Bvlgari Unveils Limited Octo Finissimo Gübelin Edition with Blue Accents

In a unique partnership, luxury watchmaker Bvlgari has teamed up with Swiss retailer Gübelin to launch a limited-edition timepiece. The new watch, called the Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days – Gübelin Edition, is available only through Gübelin boutiques. This elegant timepiece adds a fresh look to Bvlgari’s well-known ultra-thin Octo Finissimo collection.

The new model stands out for its slim build, clean blue design elements, and an impressive eight-day power reserve.

A Fresh Take on a Signature Design

The Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days – Gübelin Edition keeps the original 40mm octagonal case. It is made of sandblasted titanium, a material known for being light, strong, and resistant to rust. The matte surface of the case contrasts with its polished edges, creating a mix of textures that reflect light beautifully.

The crown features a black ceramic insert, which offers both a visual contrast and a smooth touch when adjusting the time. This detail adds to the watch’s unique and elegant feel.

Striking Blue Touches and a See-Through Caseback

One of the most eye-catching changes in this edition is the use of blue accents. These appear on the small seconds dial and on the power reserve indicator, which sits neatly between the 7 and 8 o’clock positions.

The back of the watch is transparent and shows the internal movement. It also includes an engraved message in the same shade of blue, reading “Gübelin Special Edition.” This personal touch highlights the special nature of this limited release.

Comfort and Functionality Combined

The bracelet, also made of titanium, shares the same sandblasted finish as the case. It closes with a triple-blade folding clasp that is easy to use and secure. Titanium is not only lighter than steel but also hypoallergenic. This makes the watch more comfortable for people with sensitive skin or those who wear it daily.

Despite its elegant design, the watch is also practical. It offers water resistance up to 30 meters, making it safe from splashes and brief submersion.

Eight Days of Power, Hand-Wound Precision

Inside the case, a hand-wound skeleton movement powers the watch. This mechanical marvel offers an eight-day power reserve, which is rare for ultra-thin watches. Most luxury watches in this category provide far less.

The design allows you to see the internal parts in motion, showing the high level of craftsmanship. Bvlgari blends Italian design with Swiss engineering, and this timepiece is a clear example of that fusion.

Part of a Record-Breaking Legacy

Bvlgari’s Octo Finissimo collection has won global attention for setting records in the world of thin watch design. Since the first model launched in 2014, the line has continued to surprise fans with thinner and more complex watches each year.

The Gübelin Edition keeps this tradition alive. It offers a clean design and functional updates while staying true to the line’s signature style.

Exclusive and Limited

This special edition is only available in limited numbers. Each piece is priced at CHF 27,900. It will be sold only in Gübelin boutiques, adding to its rarity and appeal among collectors.

Luxury watch lovers will likely move quickly to secure one of these unique pieces. The limited availability and the trusted names of Bvlgari and Gübelin make this a sought-after item in 2025.
