The Third Iteration of Bulgari's Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days Combines Stealth with Luxury

Bulgari, an icon in the world of horology, has given its Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days watch a material makeover – a subtlety that has earned it a place in Watches & Wonders, Geneva’s prestigious watch trade show. This model, while functionally identical to its predecessors, now proudly boasts a new black DLC titanium casing. Resilient and elegant, this third iteration of the Octo series establishes itself firmly somewhere between its two preceding versions.

The muscle memory of previous Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days variants resonates in the stealthy look of this newer version. The titanium body encased in durable, black DLC-coated type 5 material gives it a slightly covert touch. Despite this, familiar features, such as the golden crown, hands, indices, and power reserve, hark back to the original version’s elegance.

While it flirts with the practicality of tool watches, its absence of luminous material on the hands and hour markers confirms that this is a watch built for sophistication. Synonymous with earlier variants, the clock’s two main pulls are its extraordinary thinness and its longevity of power reserve. In maintaining Bulgari’s mastery of blending sumptuous design with functional charm, the Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days continues to leave an indelible imprint in the realm of luxury timepieces.
