A 2020 Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Black Reference 103297, a remarkable fusion of bold Italian design and exceptional Swiss watchmaking.

The understated matte black dial is complemented by applied steel indexes, skeletonised hands and an elegant offset small seconds display. Through the sapphire exhibition case back sits the extraordinary in-house Bulgari Calibre BVL 138, an ultra-thin automatic movement measuring just 2.23mm thick, beautifully decorated and featuring a platinum micro-rotor.

Description

Here we have a 2020 Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Black 103297 with a satin-polished 40mm stainless steel octagonal case that has a slim profile and faceted accents leading to angular lugs; a lug-to-lug length of 46mm and a case thickness of just 6.5mm ensure a comfortable fit on your wrist. A perfect blend of Italian design and Swiss horology, combining the worlds of the jeweller and the watchmaker, the watch and movement were first introduced to BaselWorld in 2017. On the right side, an octagonal crown with a black ceramic insert and a smooth bezel holds a flat sapphire crystal above a black matte textured dial; the octagonal theme continues with the inner chapter ring, applied steel 12, 6 and baton indexes in between mark the hours; at the lower left we have a sub-seconds with skeletonised Dauphine's hour and minute hand completing this distinctive slim dress watch; at 12 o’clock we have the Bulgari motif; as you rotate your wrist, the hands and indexes play with the light. On the reverse, a screwed-down exhibition case with hexagon screws, inside an incredibly thin automatic Bulgari Cal. BVL 138, 36 jewels, beating at 21,600 beats per hour; in the top right, we have a Platinum micro-rotor, and the 2.23mm movement is decorated in beautiful Côtes de Genève and perlage.

Personal Note

I genuinely don't think there's anything quite like the Bulgari Octo Finissimo. At just 6.5mm thick, it's insanely slim, and the way it wears on the wrist is absolutely incredible. What makes it so special for me is the combination of that wide, angular case and ridiculously thin profile. It has a real presence on the wrist without feeling bulky in the slightest, and the integrated bracelet is just fantastic. It's one of those watches you really need to try on to appreciate. And then there's that incredible movement tucked away inside, which is an achievement in itself. I've priced this one to fly, and with the additional Bulgari leather strap included, I genuinely think it's incredibly hard to beat for the money. An awful lot of watch for the price so snap it up and add it to your collection today!

About Bulgari

Founded in Rome in 1884 by the highly talented Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari, the brand quickly gained a reputation for Italian excellence with incredible craftsmanship and finest jewellery creations. In 1905, they opened a store in Condotti called the “Old Curiosity Shop” to take advantage of the wealthy British and American tourists visiting Rome. During the 1940s, they designed a watch that coils around your wrist like a snake. Their watches have been worn by many movie stars, including Liz Taylor, Richard Burton, and Audrey Hepburn. Today, they are a subsidiary of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, joined by brands like TAG Heuer and Hublot.
