New incoming! Bulgari Octo Finissimo Revolution Limited Edition Watch

Dear Friends,
I am happy to share my latest incoming: the Bulgari Octo Finissimo "Revolution" limited edition watch!

I saw from a previous post that the enthusiasm for this model is not the highest but in person the watch its just stunning and ultra light!





The watch has the same skeletonised dial and case of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater (the slimmest minute repeater in the world) that is in the ultra light and robust grade 5 titanium



The movement is the manufacture BLV 128 that at 36.60 mm fits perfectly in the 40 mm case. 65 hours power reserve with the revolution logo in the power reserve indicator (very discrete). 
This is a limited edition of 50 pieces but all marked 1 of 50 so everyone is equal smile


The watch is very comfortable and it wears bigger than a 40mm but -- also thanks to the 5.15 mm thickness that makes it really finisssimo!

matching buckle in titanium



WOW !
I am very impressed by the quality of this piece and the in-house capability of bulgari (case, dial and movement produced in-house). I found the watch perfect for everyday and a well
executed collaboration with revolution that made this possible.  
Very pleased and happy about this ultra thin masterpiece!
Christian

you like it ! and I agree Titanium should be more resistant too. With your approval the watch looks even better

Momentous watch!

From my point of view, divisive watches such as your new Bulgari are probably the most interesting ones because they offer something different (you can love or not) and they shake established order up. Enjoy and wear it in good health Best wishes Alkiro

thanks Alkiro..indeed a think some design/styles should be different

else there would be no fun. Also having many watches I like being surprised and this one was a big surprise in terms of photos vs. reality!

Absolutely agree with you Christian

BIG congrats Christian!!!

I had a chance to put Wei's on last week at SIHH and was amazed at how light and thin it was. It is truly an amazing watch and even though personally I am a fan of bigger watches... this still ticks the box due to the case width. The finishing looked real... 

thanks Andrew ! I actually spotted it from Wei Instagram I think...and

was just thinking WOW what is it ? It looked like the minute repeater (which would be off limit for my budget) but then found out about the special edition. I was amazed too about the weight..super wearable and the case/dial combination is amazing.

Lack of enthusiasm?

Not with me at all! I am a big fan of this concept. Great work by Bvlgari and great modifications for this edition. Sincere congrats to this addition, which appears to me as one of the best ones in your tremendous collection as far as I can judge. Enjoy t... 

thanks Kolosstt

glad to see some enthusiasm as you say a lot of modifications for this LE so it lives up to the name!

Definitely a nice piece!

Great iconic case design, sober layout on the dial, clean, elegant, and an overall nice design! Congrats! The strap looks very modern without stitching, but in my experience straps without stitching end up having a lot of problems as they wear. The warmth... 

thanks Patrick...I will !

perhaps should order already a new strap for when this will be too used In general I am very happy if I "finish" a strap because it means I have been using the watch a lot. Some friends tease me that in my collection some watches looks newer than in the s... 

Having seen firsthand of how watches are treated at retailers...

Having seen firsthand of how watches are treated at retailers, I can very quickly say that a lot of us probably have used watches that are in similar condition as the new watches at the retailer. They go through a lot at the store!

Octo is the only, true novelty of the last years

The design has been improved and the finissimo reference is stunning. Ultrathineven more than the famous sporty watches that every aficionado would own (i don't need to mention them). It must be said that the Finissimo reference has no date, thus the prop... 

sure will take some macro when I have a bit of time...

is really much thinner than my nautilus and obviously a very difference concept design (not much water resistance on the Bulgari) but...is almost as slim as the vacheron historique ultra fine. I also love the power reserve indicator that helps me to stay ... 

Nautilus comparison is essential

Obviously, when you have spare time.

thank you! appreciated :) [nt]

yes I do love grey dials but I do keep myself ...

 
 By: christianch : January 26th, 2017-19:39
open to other possibilities I have also a nautilus with white dial, gondolo in blue... Rolex dd with green dial... may be next would be the red swiss mad (the WG not the cheese one) from Moser! loved the cosmic green too!

Congrats

I have tried this lovely piece recently, very nice I fell into love with it. Stefan

thanks Stefan indeed is easy to fall in love..

 
 By: christianch : January 29th, 2017-09:04
very light and practical. The only other one with the same case material is the minute repeater so is pretty exclusive too!!

Great piece. I love the look.
