Bulgari × Revolution Octo Finissimo XX Anniversario — 5 days on my wrist
About eight months ago, Patrick’s phenomenal Octo thread sent me down the Finissimo rabbit hole. His deep dive felt like a roadmap — blending horological knowledge, design philosophy, and pure passion. It set a benchmark for what a watch community thread can be.
Almost a week ago, I shared that a very special Octo was incoming. It finally arrived last Monday — after a few tense days in customs 😅 — and I had the bracelet sized on Tuesday at my excellent AD.
After several days on the wrist, here are my impressions.
Originally, I was hunting the Lee Ufan — spectacular… and essentially unattainable.
Then one evening, fate (and YouTube) stepped in: Wei Koh and Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani introducing this 20-piece anniversary Finissimo.
• Mirror-polished Grade 5 titanium
• Burgundy fumé dial
• A micro-edition celebrating 20 years of Revolution
Decision made instantly. No hesitation.
This watch is… different.
Day #1: wow. 🙏🙏🙏
Day #2: this is not just another watch nor another Finissimo.
Day #3: this thing has a personality all its own.
Day #4: I enjoy all the details.
• The burgundy fumé dial shifts from warm wine to near-black — hypnotic.
• The polished titanium feels fluid and soft — the opposite of the sharp architectural Octo language; and yes, the tone is very special.
• Ultra-thin comfort: the watch essentially melts into the wrist. You don’t feel it — until the light catches it, and then it becomes sculpture.
Bold and understated at once — a rare combination.
Most Octos are about geometry, angles, tension. This one is about emotion.
What surprised me was how alive the watch feels — how it responds to light and movement.
It keeps revealing itself.
Practical Note: Since I’ve seen a few comments elsewhere: this piece has been running beautifully — accurate, stable and without interruptions.
The movement feels well-regulated, and the platinum micro-rotor likely contributes to the smooth winding and consistent performance.
In short: no issues whatsoever so far.
The Octo Finissimo has many identities: stealth, minimalism, technical virtuosity.
This one? For me this is the poetic OF — quietly confident, expressive and refined.
Nearly a week on the wrist and no doubts:
It was absolutely worth the acquisition.
HAGWE, my dear watch friends — enjoy your time, on and off the wrist. ☺️🙏
