- Is the Bvlgari Octo a good everyday watch?
- Yes. The steel case, sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance handle daily wear well. The angular case is bulky, so try it on if you have a small wrist.
- How does the Octo compare with the Octo Finissimo?
- The Finissimo is much thinner and often titanium, so it wears lighter and dressier. This steel Octo is more robust and has a bolder presence.
- Does the black lacquer dial scratch?
- The lacquer sits under sapphire crystal, so the dial itself is protected. The glossy surface does show fingerprints, so it needs occasional wiping.
- What is the power reserve?
- About 45 hours. If you take it off for a weekend, it may stop and need resetting and winding.
- Can I swim with it?
- Yes, it is rated to 100 m. That covers swimming and snorkeling, but not diving.
- Is it a men's watch only?
- It is marketed as a men's watch and the case is large. Some women wear it as an oversized statement piece.
- Where is the Bvlgari Octo Black Lacquered Men's Luxury Watch cheapest?
- At Jomashop, for $13,500.00, as of our latest check.
