Bulgari’s latest addition to the popular Octo collection is arriving in stores this month. Perfect for daytime or evening at 41.5 mm, this octagonal watch has an air of casual elegance bestowed by the juxtaposition of the steel case and 18-karat pink gold detailing. The transparent case back reveals the 28-jewel, double barrel automatic BVL 193 movement inside, with hours, minutes and center seconds and 50 hours of power reserve. The off-white lacquered dial is warmed by the glow of the hand-applied pink gold-plated Arabic numerals at 6 and 12, gold-plated indexes and a date window at 3 o’clock. The scratch resistant crystal has double-sided anti-reflection treatment. Further details include the 18-karat pink gold crown with black ceramic inset and a buttery alligator leather strap in a rich brown hue with a stainless steel folding buckle. This newly released timepiece, which is water resistant to 100 meters, is priced at $9,150.
