The Italian luxury brand Bulgari has again broken its own record for the thinnest mechanical watch in the world . The new Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC watch is just 1.7mm thick – about the same as a strand of classic restaurant spaghetti.
Bulgari has long held the record for the thinnest watch in the world, but after the release of Richard Mille's Ferrari RM UP-01 (1.75 mm) in 2022, it had to make thinner ones. The result is the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC, which comes with an “optimized” 40mm case that is “even thinner than a coin.” Bulgari somehow managed to fit all 170 components that make up the device into a thin body.
Bulgari uses tungsten carbide for the watch's main plate (the component that serves as the basis for all moving parts), as well as titanium for the bracelet, lugs and bezel. Unlike previous record-breaking Bulgari watches, this watch is a certified chronometer. The certificate is provided by the Swiss Official Control of Chronometers (COSC) and indicates that the watch has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it keeps accurate time.
The watch has a “datamatrix” engraved on the back, which Bulgari chief executive Antoine Pin says offers “a digital experience for your watch.” It also gives owners access to “all product information,” including the warranty and user manual. However, it is not specified whether this code links the owner to the NFT, like previous Bulgari ultra-thin watches.
Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC costs $590,000. Only 20 examples were made, each with a case that automatically sets the time and winds the watch.
