Bulgari revisits two flagship Octo Finissimo watches.
With eight world records since 2014, the Octo Finissimo legion marches forward to consolidate Bulgari’s ultra-thin watch empire. Just a few days after the unveiling of the mind-bogglingly thin Octo Finissimo Ultra, the Roman Maison presents new iterations of some of its Haute Horlogerie complication models, namely the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater and Tourbillon Chronograph Skeleton Automatic, with new colourways and new materials.
Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Titanium/Blue
Standing out by its refined design and technicality, the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater is the thinnest minute repeater ever with a movement of 3.12mm housed in a 6.61mm case. The model was originally presented in 2016. The new version combines a sandblasted titanium case and a matte blue openworked dial. Just like for previous versions, the hour-markers and small seconds are openworked. These apertures allow Bulgari to further enhance the acoustic properties of the watch.

The 43mm case frames an elegant openworked dial with two grey chronograph registers, revealing the BVL 388 skeletonized in-house calibre and its Tourbillon at 6 o’clock. Turning the watch over, the exhibition case back allows you to discover the other side of the movement with its chronograph mechanism and its peripheral rotor. The chronograph is a single push-piece mechanism. The 2 o’clock pusher is used to start, stop and reset the chronograph. The 4 o’clock pusher allows you to drive a column/star wheel to select the crown function and switch between setting and winding options.
