Bulgari tapped into something special when the released its Octo Finissimo Automatique in 2017. The ultra-thin watch broke records for the world\u2019s thinnest automatic watch (Piaget broke it in 2018), and the design was and is avant garde. They\u2019ve followed up on the watch with other, very thin, variations, and this year they are claiming a new record for the world\u2019s thinnest automatic chronograph. It\u2019s all packed in the same svelte design we\u2019ve come to know and love (or hate).<\/p>\n

Chronograph watches aren\u2019t known for their wearability, and when one comes along that\u2019s considered comfortable enough to daily, it\u2019s hailed as an accomplishment (this is one reason the Daytona is so popular). Conversely, there\u2019s nothing more disheartening than finding a chronograph you love, that becomes nearly unwearable due to its case profile (hrmmm<\/a>). Handwound options like the Speedmaster<\/a> usually fare better in this regard, but none better than a truly bespoke in-house option. But these are hard and expensive to develop and manufacture, hence the conundrum we find ourselves in. Consider all of this context for what Bulgari has achieved with their new Octo Finissimo Chronograph. Oh, did we mention there\u2019s a GMT complication in there as well?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the only number you number you need to know about this watch: 6.9mm. That\u2019s how thick this watch is (not the movement, the entire watch). The most common automatic chronograph movement out there, the Valjoux 7750, is 7.9mm thick, and that\u2019s just the movement. The incredible movement found within this Finissimo Chronograph is a scant 3.3mm thick.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve achieved this by mounting the oscillating weight (the part that makes it an automatic) around the periphery of the movement. This allows everything to be mounted flush to the base plate, which you can plainly see through the exhibition caseback. The nicely finished movement is made all the more impressive considering there\u2019s a GMT complication present as well, which takes the 3 o\u2019clock sub dial.<\/p>\n

The case and dial design sticks to the Octo Finissimo script, meaning it\u2019s angular to the tune of 8 sides (Octo) around the dial. The design can be seen as polarizing, but there’s no understating the achievement here. The case and dial are both sandblasted titanium and serve as a dramatic backdrop to the black hands and dial printing. It\u2019s hard to overstate just how impressive a watch this is from Bulgari, especially considering the price is well under $20,000, at $17,500.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
