Tried on the Octo Finissimo yesterday...

 

I finally got round to trying on the new Octo Finissimo yesterday and I have to say I was impressed. The one in the pictures below was the New York Boutique LE (15 examples).

It’s hard to imagine just how the thin the watch is (40mm diameter, 5.15mm thick) and the full titanium construction leads to a weight that makes the watch seem almost fake! The case construction and bracelet were very good, and the clasp well engineered as well. It was super comfortable as is, and I imagine once sized would be even more so.

The movement is pretty awesome as well. Some quick notes - Caliber BVL 138 is 36.6mm x 2.23mm (!), with a platinum micro-rotor and ~60 hour power reserve (!!).

The one immediate downside is the 30m water resistance; if it had 100m or so I could imagine this being a compelling daily wear piece without the need to be overly concerned about scratches (Royal Oaks and Nautilus I’m looking at you).

Well done Bvlgari!
