Bulgari’s New $529K Octo Finissimo Ultra Is Now The World’s Thinnest Mechanical Watch

The watch world has a new world recorder holder!

In the pursuit of achieving horological excellence, there’s been an ongoing competition between watchmakers to see who can engineer the thinnest mechanical movement. After disrupting Bulgari’s ultra-thin, record-breaking Octo Finissinmo collection last year, Richard Mille entered the ring and took the title with the $1.888 million RM UP-01 Ferrari and its 1.75mm movement. Today, Bulgari is proud to secure the prestigious title of the World’s Thinnest Mechanical Watch with the release of its all-new Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC just ahead of Geneva Watch Week 2024. Showcasing two eye-catching versions crafted from platinum and titanium, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra presents a robust 40mm octagonal case fitted with a thin crystal that beautifully displays its complex, openworked design.

Saving space in every sector, Bulgari uses the appeal of its intricate craftsmanship to set the stage for its dial. Added style comes from the colored subdials that stand out amongst its monochrome look, with blue deciphering platinum while grey hints at titanium. The most impressive characteristic of the new Octo Finissimo Ultra is Bulgari’s record-breaking 1.50mm thick COSC-certified movement, equipped with manual winding, regulator display, BVL180 caliber, 28’800 Vph (4 Hz) frequency, and a 50-hour power reserve. Both variations of the Octo Finissimo Ultra come fitted on matching platinum and titanium bracelets with integrated folding buckles. The all-new platinum Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC is limited to only 20 pieces and comes with a jaw-dropping retail price of $529,000.
