Bulgari - Octo Retro Maserati

Partners since 2012, Bulgari and Maserati collaborated once again to create two exclusive wristwatches – the Octo Retro Maserati GranSport and GranLusso – that were presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

They feature retrograde minutes and jumping hours displays, expressed through an aesthetic evoking the style codes of Maserati cars’ dashboard and counters.

The structured case, typical of Bulgari’s Octo collection, has a diameter of 41 mm and houses the mechanical Retro BVL 262 calibre, entirely developed and produced in-house. This self-winding movement – decorated in the finest tradition using Côtes de Genève, chamfering and bevelling techniques – has a 42-hour power reserve and oscillates at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The GranSport version comes in steel with a black DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) surface treatment. The dial is black, while the indications – numerals, hour-markers, counters – and the hands are silver-toned and blue.

Pink gold is the material of choice for the case of the GranLusso, whose black dial is enriched by hands and indications in pink gold.

Completed by perforated straps, blue or brown stitched, the new Bulgari Octo Retro Maserati has price of Euro 12,500 in black DLC-treated steel (GranSport) or Euro 29,900 in pink gold (GranLusso). They will be available only in Bulgari boutiques. bulgari.com
