Bulgari New Watch Release

Key Points from the Discussion

• The 40mm titanium Octo Finissimo is a highly comfortable and frequently worn watch, with its unique blind-closure bracelet being a standout feature.
• While the titanium Octo Finissimo is generally praised for comfort, some collectors find it less comfortable during initial wear, suggesting a longer trial is needed for a definitive assessment.
• Bulgari has successfully made titanium feel premium on the wrist, a quality often lacking in other titanium watches.
• There's concern that Bulgari might be releasing too many Octo Finissimo iterations, potentially diluting the brand's exclusivity, similar to the perceived saturation of Grand Seiko and Omega Speedmaster special editions.
• The integration of the rubber strap with the case is a design highlight, prompting some owners of bracelet versions to consider adding the rubber strap.
• While not intended for diving, a higher water resistance (e.g., 100m WR) on the Octo Finissimo Chronograph would make it a compelling alternative to sports chronographs like the Rolex Daytona, especially with a tachymeter scale and lume.
