BASELWORLD 2017: The New Octo Roma – Absolute Purity

The Octo collection is reinterpreted in an approach taking the formal purity of the octagon to unprecedented extremes. The new Octo Roma adds a further dimension to this quest.

Renowned for their structured case comprising 110 facets, Octo watches introduced a powerful and innovative design, now extended by the Octo Roma introducing an elegant, modern and urban version bordering on absolute purity, while respecting the formal fundamentals of the model.

Bulgari was careful to highlight the perfectly balanced proportions serving to express the decisive elements of the shape. Octo Roma focuses on essentials with undeniable style: an ideal 41 mm diameter that is highly contemporary in terms of its presence on the wrist, as well as extremely easy to wear because of its measured aesthetic. The iconic case has been subtly reworked to ensure even greater comfort and ease, while retaining its inherent strength. Even the strap has been endowed with a convenient new feature that will be particularly appreciated by those who wear the watch, with a comfortable and seamless 23.5mm width ensuring a supremely smooth feel.

Octo Roma comes in five versions with three dial variations – white, black or brown – and several steel, gold and steel or gold case finishes. While the seamless leather straps are extremely pleasant for daily wear, the dedicated steel bracelet with resolutely comfortable specific links is also available.
