To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Octo collection, Bulgari is expanding its Octo Finissimo range with the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT model in pink gold and the Octo Finissimo Automatic in pink or yellow gold.
Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic Gold
This new edition of the Automatic Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT watch features a satin-brushed rose gold case and a subtle brown-lacquered dial.
Launched in 2019, the automatic GMT chronograph from the Octo Finissimo range holds a world thinness record at just 3.3 mm thick.
The ultra-thin 43 mm-diameter octagonal case is water-resistant to 100 metres. It is fitted with a brown alligator leather strap secured by a folding clasp.
Controlled by pushers on either side of the case, the chronograph and GMT functions are driven by BVL Calibre 318, an integrated automatic Manufacture movement. Naturally sophisticated and subtly ostentatious, this GMT chronograph with its ultra-thin rose gold case remains to this day the slimmest mechanical chronograph ever made.

Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Gold
The new gold version of the Octo Finissimo Automatic is a distillation of purity and restraint, the two signature features of the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo collection.
Whether in rose or yellow gold, the play on contrasts between these gleaming shades and the brown-lacquered dial gives these models a powerful personality. Another contrast seen for the first time in this collection lies in the alternating matt and polished effects on the case and bracelet, heralding a brilliant chapter in the saga of the Finissimo line.
These models beat to the rhythm of the optimised self-winding Manufacture movement, BVL Calibre 138. With its 208 components and 31 jewels, the new version retains its record slimness of 2.23 mm. It also features a new automatic winding system, the introduction of a closed barrel and a new structure for the escapement and balance.
While the rose gold model is part of the regular collection, the yellow gold version, reserved for the American market, is offered in a 50-piece limited edition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Bulgari boutique in the United States.
