Introduction
Originally released in 2014, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo burst onto the watchmaking scene as Bulgari's latest entrant into the world of angular integrated bracelet timepieces inspired by Gerald Genta's signature design language. Since then, the Octo Finissimo has been Bulgari's most often-used vehicle for horological innovation. A great display of that very horological prowess, the Octo Finissimo ref. 102713 that we have here blends a visually unique monochromatic design with an impressive titanium construction and a mesmerizingly thin BVL 138 movement that packs an impressive 60 hours of power reserve into a movement that is only 2.23mm tall. Released in 2017 as the thinnest automatic watch in the world at the time at only 5.15mm tall and boasting a stealthy grey dial to match its dark grey construction, the Octo Finissimo wears almost invisibly on the wrist, with its case and bracelet both being incredibly compact and light.

THE DIAL
Featuring a truly monochromatic dial, the Octo's black hands, hour markers, and subdial, all blend in with its grey dial that then perfectly matches its grey titanium case and bracelet for a stealthy monochromatic experience on the wrist.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Amazingly thin as per Bulgari's innovative efforts as of late, this example is just 5.15mm tall and wears on the wrist unlike any other watch you are likely to have worn.

Our Perspective
Capable of celebrating Genta's iconic design language while simultaneously slingshotting Bulgari into the pantheon of great modern watchmakers, the Octo Finissimo signals an exciting time for the Italian brand as they explore areas of watchmaking that were once only available to brands like the Holy Trinity and other high-level watchmakers.
