BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Blue Dial – Overview
The BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Blue Dial was introduced in 2020 as the first ultra-thin Octo Finissimo model to pair a stainless-steel case with a rich blue lacquered dial. With a slim profile of just 6.4 mm, it combines architectural lines with refined minimalism.
40 mm Stainless-Steel Case
The stainless-steel case measures 40 mm in diameter and retains the Octo Finissimo’s sharp geometric identity. Despite its angular architecture, it offers 100-meter water resistance. The screw-down crown is fitted with black ceramic, and the case features an elaborate mix of circular brushing, radial brushing, vertical brushing, frosted finishing, and satin polishing that creates deep visual contrast. 
Minimalist Deep-Blue Dial
The dial of the BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Blue Dial features a clean layout with an off-center small-seconds sub-dial between 7 and 8 o’clock. A sunburst finish adds dynamic reflections, harmonizing with the case’s multiple brushed textures. 
BVL 138 Ultra-Thin Movement
Powering the watch is the in-house BVL 138 automatic movement, measuring only 2.23 mm thick. It runs at 21,600 vph and delivers a 60-hour power reserve, using a platinum micro-rotor visible through the sapphire case back.
