First Look: The All-Black Bvlgari Octo Roma Automatic & Chronograph
Ancient Rome is a constant well of inspiration at Bulgari that deftly transforms architectural motifs from the past into fresh, stylish designs. The dynamic geometry of the Octo Roma, released in 2012 and refreshed in 2023, is said to have been inspired by the octagonal coffering found on the vaults of the 4th-century Basilica of Maxentius in the Roman Forum. Now in its sportier, more robust and less angular format, the Octo Roma revisits two models - a time-and-date and a chronograph - dressed from head-to-toe in black.An iconic Bulgari collection, the Octo Roma was the departure point for the record-breaking Octo Finissimo legion. Revisited over the years, the latest facelift corresponds to 2023, when the Octo Roma’s case became less angular and more rounded. The idea was to position the Octo Roma as an alternative to the ultra-thin Octo Finissimo, offering more robust, sportier cases and increased versatility thanks to the quick-release interchangeable strap system.

Hands-On - Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Titanium 6000m
The Seamaster, a collection born in 1948, is the most enduring range produced by Omega. Born as a child of peace, yet with military-tested technology, the diving-oriented lineup has since been the perfect vehicle for experimentation and innovation, constantly pushing the limits of water-resistance, but also of materials, metallurgy and technology. A couple of years ago, Omega presented the Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional, a innovation-packed prototype that happened to be a record-breaking watch, with 15,000m water-resistant, and field-tested a whopping depth of 10,928m, when it reached the deepest point in the ocean during the Five Deeps Expedition to the Mariana Trench. Today, the brand presents the commercial version of this watch, a barely-downgraded model with a complete steel collection and this, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Titanium, with an impressive 6,000m water-resistance.?The Seamaster, from Lake Biel to the Mariana TrenchThe story of the Omega Seamaster,
