About this watch

Band: Black rubber & black alligator Clasp: DLC pin buckle Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 100 m Bvlgari, the 142-year-old Roman jewellery maison, released the ref. 103927 Octo Roma in 2024. Known for incorporating aspects of ancient Roman art and culture into its creations, the brand drew on the octagonal lacunaria in the 4th century Basilica of Maxentius for inspiration. The 41 mm octagonal case has a highly recognisable silhouette; made from sandblasted stainless steel with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, the watch is blacked out and stealthy. It is pressure-resistant to 10 bar (100 m), making it suitable for surface swimming with proper care and maintenance. Please note that the leather strap is inappropriate for the water and will perish more quickly if exposed. The black dial features a Clous de Paris or ‘Parisian hobnail’ design that creates a texture that changes with the light. The hour markers and hands are made from blackened stainless steel that will glow in low-light conditions after exposure to UV. Protecting the hands is a scratch- and glare-resistant sapphire crystal, offering durability and clarity in bright light. The same sapphire material is used on the exhibition case back, which provides a window to the in-house, automatic Bvlgari BVL 191 calibre ‘Solotempo’. It operates at 4 Hz, utilises ceramic ball bearings for efficient, bi-directional winding, and offers a 42-hour power reserve. This Blvgari Octo Roma has just been through our service centre, Watch Tech, and is covered by the balance of the manufacturer’s warranty. Box & additional strap. Circa 2024.
