Christianch introduces his Bulgari Octo Finissimo "Revolution" limited edition, a watch that challenges initial community skepticism with its in-person appeal. His post highlights the watch's ultra-light titanium construction and shared design elements with the world's slimmest minute repeater. This article explores why this particular Octo Finissimo resonated so strongly with its owner and the WatchProSite community.

Dear Friends,

I am happy to share my latest incoming: the Bulgari Octo Finissimo "Revolution" limited edition watch!

I saw from a previous post that the enthusiasm for this model is not the highest but in person the watch its just stunning and ultra light!

The watch has the same skeletonised dial and case of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater (the slimmest minute repeater in the world) that is in the ultra light and robust grade 5 titanium

The movement is the manufacture BLV 128 that at 36.60 mm fits perfectly in the 40 mm case. 65 hours power reserve with the revolution logo in the power reserve indicator (very discrete).

This is a limited edition of 50 pieces but all marked 1 of 50 so everyone is equal

The watch is very comfortable and it wears bigger than a 40mm but -- also thanks to the 5.15 mm thickness that makes it really finisssimo!

WOW !

I am very impressed by the quality of this piece and the in-house capability of bulgari (case, dial and movement produced in-house). I found the watch perfect for everyday and a well

executed collaboration with revolution that made this possible.

Very pleased and happy about this ultra thin masterpiece!

Christian

Key Points from the Discussion

The Octo Finissimo's ultra-thin profile surpasses many famous sporty watches, though a direct comparison with the Octo Date 38mm would highlight its unique design choices, such as the absence of a date complication.
The strap's modern, stitch-less design is aesthetically pleasing but raises concerns about long-term durability, as such straps can degrade due to wrist warmth and glue failure.
The watch's lightness and thinness are truly remarkable, and despite a preference for larger watches, the case width of the Octo Finissimo still makes it a compelling piece.
The Octo Finissimo is significantly thinner than a Nautilus and offers a different design concept, with a power reserve indicator that helps manage winding habits.
Divisive watches like the Bulgari Octo Finissimo are often the most interesting, as they offer unique designs that challenge established norms.
The quality and in-house capabilities of Bulgari, encompassing case, dial, and movement production, are highly impressive, making the watch suitable for everyday wear.

From my point of view, divisive watches such as your new Bulgari are probably the most interesting ones because they offer something different (you can love or not) and they shake established order up. Enjoy and wear it in good health Best wishes Alkiro

I had a chance to put Wei's on last week at SIHH and was amazed at how light and thin it was. It is truly an amazing watch and even though personally I am a fan of bigger watches... this still ticks the box due to the case width. The finishing looked really great too. A great purchase and looks good on your wrist. Cheers Andrew

Not with me at all! I am a big fan of this concept. Great work by Bvlgari and great modifications for this edition. Sincere congrats to this addition, which appears to me as one of the best ones in your tremendous collection as far as I can judge. Enjoy the slimness in titanium case. Grüsse Kolosstt

Great iconic case design, sober layout on the dial, clean, elegant, and an overall nice design! Congrats! The strap looks very modern without stitching, but in my experience straps without stitching end up having a lot of problems as they wear. The warmth of the wrist eventually unseats the glue and leather starts coming off. Keep us informed of the strap's quality would you? Nice watch!
