Black DLC Titanium Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic 104268

The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic in black DLC titanium is an entry-level option in the series, second only to the highly complicated tourbillons, chronographs, and ultra-thin precision models. A key feature of the series' debut model is its monochromatic matte finish, crafted entirely from sandblasted titanium, from the case and dial to the bracelet https://www.twatchclone.ru/.

The 40mm diameter case is quite imposing, and its 5mm thickness, when viewed from the side, is astonishing. The matte black finish further enhances the visual compactness—black is known for its slimming effect. The rest retains classic features: a crown set with a black ceramic cabochon, sapphire crystal on both sides, and 30-meter water resistance.


This black DLC titanium version features a matte black dial. To ensure legibility (within reasonable limits), all hour markers, hands, numerals, and indices are finished in gloss black. Contrast is good in daylight, but don't expect too much at night—yet the appearance remains outstanding.

Inside the case is the Calibre BVL 138 movement, key to the watch's slim profile. This movement reduces visual thickness through several techniques: firstly, the movement's larger size allows most parts to be laid out in a flat layout, avoiding stacking; secondly, a platinum micro-rotor winds the watch, eliminating the extra thickness of a central rotor, while platinum enhances inertia. In addition, the movement has a 60-hour power reserve, making it practical and reliable.

Gold and Steel Vacheron Constantin 222

The historic Ref. 222 collection is a large family comprised of multiple timepieces. Between 1977 and 1984, the collection offered 24mm, 34mm, and 37mm models, with cases made of 18K gold, stainless steel, two-tone gold, and diamond-set versions. The modern Ref. 222 is based on the 37mm model known as the "Jumbo." Although 37mm is no longer the standard size for men's watches and is even considered "small diameter," the name "Jumbo" has been retained, perhaps for the sake of heritage.

As a luxury sports watch, the Ref. 222 features an integrated case back and bracelet, a toothed bezel, and the brand's iconic Maltese cross engraved at 5 o'clock, making it one of its most recognizable design features. The historic Ref. 222 features a closed case back and is powered by the Vacheron Constantin Caliber 1121 movement. This movement uses a free-sprung balance with a frequency of 19,800 vibrations per hour, setting a benchmark for ultra-thin automatic movements of its time. It is a modified version of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 920, sharing a certain lineage with the Patek Philippe clone Calibre 28-255 and Audemars Piguet Calibre 2120/2121. 

The modern Ref. 222 retains the core design of the original while optimizing and improving some details to better suit modern aesthetics and usage habits. It continues the original's calendar feature, with the date window located at 3 o'clock. The baton hands are coated with luminescent material, echoing the hour markers. The most significant improvement from the original is the addition of a see-through case back. Through the sapphire crystal, the 2455/2 movement can be observed. Unlike the historical model, which was a modified version of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 920, the 2455/2 is a completely in-house movement, with the Geneva Seal engraved on the movement plates.

The Vacheron Constantin Calibre 2455/2 has a diameter of 26.3 mm and a thickness of only 3.6 mm, a frequency of 28,800 VPH, and a power reserve of 40 hours. In homage to the original, the 22K gold rotor is engraved with the number "222". In 2025, the Ref. 222 series will introduce a stainless steel model – also derived from historical timepieces. Aside from the material difference, the two watches are essentially identical in specifications, including a 7.95mm case thickness, extensive brushed finish, the same movement and transparent case back, and 50-meter water resistance.
