Would you consider an All Black Bulgari Endurer with an "all black" dial?

Jan 19, 2014,23:03 PM
 

With all the recent attention being paid to Bulgari's Octo watch, not much has been said or developments being made regarding the Endurer Chronosprint - once thought to attract equal attention and excitement. A metal band version of the Endurer Chronosprint proved to be just as comfortable and attractive as the Octo's. 





One has to wonder whether there will be any further releases of the Endurer, and also question - how successful was the Endurer All Blacks watch? The all black version of the Endurer Chronosprint was highly anticipated at the time and when the All Blacks version was released, although impressive and interesting, was definitely a little different from what was expected. 


The truth of the matter is, as cool, artistic and inspiring as the watch was, inspired by the winning New Zealand national rugby team, the design of the dial also made it more of a novelty watch. Not everyone may want to have a stylized Maori tattoo on the dial of their watch. So the question is: 

"Would you be more willing to consider an All-Black Endurer Chronosprint if the dial was plain?" (black without the Maori design) 

Please forgive the rough Photoshop mock-up.

I think that those all-black stealth designs with impossible legibility are a thing of the past already; thankfully so. They were neither practical nor good-looking. It was the Maori tattoo-style that raised the black Endurer above the anonymous mass of t...

That's a tricky one. I love the design of this watch, but found that the 'All Blacks' version never looked quite right to me but to be honest I can't really be sure why? Maybe the dial would have been better with a non symmetric part of the tattoo, so it ... 

I think Bulgari needs to make a new all black PVD version of the Endurer

Maybe one that has some color accents in it such as an all black PVD with yellow accents or maybe even red accents. I never liked the Maori tattoo version and don't think many here did either. I've been wearing the Endurer Chronosprint almost every day fo...

HI Ping, I usually like to wear big watches, pam 47mm, Rolex 44mm, but this one is way too big for my wrist due to its case design. I couldn't agree with the metal one and I don't think it will change my mind for the black out version, tho interesting. Th... 

If you can wear a 47mm Panerai, you should be able to wear an Endurer

Then Endurer isn't any larger IMO. In fact it may feel smaller because it's thinner and you don't have the protruding crown guard. I have both so if you can pull off a 47mm Panerai, you can definitely pull off the Bulgari Endurer. Maybe try the rubber str...
