Bulgari has become the best at making the thinnest watch in the world again, beating Richard Mille’s last best one. We remember when Richard Mille and Ferrari worked together and surprised everyone by making a record-breaking watch. But now, Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo Ultra is back and even better, showing off its amazing engineering skills by beating other watches.
The story started when Richard Mille worked with Ferrari to make a watch that became the thinnest in the world, beating Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo Ultra by only 0.05mm, just four months after it came out. This was a big change in the luxury watch world, and both fans and people in the industry were amazed by the new ideas from both brands.
Yet, the tables have turned once again, as Bulgari unveils the new Octo Finissimo Ultra, boasting a thickness of 1.7mm, surpassing Richard Mille’s offering by an additional 0.05mm. However, Bulgari’s triumph doesn’t stop there; they have raised the stakes by obtaining COSC certification for the new Ultra, making it not only the thinnest watch ever crafted but also the thinnest chronometer-certified timepiece in existence.
But now, things are different as Bulgari introduces the latest Octo Finissimo Ultra, which is just 1.7mm thick, beating Richard Mille’s watch by another 0.05mm. But Bulgari’s success doesn’t end there. They went even further by getting COSC certification for the new Ultra, making it not just the thinnest watch ever made, but also the thinnest chronometer-certified watch ever.
The Octo Finissimo series got lots of praise for breaking records, like having the thinnest tourbillon, minute repeater, self-winding watch, self-winding tourbillon, chronograph GMT, tourbillon chronograph, and perpetual calendar.
The new Octo Finissimo Ultra isn’t just thin; it also has a titanium case and a tungsten carbide caseback, showing Bulgari cares about both how it looks and works. Plus, there’s a Datamatrix on the ratchet, so owners can find out lots of details about the watch from different sources.
Even though it was hard to get COSC certification for such a super-thin movement, Bulgari managed to make a watch that’s really precise and well-made. They carefully worked on the sapphire crystal, showing how much they care about making watches better and better.
To make it easier for owners, Bulgari made a special case with a digital display for setting the watch accurately and easily, like having your own personal watch expert.
