Did some research on previous posts.

Straps from different Octo models are not directly interchangeable. The Finissimo models (including steel and titanium references) have specific notched ends at the lugs, while straps like the Solotempo rubber options are straight-ended — so they won’t fi

Are 30MM Octo straps interchangeable?

Are aftermarket strap for the Octo Solotempo 101964 / Octo Finissimo SS 103297 / Octo Finissimo Titanium 102713 interchangeable? Wondered this for a long while... Aftermarket solotempo straps... Will this actually fit the SS models?

Why not the octo solotempo???

Since I’m here on WPS I’ve never seen anyone have the octo solotempo (or l’oiginal) which looks like the OF but it’s thicker, and discontinued. For me personally I didn’t like such a thin watch, and choose to go with the solotempo in titanium which I love

Possibly. So far you're mostly right.

Maybe the Octo Solotempo and Finissimo design just relates better with thin watches. Who knows. I bet they have all the prototypes at their factory of thick watches in the Solotempo/Finissimo shape. And it probably just looked too bulky.

Probably true

I feel like Bulgari is using the classic Octo design for the ultra thin watches ( + the simple Solotempo) and the Roma Octo for the complicated and not necessarily thin watches like the world timer / minute repeaters ( + the base Roma). Perhaps in a way t

Indeed ...

Hi Richard Well said, '...being thin doesn't look overly dressy'. The Octo Finissimo has certain ruggedness in the case design, it goes well with both formal and casual setting. Would prefer the strap to taper slimmer. Solotempo and Finissimo, more wearab

Pretty impressive

I like the looks of all three models, and while being thin doesn't look overly dressy. The Solotempo appeals the most to me as the gold and white dial feels warmer. I also like the use of bridges for the balance in the movements. Thanks for sharing this.

BVLGARI 2014 Octo

The Octo, one of the mainstay of Bulgari watch-lines, has a surprise for many, entering into the arena of the ultra-thin. The Octo is an octagonal watch based on certain geometry with a round bezel and many facets to have interesting light-play when the w
