OCTO FINISSIMO S CHRONOGRAPH GMT With the success of the time-only steel Octo Finissimo S line , Bulgari in 2021 adds a chronograph GMT model in steel . Creating a steel model means Bulgari can offer its record-breaking ultrathin chronograph in a more conventional steel case ( and bracelet ), which both reduces the price while also attracting consumers , who prefer steel watches . The chronograph GMT offerings within the Octo Finissimo collection had , until now , been limited to titaniumcased models .
Called Octo Finissimo S Chronograph GMT , it features the existing Bulgari automatic in-house chronograph and GMT ultra-thin calibre BVL 318 with peripheral rotor .
Now offered with a satin-polished steel case and new blue dial , the watch also features silver ( rather than black ) counters , which Bulgari considers a “ sport chic look .”
On the dial you ’ ll find chronograph counters plus a GMT ( second time zone ) indicator . The watch ’ s 43mm diameter steel case measures 8.75mm thick , which is nicely integrated into the vertically brushed steel bracelet , accented with polished parts . And like the time-only steel model , the Octo Finissimo S Chronograph features a larger screw-down crown than the former sandblasted models . This ensures water resistance to 100 meters .
OCTO FINISSIMO CHRONOGRAPH GMT TITANIUM As the third new watch in the Octo Finissimo collection this year , this 42mm titanium model essentially echoes the 2019 titanium-cased edition that captured the 2019 GPHG award for best chronograph watch . This year , Bulgari adds a new , sportier black dial and an appropriate sporty rubber strap to what remains the thinnest automatic chronograph watch available .
