For 10 years, the Octo collection has made its mark in Haute Horlogerie with its technical excellence, iconic form and distinctive monochrome style. This sophisticated and contemporary collection embodies the dual identities of Bvlgari watches: a fusion of Swiss rigor and Italian elegance. Its refined, understated and masculine presence continues to appeal to connoisseurs and lovers of minimalist design with solid technical expertise.

To celebrate this slim and stylish icon, Bvlgari is releasing two commemorative models that return to the concept's roots, adapting the first sketches drawn by Executive Director of Product Creation, Fabrizio Bonamassa Stigliani. Years after those initial sketches, those pencil sketches have given life to the unmistakable Octo Finissimo lines and now complement the engraved dials of two flagship models in titanium: the Octo Finissimo Automatic and the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic.


This lightweight, monochrome commemorative model perfectly embodies Bvlgari's approach to masculine elegance while paying homage to two iconic timepieces in the Octo Finissimo story. The Octo Finissimo Automatic, released in 2017, was the thinnest ultra-thin watch on the market at the time, boasting a movement just 2.23mm thick with a micro-rotor for an overall thickness of 5.15mm, setting the collection's third world record. Two years later, in 2019, the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic was released, achieving the fifth milestone as the thinnest mechanical chronograph with GMT function in watchmaking history, measuring just 3.3mm thick.


Embodying the aesthetics of the Octo Finissimo collection, the case, dial and bracelet are crafted from ultra-lightweight titanium, exuding a modern look and unparalleled elegance. Inspired by masterpieces of Italian architecture, the strong and bold case lines evoke Bvlgari's Roman roots, while the radiant brilliance of its facets captivates. The sandblasted titanium contrasts with the black PVD-coated hands, indexes and Bvlgari logo, as well as the engraved small seconds counter, which recreates an early sketch by Fabrizio Bonamassa Stigliani. This model combines excellent legibility with the style of the original. The sleek 40mm case with ceramic crown and smooth integrated bracelet with flexible links create a light and comfortable fit on the wrist.


This elegant commemorative model, limited to 200 pieces, is a testament to the sublimation of technical expertise. Combining design and cutting-edge technology within an exceptionally slim case, it once again demonstrates Bvlgari's watchmaking and creative talent.
