Bulgari Octo
Think of the Bulgari Octo as Italian design meeting Swiss precision, shaped like wearable architecture. Launched in 2012 after Bulgari absorbed the Gérald Genta design legacy, it turned a classical idea, the octagon framed by a round bezel, into a crisp modern signature. The result is a luxury sports watch that can slip into dress territory, especially in ultra-thin form. Its hallmarks are record-setting thinness, sharply tapered integrated bracelets, and a silhouette you can spot from across a room.
Within the line, three pillars define the family: Octo L'Originale, the faceted, graphic debut look; Octo Roma, a softer, more rounded take suited to daily wear; and Octo Finissimo, the ultra-thin showcase that rewrote what a modern mechanical watch could feel like on the wrist. Along the way, Bulgari explored attitude-driven variants like Ultranero (DLC-coated black) and Velocissimo (high-beat chronographs that nod to speed).
Design identity, why the Octo looks so Octo
The geometry does the talking. An octagonal mid-case and round bezel stack planes, edges, and shadow lines in a way that reads architectural but wearable. Surfaces alternate between sandblasted matte and satin-polished sheen, turning even time-only references into small sculptures. The integrated bracelet mirrors the case with thin links that step and taper cleanly. It feels modern and distinctive without borrowing from anyone else.
Movements and technical focus
Bulgari made the Octo synonymous with thinness for a reason. In-house movements power the family, including a micro-rotor automatic in the Octo Finissimo that keeps height down while maintaining winding convenience. The Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT uses a peripheral rotor, a smart way to wind the watch without stacking thickness. Across the range you will find hand-wound calibres, skeleton executions, and high complications that set multiple world records for thinness. Water resistance varies: many Finissimo pieces are tuned for everyday life rather than rough sport, while the steel Finissimo S and Octo Roma push toward more versatile ratings.
Materials and finishes
The Octo platform thrives on material experimentation. Sandblasted titanium delivers the featherweight feel Finissimo is loved for. Steel, especially in satin-polished Finissimo S guise, adds brightness and more robust specs. Ceramic and DLC-coated cases bring stealth; carbon and CarbonGold references add texture and warmth. For precious-metal flair, rose gold and platinum executions keep profiles surprisingly slim.
Sizes, dials, and bracelets
Wearability spans broadly. Octo Finissimo typically lands around 40 mm, the Chronograph GMT stretches slightly larger, and Octo Roma ranges from compact everyday to sportier chronograph sizes. L'Originale reads bolder thanks to its sharper facets. Dials run from sandblasted gray and matte black to sunray blue and silver, with minimalist batons on Finissimo, mixed indices on Roma, and skeleton layouts on select references. Bracelets are integrated and material-matched, with leather or rubber straps offered across the line for quieter or more casual character.

Pricing and how to think about it
New Octo Roma and entry Octo Finissimo automatics often start in the mid to high four figures and move into the low five figures, roughly from about €7.500 to €15.000 depending on material and water resistance. Ceramic, precious-metal, and skeleton pieces typically climb from €15.000 to €35.000. Complications move the needle: Chronograph GMT, perpetual calendar, and tourbillon references range from the high five figures to well above €100.000, with minute repeaters and platinum executions in rarer territory. Pre-owned interest is strong for early titanium Finissimo and black Ultranero models, with pricing shaped by condition, completeness, and whether a reference held a thinness record.
