BVLGARI OCTO FINISSIMO ULTRA COSC

 The world’s thinnest mechanical high quality watches replica, the new 1.70mm Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC

 

Bulgari regains the title with the world’s thinnest mechanical watch at just 1.70 mm thick.

Competition for ultra-thin watches is fiercer than ever. Watches with thicknesses that were unimaginable just a few years ago have recently become available, with manufacturers squeezing complex functions into the smallest possible space and relentlessly pursuing micrometers. Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo legend has gained widespread recognition in this area. A series of extraordinary records set by the brand include the Octo Finissimo Ultra, the world's thinnest mechanical watch in 2022, which is only 1.8 mm thick. However, Bulgari’s reign was short-lived and a few months later, Richard Mille launched the RM UP-01 with a thickness of 1.75mm. But now it’s time for Bulgari to take back the trophy and the bragging rights. The new 1.70mm Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC watch is the world’s thinnest mechanical best replica watches.

The Octo Finissimo needs no introduction as it has become a true icon in the world of horology. It's the epitome of style and Italian elegance. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, it is also a technical achievement, as thinning a watch to such extremes is a difficult task that requires extreme precision and skill. Bulgari held the record for the world's thinnest mechanical watch with the Octo Finissimo Ultra until Richard Mille's stunning RM UP-01 was released. But now it’s time for Bulgari to reclaim the record with the 1.70mm Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC watch.

From a technical point of view, Ultra COSC follows the same principles as the first Octo Finissimo Ultra. Developed in conjunction with motion specialists Concepto, this technical achievement pushes the limits of ultra-thin manufacturing, shrinking components and working to the most extreme tolerances. It also required out-of-the-box thinking and a complete redesign of the entire watch, reimagining every component, its architecture and functionality. The development involves the filing of at least eight patents. Assembly of a single movement/watch takes about a week, which gives us an idea of the precision required when working to such tight tolerances.

Just like the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept, the case back of the Finissimo Ultra is also the base plate of the movement. The idea is to avoid having different layers in the watch architecture, to utilize the entire surface of the watch and rearrange and build all functions on the same level. The regulator-like display features separate time indications, avoiding overlapping hands. Instead of the standard crown, there are two horizontal knobs on each side of the case, one for winding and the other for setting the time. Three rollers drive the oversized barrel to rotate. The balance is equipped with leaf springs, has no scale, and has adjusting weights. Richard Mille watches replica

In order to become thin enough to set a new record, the shape of the bezel, crystal, dial and barrel of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC have all been redesigned. So, there’s no revolution in watch construction; overall, it feels familiar. The same materials are used: tungsten carbide for the main plate and titanium for the lugs, bezel, middle case and bracelet. It has the same monochromatic gray finish, but with higher contrast on the hour and minute dials. One change, though, is that the ratchet is engraved with a geometric pattern rather than a QR code. The QR code on the back of the watch has been replaced by a miniaturized Datamatrix; it provides access to all data related to the watch and invites you to embark on a personal journey into the Bulgari universe.

As the name suggests, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC watch also has chronometer certification, indicating that it is more than just a concept or prototype watch, which is no mean feat. Every watch must undergo COSC testing, which lasts for 15 days in different locations and temperatures. Of course, this also makes it the thinnest chronometer watch to date. jacob & co astronomia replica

Finally, for this extraordinary timepiece, Bulgari has developed a very special box with a digital interface that allows you to wind the watch and set the time. You simply place the watch into the case, enter the time, and press the button to start the adjustment cycle. Within moments, the watch is wound and set to the desired time.

Last but not least, in addition to this 1.70 mm Ultra COSC watch, Bulgari also launches another version of the 1.80 mm Octo Finissimo Ultra watch in tungsten carbide and platinum, equipped with blue hours and Minute dial. replica Bell & Ross BR 05 CHRONO watches
