Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT

The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT returns in a special 140th Anniversary edition, merging architectural design with technical mastery. This new version stands out with a dial featuring Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani’s hand-drawn sketch of the ultra-thin BVL 318 movement, offering a rare look into the artistic process behind Bvlgari’s award-winning watchmaking vision. Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT sketch movement The 43 mm stainless steel case keeps the iconic Octo geometry—sharp angles, sculpted facets, and contrasting brushed surfaces. Despite its dual-time and chronograph complications, the watch maintains a thickness of only 8.75 mm. A screw-down crown with ceramic insert ensures 100 m of water resistance. Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT stainless steel case The white sand-blasted dial displays: a GMT disc at 3 o’clock, a 30-minute chronograph counter at 6 o’clock, and small seconds at 9 o’clock. The printed movement sketch shows the balance at 5, wheel train at 11, ruby bearings, and Geneva stripes—creating a layered connection between engineering and design artistry. BVL 318 movement sketch on the dial On the reverse side, the real BVL 318 automatic movement is revealed. Only 3.3 mm thick, it runs at 28,800 vph and delivers a 55-hour power reserve. The sapphire caseback features “1884–2024” to mark Bvlgari’s anniversary, alongside the individual limited-edition number of each watch. Limited to 140 pieces worldwide, the watch comes on a stainless steel bracelet with integrated design. The official retail price is €20,800.
