Bvlgari travels the world in a flash with the Octo Roma WorldTimer. Polymorphic depending on the angle and the light, this new model introduced at Geneva Watch Days is arriving on all continents as a citizen of the watchmaking world, adapting to all cultures. Enabling instant reading of all 24 time zones represented by as many cities (with occasional nods such as St. Barts for the Caribbean), it conveys a universal culture of fine luxury watchmaking, infused with the Dolce Vita spirit. Its double rotating disk on the outside of the dial is easily operated via the crown and makes child’s play of adjusting time zones to the chosen reference time. Less extreme than the Octo Finissimo, which in ten years has become the most successful watch in watchmaking history, the more widely accessible Octo Roma line continues to grow in popularity. Bvlgari’s status as an exceptional watch Manufacture is now indisputable, as is its contemporary design, endowing the Octo Roma WorldTimer with assets that are all the more striking in that they are accompanied by a quality/ price ratio that is rare at this level of expertise.
