BRONZE &
BLACK BEAUTIES
With its name emblazoned twice on its broad
bezel –not on the dial – the Bvlgari Bvlgari
watch was a sensation when Bulgari debuted
it in 1975. Just two years later Bulgari created
its first complete watch collection, and since
that time the jewelry and watch company has
developed numerous variations of that debut
model for men and women. Bulgari in the fall
also expanded its Bvlgari Bvlgari collection by
adding a trio of masculine 41mm models and
two jeweled models in 33mm and 23mm sizes.
Two of the larger Bvlgari Bvlgari watches
utilize bronze: one for its case/bezel and one
with only a bronze bezel, which tops a black
DLC steel case. The third men’s model is cased
in an all black DLC-coated steel case and bezel,
which is offset by bronze numerals. Each watch
is housed in the classic Bvlgari Bvlgari case,
powered by the self-winding Bulgari Caliber
191, a manufacture movement with ceramic
ball bearings.
Each new Bvlgari Bvlgari men’s watch
arrives with a tool-free interchangeable strap
system that allows the owner to quickly change
between embossed rubber, alligator leather or
leather strap options. Delivered with a second
strap, the watch also comes with a travel
pouch. Prices start at $4,000 (all black DLC
model) and range to $5,600 (bronze case
and bezel).
The smaller, feminine versions of the Bvlgari
Bvlgari are available in a 23mm-diameter mini-
sized model and a 33mm diameter version.
These slim-cased watches feature quartz
calibers and are fitted with a jeweled crown
and a metal bracelet that echoes the style of
earlier Bvlgari Bvlgari collections.
The dials on these smaller models are
available with either applied or diamond hour-
markers, with or without a date window, and
in a choice of anthracite, black, brown or
mother-of-pearl. The dials are framed by
stainless steel, two-tone pink gold or stainless
steel. Prices for the ladies’ models range from
$3,600 to $9,950.
