Bulgari Bvlgari Octo 41 Red ref. BGO 41 S/102738 – NEW, Black DLC & Rubber strap

If when you hear the words ”fashion watch”, you think of Bvlgari – you know.
You know that Bvlgari’s horological department is helmed by Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani. You know of his army of 300 master-watchmakers and their superb facilities where over 30 in-house movements are being produced. And of course, you know that Gerald Genta didn’t design watches for just anybody.
The watch on offer here, The Bvlgari Octo, is one of the most potent traces of Mr. Genta’s legacy, with a case that looks just as innovative today as it did when he first thought it up in his studio during the late nineties. The design was originally released under his eponymous brand, which Bvlgari later acquired and – as the Octo Red makes plain to see – has been taking good care of since. In this rendition of the legendary model, the case measures at a balanced 41 mm and is covered in scratch-resistant Diamond-Like Carbon, which gives it its imposing black color. The dial showcases a deep lacquered black, which backdrops a set of blood-red skeletonized sword hands and applied stick and Arabic numeral indices. Like all watches thought up by Genta, the Octo Red comes with an integrated (rubber) strap that ensures both optimal comfort and aesthetic consistency. Truly, this timepiece is a testament to the reverence to Genta’s legacy instilled by Mr. Stigliani.
Inside, proudly displayed by the sapphire caseback, the double-barrel caliber BVL191 is ticking confidently away. It comes decorated with perlage, cotes de Geneve, and chamfering finishing, and it boasts a power reserve of 42 hours.
Our offering is brand new and comes in a full set of boxes and papers.

The watch is covered by 2 years of limited warranty from ChronoTimepieces.
