The Octo Finissimo line took advantage of Bulgari’s then-recent move into vertically integrated watch manufacturing to craft a collection that began winning industry awards for thinness at a record pace, culminating in the world’s thinnest mechanical watch, the Octo Finissimo Ultra, in 2022. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular OF, a stealthy black ceramic variant, features a 43mm sandblasted ceramic case with a sapphire crystal, a matching black ceramic bezel, and a black ceramic crown with a black inlay. Inside, it has a matte black dial with printed black indices and subsidiary registers, a matching 'skeletonized-obelisk' handset, and Bulgari's impressive Calibre BVL 318 automatic winding movement with a peripheral rotor and both chronograph and GMT functions. It comes paired to a matching integrated ceramic bracelet with a signed hidden deployant clasp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMeasuring just 6.9mm thick with a 3.3mm-thick movement, the sibling of this piece, the Octo Finissimo S, was for a time the thinnest automatic watch in the world. And while that record has since been broken by Piaget’s Altiplano Ultimate Automatic, we must say — anything from the Octo Finissimo line, may still be the thinnest practical watch in the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSurely, if you’re the type of person who appreciates a forward-thinking brand — who’s tired of the same old designs being resurfaced ad infinitum — then there are few horological developments more exciting than the Octo Finissimo line. But don’t take our word for it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTry this baby on today!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bvlgari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40288807190615,"sku":"40991551","price":13850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS08885_40991551_BULGARI_OCTOFINISSIMOCHRONOGFRAPHGMT_BGO43CXTCHGMT-6.jpg?v=1698432770","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/bvlgari-octo-finissimo-ceramic-chronograph-gmt-as08885","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
