One of two new watches from Bvlgari's Octo range, urban, contemporary, and sporty are the adjectives being applied to the blacked out new Octo L'Orignale Chronograph from Bulgari.
A fusion of Swiss watchmaking expertise and Italian creativity (not to mention the approval of Watchuseek Senior Editor Bhanu Chopra), this high-performance watch focuses more on style rather than mere legibility.
Framed by a 41mm-diameter Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC)-treated stainless steel case, fitted with a black rubber strap, the matt black dial bears black hands, numerals, and hour markers.

The graphic appeal of the piece is accentuated by the balanced V-shaped layout of the three counters, with minutes at 3 o'clock, hours at 6 o'clock and seconds at 9 o'clock, while the date appears through a window between 4 and 5 o'clock.
This strong and elegant creation exudes the kind of distinctive character typical of the Octo collection, easily recognizable and majestically highlighting an authentic technical vocation.
