The folks at Bulgari have done it again. What we’ve got here is another record-setting watch in the Octo Finissimo line, this time an automatic chronograph with a GMT function that can proudly claim the title of being the world’s thinnest mechanical chronograph.
The folks at Bulgari have done it again. What we’ve got here is another record-setting watch in the Octo Finissimo line, this time an automatic chronograph with a GMT function that can proudly claim the title of being the world’s thinnest mechanical chronograph. Seeing “6.9mm thick” on the spec sheet is one thing, but we’re actually having a hard time envisioning what that’s going to feel like on the wrist as a chronograph – it’s so much thinner than what we usually see these days, even setting aside the prolific use of modular chronograph movements. As with many previous Octo Finissimo watches, the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic has an angular case made of sandblasted titanium with a titanium dial and a titanium bracelet to match. It comes in at 42mm edge-to-edge and the dial’s oversized registers use minimal typography and markings to keep it from looking cluttered. The entire package appears sleek and streamlined.
