Bulgari

I tried on the new smaller sized Bulgari Octo and it feels great on the wrist!

 

I love how the strap is wide so it makes wearing the Octo very comfortable.  The brushed bezel contrasts nicely with the polished case and skeleton hands.

Some of you may have tried on the original larger Octo and found the lugs extending over your wrist.  You won't have this problem with this new smaller Octo.  Watch fits perfectly on the wrist and is fairly thin so it'll be a perfect dress watch for many.

The movement rotor isn't visually decorated that well.  I find it a little boring and wish more work went into the decoration and design.

In any case, the Octo is a stunning watch.  Below is the rose gold version.  Both stainless steel and rose gold versions have the same shiny solid black dial.

Another thing I could see improvement is the date window which I felt was a tad too small.  It made the date difficult to read IMO. 

The Octo comes with a deployant clasp and it fits snugly on the wrist. I usually don't like deployants but this one was very comfortable, and the wide strap definitely adds to wearability.

I'm been waiting to try these on the wrist ever since I saw Oliver's lives pictures from the Octo launch in Rome couple months ago.  I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I like these new smaller Octo's! 

Cheers,
Anthony
