aluminium Vision Gran Turismo" concept car, designed to race through the virtual world, and the "Bulgari Aluminium Gran Turismo Limited Edition" chronograph watch.

The "Bulgari Aluminium Gran Turismo Limited Edition" comes in two variations: a limited edition of 500 pieces with a yellow dial and black sub-dials, and a limited edition of 1200 pieces featuring an anthracite dial with yellow indices. Retaining its signature sleekness and cool aesthetic, the design is as captivating as if it leaped from the virtual world, perfectly embodying the "Gran Turismo" universe.

The striking yellow dial is inspired by the dashboard dials of legendary Italian Gran Turismo cars from the 1970s. This is paired with a robust yet lightweight aluminum case and soft rubber on the bezel, which is engraved with the "BVLGARI" lettering.

The crown and case back are crafted from highly durable, corrosion-resistant titanium with black DLC coating. The case back is engraved with the logo commemorating the 10th anniversary of "Vision Gran Turismo," a project within the "Gran Turismo" series where car manufacturers and renowned brands design ideal virtual cars. A unique perk of this collaboration is that all purchasers of the "Bulgari Aluminium Gran Turismo Limited Edition" will receive a code for early access to the Bulgari concept car within the game.
