Hands-On With The New Bulgari Octo Roma Chronograph
The Octo Finissimo collection has been the talk of the town for the past few years at Bulgari, and for many reasons. Finissimo watches broke several thinness records and grabbed public attention and four GPHG prizes, all in a relatively short time. Still, in the segment destined for men, Bulgari offers much more than ultra-thin, technically advanced timepieces that come at a price. Bulgari recently updated the Octo Roma family to include several new models, including time-and-date references and four spectacular tourbillons. My attention, however, was drawn to the Octo Roma Chronograph the moment I saw them, and we bonded.Less an Octo but Still an OctoThe Octo is an unmistakable Bulgari creation.

The Polaris Date Green Gradient by Jaeger-LeCoultre is a very handsome edition of the vintage-inspired dual-crown dive watch by the Maison. It comes with a deep forest-green gradient dial in multiple sections, playing with the senses. The centre section is the most green, with the rest of the dial gradually darkening towards the inner rotating bezel on the outside edge. The large applied indices and hands
