The brief

Bulgari has released two distinct Octo Finissimo models: a collaboration with independent watchmaker Vianney Halter featuring a dual-time complication and a "Dazzle" camouflage-inspired design. The Halter collaboration introduces new modules to the BVL 138 movement, adding GMT, day/night, and a large date display, presented in a design that merges Halter's steampunk aesthetic with the Octo Finissimo's geometry. The "Dazzle" model utilizes a laser-engraved geometric motif on its case and bracelet, inspired by automotive camouflage.
