Mixed Reaction to the new Bulgari Diagono watches

Chronograph
The Bulgari Diagono Chronograph looks like a good prospect for someone interested in a BVLGARI chronograph watch. The movement is based on a classic....some say iconic.....specialised chronograph movement that should give great 'feel' if adjusted well. Some may be 'restricted' by a chronograph with 1/6th seconds best resolution but nobody in the 21st century measures fractions of a second with a mechanical device anyway
The key point is the thinner movement of an integrated chronograph allows an elegant case proportion.
Lunar Display
From a functional perspective, the moon phase display (pointer) that Bulgari employs for the Diagono Calendar watch allows better estimate of the Moon age in the cycle......waxing or waning. The traditional peep show of moon face is more romantic and visually representative of the Moon cycle but almost impossible to guess the actual phase except for the Full moon and New moon days. Anything in-between is guess work.
Personally, I like the romantic face of the Moon peeping from the clouds but that IS a personal choice.
Regards,

Thanks Ping. And a quick question, if I may. Do u know if the Chrono is powered by a base FP mvt ?
Hi Flamenco.....

The Steel Calibro 303 (blue one) is powered by the FP 1185 chrono movement. The RG Moon Phase model is powered by a GP 3100 base with a in house module for the Calendar/Lunar function. Thanks, KHD

They seem to be refining the shape of the double Bulgari logo bezel more and more on their watches. My guess is that the chronograph will be a popular watch for sure.
The Calibro 303 looks nice

I'm a little iffy on the Diagono Moonphase though because the dial looks too busy. I'll reserve my final opinion until I see this piece in the flesh. Cheers, Anthony
Moonphase

The treatment of the moonphase is interesting I have to say, quite contemporary actually. The chronograph is classic and strong and should sell well.
