Bulgari Octo Roma: THE OCTAGON STYLE

Bulgari is redefining the octagonal with Its unique round-but-not-round design combining two distinct geometric shapes, round and octagonal.

First introduced in 2012, Octo has had a considerable impact on the watchmaking communities over the last decade. With its distinctive innovative and contemporary Italian-style design, the Octo Roma offers a range of options, from a gorgeous automatic watch to a stunning chronograph to a mesmerizing tourbillon piece.

Versatile in its distinctive, round-but-not-round aesthetic

The Octo Roma automatic and chronograph models have an interchangeable wristband system, offering the freedom to switch looks whenever desired.

The crown is seamlessly incorporated into the case of these two models and safeguarded by crown protectors - each watch is also water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters.

The case design juxtaposes round and octagonal shapes, creating an intricate interplay of textures, light, and shadow.

The Octo Roma Chronograph is the first in the collection, powered by the Calibre BVL 399, a Swiss-made in-house mechanical movement.

The Octo Roma Tourbillons represent the perfect fusion of Swiss watchmaking excellence and Roman creativity, with each timepiece exhibiting a singular blend of technical precision and artistic vision.

Octo Roma Automatic - Offbeat Classic

The 41mm automatic mechanical version with three hands and date is powered by the in-house Calibre BVL 191, featuring a power reserve of 42 hours. The model comes in blue, anthracite, and white, enhanced with the Clous de Paris motifs’ 3D effect. The hands are enhanced with Super-LumiNova®.

Octo Roma Chronograph

The Octo Roma Chronograph is distinguished by a sleek dial, with a clear and legible display in blue or black. It features a chronograph function with a central seconds hand, a 30-minute counter, and a 12-hour counter. The Calibre BVL 399 is a Swiss-made in-house mechanical movement with automatic winding. Highly accurate and reliable, the mechanism operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

This 42mm watch appeals to the aesthete who appreciates a blend of traditional craftsmanship and bold, contemporary design.

Octo Roma: four exceptional tourbillons

The generous forms of Octo Roma can accommodate various complications, making it a suitable platform for showcasing Bulgari’s Haute Horlogerie expertise. These tourbillons are a true testament to Bulgari’s excellence in watchmaking. Each model proudly displays its unique features, from the captivating movement of the tourbillon mechanism to the delicate details of the dial.

Two that are one a kind

The Octo Roma Striking Papillon Tourbillon and Striking Tourbillon Saphir have been given a new case, with soft curves for a more refined and lighter feel tending towards the sporty.

The Octo Roma Papillon Tourbillon gives off a powerful, technical, and playful vibe. The Tourbillon is at the center stage with a guaranteed 60-hour power reserve. With its exclusive vivid green tones, the Octo Roma Striking Papillon Tourbillon in a titanium case is a contemporary and urban design for the lover of creative complications.

The Octo Roma Striking Tourbillon Saphir offers an alternative interpretation of modern Haute Horlogerie. The movement is 100% skeletonized, floating in a sea of light that only a case with a sapphire face, back and middle could make possible. The tourbillon is at 6 o'clock.

At 3 o'clock, a singular micro-complication: a push-button as the crown cannot be pulled. Pressing the pusher reveals a discreet red dot in the axis of the winding stem, indicating that the watch can now be adjusted by turning the crown in the traditional way. Pressing it a second time deactivates the time setting: the crown then serves to wind the movement up to its 64-hour power reserve.

Octo Roma "Precious Naturalia" and "Tourbillon Lumière" affirm a common preciousness, sharing the same connection with the mineral element (hard stone or diamond),

Octo Roma Precious Naturalia. Aesthetics and technique play off each other on the same level. The plate on the dial side is adorned with a tiger’s eye, a chatoyant hard stone with brown and gold accents. The stone is cut out over a thickness of just a few tenths of a millimeter to cover each of the 12 indexes.

Each fragment of stone being by nature unique, each watch will also be unique. At the center of this mineral canvas, a skeletonized manufacture movement whose gear train can be observed as it progresses towards the flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock.

The Octo Roma Precious Tourbillon Lumière is the only – and very exclusive – creation for women in the Octo Roma collection.

With a new case size of only 38mm, this piece displays a skeletonized movement, a lacework of rose gold. Circling the delicate diamond minute track, punctuated every five minutes by a ruby. The tourbillon, at 6 o'clock, seems more than ever in suspension. The entire case is set with diamonds.
