Leave your mark in style

With Octo Roma, Bulgari redefines the style of the octagon. This new collection is a symbol of elegance that elevates the octagonal watch to a new level of modern sophistication. Its unique shape, round without being round, is a nod to Bulgari’s Roman roots and exquisite heritage.

The octagonal shape comes from the extraordinary history of Italian architecture, appearing in iconic structures like the Pantheon and the works of Leonardo da Vinci; in particular, the octagonal geometry characterizes the vaults of the Basilica of Maxentius, built in the 4th century on one of the most important architectural sites in Rome.

Distinctive aesthetic, round without being round and versatile

The Italian style of Bulgari watchmaking permeates every detail of the Octo Roma, from its fine craftsmanship to its elegant lines, not forgetting its perfectly dimensioned case.

Octo Roma captivates with a subtle and refined case design, which combines a round effect in an octagonal frame. This extraordinary visual impact is achieved through an intricate combination of two different geometric shapes in the case design. The satin-brushed top round bezel contrasts with the polished octagonal bottom of the bezel to create a striking “but not quite classic” aesthetic with bold personality. The inner octagonal ring enhances the design as the dial takes on an octagonal shape. Faceted handles complete a balanced and sophisticated set. The Octo Roma collection exudes power through its meticulously designed details, making the watch a masterpiece that showcases Bulgari’s commitment to craftsmanship and quality.
