Three new limited edition models added to the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo collection

Apr 14, 2022

Since its launch in 2014, the Octo Finissimo collection has carved its mark on contemporary Haute Horlogerie. The quest for ultra-compactness has resulted in an astonishingly thin and understated design, making the Octo Finissimo a true contemporary icon. Paying tribute to the world record-breaking achievement and the exceptional style of this iconic timepiece, Bvlgari is introducing three new limited edition Octo Finissimo models: the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater, the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT, and the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Chronograph Skeleton, a timepiece that captivates watch connoisseurs and lovers of Italian elegance. These three iconic models demonstrate Bvlgari's craftsmanship, seamlessly combining technical excellence, aesthetic refinement, and modernity.

Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater
Two years after the debut of the Octo Finissimo collection, in 2016 Bvlgari took a firm step into the exclusive world of haute horlogerie complications with the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater, the thinnest chiming watch on the market. Boasting an impressive complication and a slim profile (movement thickness: 3.12 mm, case thickness: 6.61 mm), it stands out for its modern and refined design. The 40 mm octagonal case is crafted from ultra-light titanium and is complemented by a titanium dial, open-worked indexes, and small seconds. The stylish opening further enhances the titanium's excellent acoustic properties. Bvlgari has reinterpreted the bold and powerful style of this highly complicated mechanism in a strikingly modern way, crafting it from sandblasted titanium, with an openworked matte blue dial and a structured rubber strap. Its understated, contemporary case houses the manual-winding BVL362 manufacture movement, providing the hours, minutes, small seconds and minute repeater functions.



Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT
The Octo Finissimo collection is characterized by technical innovation and slender lines. The Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT, emblematic of its monochrome style, made its debut in 2019, setting a new record for the world's thinnest timepiece at just 3.3mm thick. Now, this sporty yet seductive model has been reinterpreted in all-stainless steel. The ultra-thin octagonal case, measuring 43mm in diameter and featuring a satin-brushed finish, is water-resistant to 100m, making it both functional and elegant, a stylish creation for any occasion. The silver-tone dial with vertical satin brushing accentuates the tone-on-tone design, creating a discreet yet modern impression. The bracelet is crafted from brushed stainless steel for a comfortable fit. The chic, sporty case is powered by the BVL318 caliber, a movement renowned for its Haute Horlogerie design, fully manufactured in-house with chronograph and GMT functions. While retaining its status as the thinnest mechanical chronograph ever made, this ultra-thin case perfectly combines design and technology.





Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Chronograph Skeleton
Continuing its pursuit of further feats in the field of thinnest watches, Bvlgari set a world record for the sixth consecutive year in 2020 with the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Chronograph Skeleton. The automatic skeleton movement, equipped with a single push-button chronograph and tourbillon functions, is just 3.5 mm thick. This model, combining sophisticated technology with a strikingly modern design, is now available in a new platinum case. The 43 mm case, white gold and ceramic crown, and elegant openwork dial feature two gray counter chronographs, and the skeletonized in-house caliber BVL388 and tourbillon are fully visible at 6 o'clock. The watch is complemented by a blue alligator leather strap with a platinum buckle and blue hands.
