Today we are going to talk about the Bulgari Octo series of watches. With its unique design and innovative materials, it perfectly meets the pursuit of personality and quality among watch fans. Especially the newly launched Octo Finissimo 8-Day Power Skeleton Watch, with its ultra-thin body and amazing power reserve capacity, has really subverted our traditional understanding of watches! Want to know how powerful it is? Read on!

Bvlgari Octo series watches

As a timekeeping tool, the earliest history of the wristwatch can be traced back to ancient Greece in the fifth century BC, when people began to use sundials to tell time. In modern times, pocket watches have gradually become a common timekeeping tool in people’s lives. After entering the 20th century, wristwatches really began to become popular and became an indispensable item in people’s lives.

With the development of the economy, people’s living standards continue to improve, and the functions of watches are gradually extended outwards. In addition to simple timing functions, more and more watch fans hope that watches can be innovative in design to better match their own dressing style.

The Octo series of watches launched by luxury brand Bulgari continue to innovate in design and perfectly interpret the aspirations of watch fans. The case of the watch is composed of eleven planes, with sharp edges and corners, and is very individual. It is also an iconic design in the watch industry.

In terms of materials, the Octo series watches have also made great attempts. In addition to traditional stainless steel and gold, DLC-coated titanium is also used for the first time. This material is not only high in hardness, but also light in weight, making it very suitable for making watches.

The most amazing thing is that the Octo series of watches has also made unprecedented attempts in movement. The movements of most mechanical watches on the market are self-winding, but Bulgari’s watches use manual winding, which is almost unheard of in ultra-thin watches.

Because the movement is thin enough, the power reserve capacity of the watch is not high, generally only about 3 days. But this is already a very good result for an ultra-thin watch.

Octo Finissimo 8-Day Power Skeleton Watch

In 2025, Bulgari launched the new Octo Finissimo 8-day power hollow ultra-thin matte black DLC titanium and rose gold watch model 104121. This watch combines the advantages of the previous two products in design and can be said to be an upgraded version of the first two products.

The diameter of the new watch is 40 mm and the thickness is only 5.95 mm. Such size and thickness are almost unprecedented records in ultra-thin watches, which to a certain extent breaks our understanding of ultra-thin watches.

The most surprising thing is that the dynamic storage capacity of this watch reaches 8 days and 192 hours. This is almost an impossible task among mechanical watches. Even some quartz watches have difficulty achieving this number. It can be said to be very amazing.

In appearance, the new watch uses matte black DLC-coated titanium, which is not only not easy to scratch, but also presents a deep sense of mystery. In terms of visual effects, it looks much more advanced, which is very in line with the current aesthetic trend of young people.

The movement is still the BVL 199 SK manual winding movement independently developed and manufactured by Bulgari. It has a vibration frequency of 21,600 times per hour and a thickness of only 2.5 mm. Such a movement is also very rare in ultra-thin watches. Although it has no luminous light and is not waterproof, as a formal, high-complexity and ultra-thin watch, these shortcomings are almost negligible.

In August 2022, Bulgari officially launched the Octo Finissimo 8-day power hollow ultra-thin 18K rose gold watch. This watch also inherits the consistent style of the Octo series and makes new attempts in materials instead of blindly using titanium.

The same is true for the Octo Finissimo 8-day power hollow ultra-thin titanium alloy watch launched in 2023. Although it is only 30 meters waterproof and has no luminous light, as a formal high-complexity ultra-thin watch, these shortcomings are really nothing.

Conclusion

In short, Bulgari’s Octo series of watches undoubtedly find the perfect balance between luxury and practicality, especially the astonishing 8-day power reserve, which is simply amazing! Although it is slightly less waterproof and luminous, this does not prevent it from becoming the leader among high-complexity ultra-thin watches. What do you think of this watch? Are you excited?
