A day before Watches & Wonders 2023, luxury fashion house Bulgari launches its new Octo Roma collection, featuring six new novelties that give a nod to the brand’s Roman roots and rich heritage.
The Octo range was first introduced in 2012 and the new Octo Romawatchesare versatile, sophisticated and elegant. The new watches in the collection are a way for Bulgari to redefine its octagonal style and they’ve been designed with Swiss watchmaking and Italian flair to elevate the octagonal watch shape that Bulgari is known for.

The next four watches are the Octo Roma Tourbillons that are meant to represent the “perfect fusion of Swiss watchmaking excellence and Roman creativity”. Starting off with the first duo: the Octo Roma Striking Papillon Tourbillon and the Octo Roma Striking Tourbillon Saphir. Both 44mm watches are a modern take on Haute Horlogerie, and have been given new cases with a lighter feel, soft curves and a more refined design.
The Tourbillon in each watch is alternately displayed at 6 o’clock and the hands and minutes work intricately together, moving back and forth between horizontal and vertical positions. With a 60-64 hour power reserve, the Striking Papillon Tourbillon and Striking Tourbillon Saphir are both eye-catching with black rubber alligator straps, titanium folding buckles and neon green accents.

The final two watches in the Octo Roma collection are the Octo Roma Precious Naturalia and the Octo Roma Tourbillon Lumiere. Like the first duo, this second duo both share a connection with use of hard stone or diamond elements.
The Precious Naturalia has a skeletonized manufacture movement and the gear train can be observed as it gets closer to 6 o’clock. The 44mm watch features the brown and gold tones of tiger eye that cover each of the 12 indexes, a satin-brushed rose gold case and crown, and a brown alligator strap with rose gold folding buckle.
