Bulgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT for Revolution

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

While famed for their jewellery and other fashion-related endeavours, Bulgari has taken appreciable steps in advancing their horological standing far beyond what most would have considered possible in recent years. From their near-endless list of world record achievements and consistent output of stunning designs lies one model that has acted as the vehicle for all of this innovation, the Octo Finissimo. Inspired by Roman architecture, the Octo Finissimo is immediately recognisable thanks to its strong lines, stunning bracelet and octagonal dial. Launched in 2021 as a collaborative project between Bulgari and The Rake and Revolution, the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT for The Rake and Revolution is a distinguished timepiece that grabs attention no matter what. With a 42mm-wide sandblasted titanium construction highlighting its unique bracelet and case design, the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT offers a matte finish that draws attention to its real party piece, its dial. Featuring a chronograph and GMT function thanks to its automatic cal. BVL318 movement, its white sandblasted titanium dial houses three subdials, which are all dedicated to its eponymous functions. However, the dial's true genius comes from its bright white surface, as it is painted entirely with Super-LumiNova. The Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT’s dial glows a bright shade of green in the darkness that illuminates its functions and black dial inscriptions and hour markets like a backlight. Limited to just 25 pieces, this is a truly special watch.

THE DIAL

Echoing the timepiece's construction, the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT features a sandblasted titanium dial that transforms from a bright white during the daytime to a luminous green at night due to the entire dial being coated with Super-LumiNova.

THE CONSTRUCTION

Buoyed by Bulgari's constant attempts to create the world's thinnest watches in their respective categories, the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT measures an incredibly thin 6.90mm tall.

Our Perspective

Incredibly unique thanks to the Octo's impressively thin design and light on the wrist thanks to its titanium construction, the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT is a truly fun watch to wear, a fact only compounded by its transformative dial that comes alive in the dark like none other.
