boutique Black Weave BUlgari The straps on any of the three new Bvlgari Bvlgari Carbon Gold watches echo the original hemp and leather version on the original Bvlgari Roma watch in 1975. But the retro-cool strap is just one reason to consider this latest edition of a Bulgari favorite. The matte-black carbon resin coating on the 40mm case now features a gold “1884” plate to honor the year Bulgari was founded. Dials are black, brown or blue and the pink gold hour-markers are each tipped by a Superluminova dot. Inside is an ETA automatic movement. The strap, by the way, is entirely in woven leather and is fitted with a pin buckle made of PEEK, an ultra-sturdy and light alloy notably used in the field of aeronautics. Price: $2,800. 26 Wristwatch | 2016
