Octo Finissimo Revolution almost 5 years later
Almost 5 years since I bought the Octo Finissimo! Just picked it up from the bank to enjoy it again. A very distinct DNA.
This iteration has roman numerals with some apertures to reveal part of the movement (similar to the minute repeater one) but is manual wind vs the current automatic version.
I also think that the S versions (100 Mt water resistance) are cheaper now than what I paid back then for this titanium version.
How do you like it? Do you have an Octo Finissimo ? Automatic or Manual ? 
Does anyone has both the titanium and steel to give me an idea of the weight differences?
Thanks
Christian
Here I am
I own both titanium and steel (black dial).
Titanium is light, nearly weightless, while the steel is obviously heavier, though it's still a light weight, compared to the list of same style contenders.
What reference is yours?
At first I thought it was the minute repeater, but a button was missing š .
Is it ceramic?
Definitely curious ššš

I admited your pics in the other topics :) this is a titanium limited edition
for revolution (the watch magazine not a real revolution š) is manual wind. It came out in 2017 with the strap. As soon as bulgari produced the bracelet I did change it and it fits 100%.
Good to know that the steel is not too heavy, will need to try it. intersted in the future in the S version with water resistance.
The sandwich dial looks amazing.
This 'time only' looks absolutely stunning, so you know where the design comes from; Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani.
This is one of my favorite Octo Finissimo versions!
First of all... I hate to admit it... Wei Koh, Editor-in-Chief of Revolution, has great taste. There. I've typed it. I can't take it back. This limited edition is so incredibly well conceived that it's one of the best Octo Finissimo timepieces out there. This one and the Tadao Ando in titanium are my two favorite Octo Finissimos. I don't have a lot of experience with the hand wound models, but the automatic ones don't wind perfectly. For instance, my Octo Finissimo, which is automatic, will sometimes stop in the middle of the night, even if I walked 20,000 steps the day prior (that's about 15 kilometers, so that's a fairly active day)! To be fair, this is absolutely normal for thin watches with a micro-rotor movement. My Octo Finissimo is now my daily wear watch!
There are many members here on the forum who own both the titanium version and the steel version. I've tried both, but only own the titanium. The steel version is significantly heavier. But because it's so thin and the weight is distributed so evenly, it's still not a "heavy" watch compared to say a steel Rolex Submariner.
thank you patrick, wow glad to hear that you like this version
I can also see the benefit of manual wind if the automatic tends not to wind properly. The titanium with bracelet is 66 grams so perhaps the steel will be 100-110. Will need to try it but your input was spot on. Thank you.
One thing to note...
The current steel versions have screw down crowns. The titanium version does not have a screw down crown. So if the watch stops, you simply wind it a bit and set the time. No need to actively unscrew the crown and re-screw the crown. But with the new steel versions, it'd be slightly more annoying to do the whole crown thing.
If they can get it to wind better, I'd prefer the screw-down crown.
The waterproofness of the screw down crown is attractive to me. But the micro rotor has just got to wind more efficiently first.
A really cool iteration Christian.
I like it a lot and remember when it was launched as I was very much in the market for an Octo in Titanium. I think that little design change of seeing the plate beneath the dial add a very nice visual twist. I find the base Octo in Titanium can be a little too flat and this little change makes all the difference in your watch.
Iām all behind the Titanium references, and definitely on the bracelet. I think it comes in around 62g, which is a few grams lighter than my Journe Centigraphe Sport also on a Titanium bracelet (and case) but with an aluminum movement. The thinness I guess is what makes the difference.
