This timepiece marks the first chronograph complication within the Octo Roma collection. Its distinctiveness lies in the seamless integration of the chronograph pushers into the octagonal case profile, creating a harmonious and unified design. The dial introduces the classic Clous de Paris guilloché decoration for the first time, offering rich visual depth that contrasts beautifully with the finely polished case. The 42mm stainless steel case and bezel feature alternating brushed and mirror-polished finishes. The chronograph pushers are perfectly integrated with the lugs, resulting in a cohesive and refined geometric silhouette. The watch offers 100 meters of water resistance for daily wear.

The blue dial is adorned with the Clous de Paris guilloché pattern. This engraving technique consists of vertically intersecting lines that create countless tiny pyramidal structures on the dial, with their faceted surfaces reflecting light to produce captivating visual effects. The dial layout includes:

  • A small seconds sub-dial at 3 o’clock.

  • A 12-hour chronograph counter at 6 o’clock.

  • A 30-minute chronograph counter at 9 o’clock.

  • The date window is positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock.

Powered by the new BVL 399 self-winding movement, it operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 42-hour power reserve. The sapphire crystal case back reveals the oscillating weight and bridges decorated with Côtes de Genève (Geneva stripes).

Paired with a stainless steel bracelet, this timepiece is officially priced at €9,900.
