The BVLGARI BVLGARI Collection...

The collection that first comes to mind when talking about Bulgari watches. Established since 1977!
NOVELTIES:
- BVLGARI BVLGARI Diagono Ceramic
Diagono Ceramic
As the name already hints, ceramics are a major feature of this year’s rejuvenation of this timeless collection. Most prominent beneficiary is the bezel, formerly made with rubber and now crafted from brushed black ceramics. Note how precise the BVLGARI BVLGARI logo is engraved (quite a feat Bulgari rightfully is proud of, considering how hard the material is!):
Also the pushers and the crown inserts are made of the same material:
Strap and strap attachment have been revised to offer better fit and wearing comfort.
Bulgari offers this watch also with pink gold case and in two feminine versions in 37mm with mother-of-pearl dial and steel or pink gold case, respectively.
Movement wise there is not much to report. The Cal. BVL 130 is rated with a power reserve of 42h and a frequency of 28.880 vph, enough data to hint an ETA 2894 modular chronograph engine. At least a very reliable movement with column wheel and vertical clutch.
Overall, a distinctive sporty watch. Not overloaded and sporting a fine balance of design elements and features, just enough to play with a little. Easy to wear in a (not too formal) business environment and later on the Adriatic beach… Its (by today’s standards) modest diameter of 42mm helps a lot, too!
