Summary of Bvlgari's new watches for 2021

Octo Roman Worldtimer

　A world timer watch has been added to Bvlgari's Octo Roma. The lineup includes two models: one with a stainless steel case that alternates between satin and polished finishes, and another with a sandblasted stainless steel case and DLC coating. The outer edge of the dial features a disc with the name of a city and a disc with the numbers 1 through 24. Setting the world timer is easy: simply set the desired city at the 12 o'clock position, adjust the hour and minute hands to the local time, and then align the 24-hour disc at 12 o'clock with the time displayed on the hour and minute hands.

Octo Roma Central Tourbillon Papillon

　Bulgari has announced the Octo Roma Central Tourbillon Papillon, a complicated watch equipped with a unique display mechanism called "Papillon." The Papillon mechanism was installed in the Daniel Roth watch after the company merged with Bulgari, and as its name, which means butterfly in French, evokes the movement of a flapping butterfly. The minute hand is served by two hexagons set in a central ring. Normally, one of them is vertical, indicating the minute scale, while the other is horizontal and stored in the ring. When the minute display reaches 55, the horizontal minute hand gradually becomes vertical, reaching "00" and beginning to measure the next hour. The small window at 12 o'clock indicates the jumping hour. The tourbillon is located in the center.

Bvlgari Aluminium GMT

This GMT watch has been added to the Bvlgari Aluminium collection. While retaining the design codes of the Bvlgari Aluminium collection, it is a highly practical piece. The second time zone is indicated by a red 24-hour sub-hour hand, and the ring around the dial is red and blue to distinguish day and night at a glance. Aluminum, which is used for the case, has traditionally had the disadvantage of being prone to corrosion, but the company has successfully overcome this. The bezel and strap are made of rubber, giving the watch a sporty impression. The crown and case back are made of titanium.

Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar Tantalum

　Bvlgari's 2021 Only Watch marks its first participation. The company presented the Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar Tantalum. This model features a tantalum exterior, a version of the Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar, which was announced as the world's thinnest automatic perpetual calendar watch. This rare metal boasts excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and twice the strength of titanium. The dial is deep blue to match the unique color of tantalum. The November month display reads "NOW" (OW stands for Only Watch), with the "OW" colored in the brand's distinctive orange.

Lucea Intarcio

　Bvlgari has added the "Lucea Intarcio," which incorporates the traditional Italian marquetry technique "Intarsia," to its "Lucea" collection, which is themed around light. The dial is made of a combination of gray mother-of-pearl, which creates a radial design centered on the dial. Diamonds are set in the lugs and indexes, and a synthetic rubellite cabochon on the crown top adds an accent. The watch is presented on a gray alligator strap that matches the dial color.

Lucea Skeleton Winter Japan Limited Edition

　Bulgari's Lucea has released the Lucea Skeleton Winter Japan Limited Edition. The skeleton dial features the company's logo adorned with diamonds and snowflakes. Diamonds are also set in the lugs, and together with the synthetic rubellite on the crown, they add a touch of glamour to the case. The alligator strap is the same deep blue as the hour and minute hands. The see-through back allows you to see the automatic movement, Cal. BVL191, and enjoy its movement. This model is limited to 150 pieces.
