A Guide to Bulgari’s Latest Titanium Watches and More

At Geneva Watch Days 2026, Bulgari puts titanium at the center of its latest watchmaking creations. The material, which has been part of the Roman maison’s collection since 2014, appears in three distinct interpretations: as the foundation for a collaboration with independent watchmaker Vianney Halter, as the canvas for the optically disruptive Octo Finissimo Dazzle, and in two new models that expand the Bulgari Aluminium family with titanium cases. Together, the watches demonstrate how Bulgari combines lightweight design with its distinctive style and technical sophistication.

Octo Finissimo Dual Time × Vianney Halter

The Octo Finissimo Dual Time × Vianney Halter marks a first for the collection, bringing Bulgari together with the independent watchmaker for a collaboration that extends beyond the case and dial to the movement itself. Designed jointly by Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Product Creation Executive Director at Bulgari, and Vianney Halter, the extraordinary watch combines the Octo Finissimo’s famous geometric architecture with Halter’s unique retro-futuristic aesthetic, including four opaline displays, blue sculpted hands and a red arrow-shaped seconds hand. 

The 40.5mm titanium case measures just 9.70mm thick and houses the BVF 200 manufacture movement wound via a micro-rotor that bears Vianney Halter's signature and a 60-hour power reserve. The beautifully finished caliber provides hours, minutes, small seconds, GMT, date and day/night indications. 

Bulgari offers the model in brushed titanium, limited to 30 pieces, for $80,000 and in a sandblasted and brushed pink-gold version limited to 15 pieces, which retails for $123,000. Both are water-resistant to 30 meters.

Octo Finissimo Dazzle

The Octo Finissimo Dazzle continues Bulgari’s exploration of titanium as an artistic canvas, following the Octo Finissimo collaboration with Emirati artist Mattar Bin Lahej, introduced at Dubai Watch Week 2025. While the earlier edition used laser-engraved Arabic calligraphy to give the case and bracelet a sculptural character, the Dazzle takes the technique in a more abstract direction, using geometric patterns to create an optical illusion. The 40mm case, dial and integrated bracelet are covered with a geometric pattern inspired by automotive dazzle camouflage. Laser engraving, mastered by Bulgari, creates the intricate pattern across the titanium surfaces, making the decoration an integral part of the time-only watch’s appearance. 

Measuring just 5.15mm thick, the sandblasted titanium case houses the BVL 138 ultra-thin manufacture movement with micro-rotor, 60-hour power reserve and a frequency of 3 Hz. Limited to 80 pieces, the Octo Finissimo Dazzle is priced at $18,300.

Bulgari Titanio GMT

The Bulgari Titanio GMT brings the lightweight metal into the sporty Aluminium family with a 40mm sandblasted titanium case and black rubber bezel. The combination of matte titanium, black rubber and a black dial with contrasting white markings gives the watch a distinctly technical appearance. Its 24-hour GMT display incorporates a day/night indication, while Super-LumiNova enhances the gray hands and central GMT hand. 

Inside, the automatic B192 caliber operates at 4 Hz and provides a 50-hour power reserve. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters and comes on a black rubber strap with titanium links. The model follows Bulgari’s continued experimentation with materials in the Aluminium line, which in 2025 saw the introduction of bronze for the first time, alongside two new Octo Finissimo models presented at Geneva Watch Days. The Bulgari Titanio GMT is priced at $4,750.

Bulgari Titanio Chronograph

The Bulgari Titanio Chronograph takes the same titanium-and-rubber formula into chronograph territory. Its 41mm sandblasted titanium case is also paired with a black rubber bezel and a matte black dial featuring gray details, contrasting chronograph counters and a tachymeter scale. Powering the watch is Bulgari’s automatic B381 chronograph caliber, which operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 42-hour power reserve. A date aperture is positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock. In keeping with the character of the collection, 100-meter water resistance and a black rubber strap with titanium links complement the lightweight titanium construction, reinforcing the watch’s sporty and functional character. Pricing is marked at $6,050.
