1 0 1 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I T he new Octo Velocissimo transcends pure function to acquire a broader dimension that’s charged with aesthetic and emotional overtones. The ultimate urban watch, the Octo Velocissimo is made for powerful personalities. This is a technically oriented, thoroughbred creation that displays uncommon style. It wears the face of a chronograph made in a pure and classic tradition. Three counters arranged in a “V” configuration balance the watch face. The hours and minutes displays are supplemented by a central sweep seconds hand and a date window between 4 and 5 o’clock. All of this information is harmoniously positioned on an elegant hand-polished and lacquered black dial. The Octo Finissimo’s striking extra-thin Finissimo calibre, developed and manufactured in-house, is among the very best in this category. This mechanical hand-wound movement, only 2.23 mm thick, is housed in the Octo case, a contemporary and architectural icon that combines strength and beauty in equal measure to create a refined, striking, exceptional timepiece. With its elegant hour and minute displays and a small second hand, the Finissimo calibre heralds a new family of Bulgari movements. It joins the Solotempo calibre, also developed and manufactured in-house, which drives the newOcto 38 mmwatch and the iconic Bulgari Bulgari.
