With its three towering masts, the Italian flag proudly hoists atop it as it sails the world's oceans. Bvlgari pays homage to the world's most beautiful training ship, the Amerigo Vespucci.


To perpetuate the spirit of Amerigo Vespucci, the great Italian adventurer for whom the United States is named, and to pay tribute to the pride felt by the many young Italian marines who trained aboard the historic ship, Bvlgari has powerfully expressed contemporary Italian design with the Bvlgari Aluminium, crafted from aluminum, titanium and rubber.

Inside the 40mm diameter case, water resistant to 100m, beats the automatic caliber BVL192. It also features a GMT function, with an arrow at the tip of the hand indicating a second time zone on the dial, adorned in Italian and yellow colors.

Limited to 1,000 pieces, the watch comes in a mahogany box engraved with the Vespucci motto, "Non chi cominicia ma quel che persevere" (Rather than being the vanguard, be he who sees it through).


Celebrating an indomitable spirit
Bvlgari Aluminium Amerigo Vespucci Limited Edition

The Italian Navy training ship Amerigo Vespucci is about to depart. Continuing to pursue the destiny of a historic Florentine explorer, the spirit of this sailing vessel has fostered a sense of mission among generations of marines since 1931. The Bvlgari Aluminium Amerigo Vespucci Limited Edition embodies Bvlgari's homage to the spirit of this great ship. Bold, timeless and durable, and at its heart a desire for exploration and excellence, this timepiece sets sail with its sails billowing in the wind.

Italian Navy Training Ship Amerigo Vespucci

Italian esprit de corps and indomitable spirit

The Bvlgari Aluminium Amerigo Vespucci Limited Edition. Paying homage to the Italian Navy training ship Vespucci and its traditions, this timepiece is painted in the colors of this proud ship. A luminous arrow-shaped hand indicating the second time zone circles the dial once every 24 hours. The outer periphery is color-coded for the 12 hours of day and night, with a black-and-yellow contrast reminiscent of the Vespucci's gold plating and jet-black railings. The GMT hand can be adjusted independently via the titanium crown. The Super-LumiNova®-coated indexes and hands evoke the stars that guide sailors. A yellow rhodium-plated hand indicates the seconds, and the watch features a date display at 3 o'clock. The 40mm aluminum case is water resistant to 100 meters, and the titanium caseback is engraved with the ship's name, "Nave Scuola Amerigo Vespucci," and its motto. The articulated rubber strap, a signature element of Bvlgari Aluminum, combines robustness and flexibility, embodying the daring spirit of a watch made for born explorers.


The Italian Navy's intrepid ship, the Amerigo Vespucci, aptly named after the 15th century explorer Amerigo Vespucci, retracing his steps as the first man to land in the Americas. During their training aboard the Vespucci, young Italian Marines develop values such as respect for history and tradition, and a commitment to serving their homeland. At the same time, they develop a strong sense of unity, fostering mutual growth and growth through the combined talents and strengths of their members, forming the foundation for collective success. Overcoming the many challenges and obstacles of their voyage, remaining true to their path, this is the essence of what Italians call "indomitable spirit."


A Solid New Wave Aesthetic

Launched in 1998, this model combines aluminum and rubber, expressing the aesthetics of Italian design through its black and white color scheme, while remaining one of Bvlgari's signature timepieces, combining comfortable functionality with a sporty design.

This model is also equipped with the BVL192 caliber, an automatic mechanical movement with a vibration frequency of 4 Hz.
