Bvlgari's basic masterpiece OCTO FINSSIMO AUTOMATIC continues to be updated in 2024, and the brand simultaneously unveils two new models, including OCTO FISSIMO Yellow Gold Automatic and OCTO FINSSIMO Tuscan Copper Automatic. Add even more variety to this piece, which won the Best Men's Watch Award at the GPHG Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève.
Octto Finissimo Automatic thickness is only 6At 4mm, it is one of the slimmest automatic small three-hand watches on the market.
The year 2024 is particularly meaningful for Octo Finisimo, a work that focuses on ultra-thin design, because in 2012, Bulgari first moved the Octo watch from Gérald Genta, which was still under its umbrella at the time, to develop into a collection (so that the face plate no longer puts the dual brand logo at the same time), and in 2014, it stepped out of the framework of the old era and launched the OCTO Finisimo family with an emphasis on ultra-thin design. From 2014 to 2022, the brand broke the world record for ultra-thin watches eight times in nine years, and OCTO Finissimo Automatic was also a member of the record-setting competition.
The new OCTO Finissimo Automatic** case with a sunburst dark blue lacquer gives it an elegant and sophisticated feel.
Since its debut in 2017, OCTO FINSSIMO AUTOMATIC has been extended to different materials, colours, and even versions with skeleton movements, but in 2024, one of Bulgari's two new models is the first to try to use ** material, which reflects the gold watch boom that has quietly recovered in recent years, and the other is made of stainless steel, which OCTO FINSSIMO AUTOMATIC is no stranger to. However, this time, the brand has made a big fuss about the color of the dial, reinterpreting the signature intricate lines of the stainless steel case OCTO FINISSIMO ultra-thin automatic watch with a special color scheme.
BVL 138 automatic calibre only 2At 23 mm, it features a platinum micro-rotor that delivers 60 hours of kinetic energy, and the movement is polished in a haute horlogerie style.
First of all, I saw the OCTO FINISSIMO Yellow Gold Automatic, Bulgari cut this precious material into a delicate case with 110 facets, including the bracelet is also made of **, and the case and bracelet parts are polished and brushed respectively, and the rich facets co-create a dazzling visual layer. The hand dial is finished in a deep blue lacquer that has previously appeared on the stainless steel OCTO FINISIMO Automatic, with an elegant and mature blue color with sunburst accents, and gold indexes and hands on the upper dial, which inject a sleek and elegant personality into the watch's sporty and resolute style. Today's Octo Finissimo Automatic has a case thickness of 6At 4mm, it is slightly thicker than when it debuted, and the reason for this is that Bulgari has imposed the waterproof performance of the watch, raising it to a level of 100 meters, showing better wearing function. At the heart of this watch is the BVL 138 calibre, which offers a transparent case back for admiring the hand-applied polishing, chamfering, fish scales and Cève de Genève decorations, as well as the small but efficient oscillating maneuvers of the platinum micro-rotor.
The combination of Octo Finisimo in stainless steel and a rare Tuscan Copper face plate was originally limited to the North American market in 2023 and is now further expanded to the global market.
The other OCTO Finissimo Tuscan Copper Automatic looks a little familiar, in fact, it was launched in 2023, but Bulgari was limited to the North American market at that time, the number was only a small 50, and in 2024, the brand will promote this watch to the world and no longer sell in limited quantities, greatly increasing the probability of watch fans. The stainless steel used in the watch is 904L stainless steel, which is relatively rare in the watch world, and it has high corrosion resistance, high metal purity, and a stronger luster after polishing, which is complemented by the Tuscan Copper dial, which is rare in the brand's watches. The so-called"tuscan copper"A shade of copper, Bulgari was inspired by the Italian Mannerist art of the 16th century, such as Jacopo da Pontormo, who was known for his vivid and almost metallic painterly hues.
The Octo Finisimo Automatic, in a rare dial colour, is also powered by the BVL 138 calibre, which is only 223mm is the main key to the record-breaking of the watch that year, don't look at its thin size, but the power reserve of the movement can still reach 60 hours, and the waterproof performance of the watch has also been optimized, which is equal to the combination of aesthetics, design, craftsmanship and practicality, which is worthy of the title of the best men's watch.
