Have you ever wondered what the world’s thinnest automatic movement would look like? BVLGARI’s Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar watch has successfully won this title with its thickness of only 2.75 mm. In addition to the stunning movement design, the combination of luxury and low-key of this watch is irresistible. Come and unveil its mystery together!

BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar Watch

In 2021, BVLGARI officially launched a new member of its most classic Octo series-Octo Finissimo perpetual calendar watch. The most eye-catching thing about this watch is that the movement it carries is only 2.75 mm thick. This number is even thicker than an ordinary steel needle. It is currently the thinnest automatic movement in the world, which is really incredible.

The BVL 305 automatic movement equipped on the watch is assembled from 408 parts and contains 35 jewels. Although the movement is very thin, it can still provide a power reserve of 60 hours, which is a very good result among mechanical watches.

The case of this watch is made of 18K rose gold. The color is warm and unobtrusive, which is very in line with modern people’s aesthetics of luxury. The watch is equipped with an integrated sandblasted 18K rose gold bracelet, which not only enhances the overall beauty, but also greatly improves the practicality. The price of the watch is 98,000 euros, equivalent to about 824,000 yuan. Although it is expensive, it seems to be worth the money for this world’s number one watch.

Rose gold and modernity

The front of the watch is made of matte rose gold, which is completely different from the shiny gold material used by most luxury watches on the market. Although shiny gold is luxurious, it can easily give people a sense of low-end, while matte gold can better reflect the wearer’s taste and connotation.

Judging from the layout of the dial, this watch also pays tribute to the brand Gerald Genta acquired by BVLGARI in 2000, adopting a classic and simple design style. In addition to the hour and minute hands, there are also functions such as retrograde date display, leap year display, month display, and week display. This configuration is considered a basic configuration in a perpetual calendar watch.

In terms of movement, the design and production process of BVL 305 once again proves BVLGARI’s high level in the field of watchmaking, especially in terms of the thickness of the movement and the number of parts, it shows an enviable advantage.

The new watch is even better

With the release of the Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar Watch, BVLGARI has launched a new Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar Rose Gold Watch. This new watch also uses the BVL 305 movement, but due to some more complex functions on the movement, the thickness has increased slightly, reaching 5.8 mm. However, compared to other mechanical watches on the market, this thickness is still very good.

The case of the new watch is made of 18K rose gold and has been treated with high-end sandblasting technology, giving the overall look a low-key and luxurious atmosphere. The diameter of the watch is 40 mm, which is very suitable for most men. The most noteworthy thing is that this watch has a 30-meter waterproof performance, so you basically don’t need to worry about water intrusion in daily life.

This watch also has 110 facets, which can reflect brilliant light under the sun. Overall, the newly launched Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar Rose Gold Watch has made significant progress over the old model in all aspects, and more perfectly interprets BVLGARI’s brand concept of “luxury and modernity”.

Conclusion

BVLGARI’s Octo Finissimo perpetual calendar watch not only achieves a breakthrough in technology, but also shows the perfect combination of luxury and modernity in design. Although the price is not cheap, in my opinion, it is definitely a luxury product worth investing in. What do you think?
