About the Octo family
Octo, launched in 2012, gave Bulgari a strong men's collection with a complex octagonal case of many facets, drawing on designs from the Gérald Genta archive the brand acquired. The broad family now includes the Octo Finissimo and Octo Roma, which have their own entries here.
The references under this name include automatic models with the BVL 191 and BVL 193 calibers and the Velocissimo chronograph with the high-frequency BVL 328, in steel, black-coated steel, pink gold and two-tone combinations. The many facets mean that wear shows quickly, so look at the edges and polished surfaces closely.
