Clearly in a good position to state that “the Octo case is an extension of the Italian temperament”, Guido Terreni, CEO of Bvlgari Watches, also adds that black reinforces both the sheer strength of this cult model and its urban elegance. The choice of exterior is matched by a selection of ‘engines’ powering this beautiful mechanical model. Available in three-hand or chronograph versions, or indeed equipped with the world’s thinnest tourbillon, the Octo Ultranero range interprets the 110 facets of its case in DLC-coated stainless steel or titanium with a blend of assurance and generosity, particularly when the bezel appears clothed in pink gold. Its powerful personality also contrasts with its slimness that makes it particularly pleasant to wear. The undeniable assets of the Octo Ultranero did not however suffice to eclipse the flagship Bvlgari model introduced on the first day of Baselworld and presented on worldtempus.com.
