But first , below we introduce the new Bulgari Octo Finissimo watches .
OCTO FINISSIMO S One of last year ’ s highlight debuts , the Bulgari Octo Finissimo S , introduced collectors to the brand ’ s first all-steel entry within the Octo Finissimo ’ s ultra-thin automatic range .
Until that launch , Bulgari had limited the Octo Finissimo collection of record-setting ultra-thin watches to designs with ceramic , precious metal or titanium cases and bracelets .
The premiere Octo Finissimo S with its all-steel case and bracelet , water resistance of 100 meters and case measuring 6.4mm thin , drew positive notices almost immediately , in part due to its entry level ( for Octo Finissimo ) $ 12,000 price point and broader appeal .
A year later , Bulgari adds an encore to the steel collection with a new monochrome Octo Finissimo S featuring a 40mm steel satinpolished case and a new silver vertical-brushed monochromatic dial . The watch , now the third in the steel collection ( following the bluedialed debut in mid-2020 ) retains the collection ’ s contemporary design , especially with its radially brushed bezel .
The new watch is powered by automatic in-house ultra-thin caliber BVL 138 with micro-rotor . Echoing the entire steel collection , the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters , ensured by a polished steel screw-down crown set with ceramic .
