Bulgari has introduced new watch models. The lineup of four new models includes two stunning versions of the Octo Finissimo, the sleek and bold Octo Roma, and the eye-catching Serpenti collection, designed in collaboration with renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando.

Although Ando has lent his artistic vision to Bulgari watches before, this is the first collaboration between the two parties centered on the Serpenti. An Ode to the Four Seasons—consists of four limited edition models, each representing a different season and the mood it evokes. The case width is 35 mm. Each watch is individually presented with a unique jeweled dial surrounded by a dazzling bezel set with 38 diamonds.

Octo Finissimo Ultra

Redefining the benchmark in mechanical watchmaking, the latest Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra is a stunning 1.7mm thin. The new model, a significant improvement over previous iterations, was brought to life thanks to the joint efforts of Concepto experts and the Maison's own R&D department.

The case back serves as the main plate for the in-house caliber BVL180, which, despite its elegant appearance, provides a power reserve of up to 50 hours. The new Octo Finissimo Ultra is limited to 20 pieces and comes in an exceptional case that allows you to wind the watch using the built-in digital display. The watch is available in titanium for $529,000, and in platinum for a retail price of $546,000.

Octo Finissimo Tourbillon

This time, Bulgari has prepared three Octo Finissimo Tourbillon models in unprecedented configurations, including cases in platinum, titanium, and rose gold. The $196,000 platinum variant comes in a 42mm case with a satin finish. It comes with a blue alligator leather strap, and the hour and minute hands are finished in matte black for a striking color contrast.

The titanium model with black DLC coating has a brushed open dial and costs $127,000. The rose gold version is also available in a 40mm case and features an openwork sandblasted gray dial and rose gold plated hands. Retail price is $154,000. Both versions are powered by the hand-wound BVL 268SK movement, an ultra-thin skeletonized movement featuring a flying tourbillon.

Octo Roma Steel

Two new versions of the Octo Roma were also introduced. Both models, made of DLC-treated steel, are painted black, combining light and depth with the textured lacquered Clous de Paris dials. The 41mm automatic three-hand variant will cost $8,050.

The Octo Roma Chronograph, which is slightly larger in size with a case diameter of 42 mm, boasts a price tag of $9,900.
