Bulgari's Octo Finissimo, Carbon Case
Bulgari's Octo Finissimo collection is expanding with the introduction of the "CarbonGold" Automatic and Perpetual Calendar models, featuring carbon cases paired with rose gold accents. This marks a departure from traditional materials in the Octo Finissimo line and showcases Bulgari's penchant for innovation.
Both watches boast anthracite-colored carbon cases and bracelets with a matte finish, while the rose gold crown, featuring a black ceramic insert, adds a touch of luxury. The carbon dials are adorned with rose gold hands and indices, maintaining a harmonious aesthetic. These ultra-thin timepieces have a 40mm diameter, staying true to the Finissimo's slim profile.
The CarbonGold Perpetual Calendar houses Bulgari's caliber BVL 305, the world's thinnest perpetual calendar at just 2.75mm thick, introduced in 2021. It displays a retrograde date on the top and a retrograde leap year indicator at the bottom. On the other hand, the CarbonGold Automatic is powered by the micro-rotor caliber BVL 138, featuring an offset sub-seconds dial at 7 o'clock.
The highlight of these watches is the polished rose gold crown, contrasting with the gold-colored dial elements. The combination of anthracite carbon and rose gold accents enhances the watch's aesthetics.
