New releases - Bulgari Octo Roma Worldtimer

Enabling instant reading of the time in 24 time zones, the dial features a central display of the hours, minutes and seconds combined with a double rotating disc on the outer edge: one for the reference cities and another with a 24-hour graduated scale. The functions are adjusted via the crown, first positioning the city of the chosen time zone at 12 o’clock, then setting the time until the hours and minutes hands indicate the exact time in the selected time zone. The integrated movement developed by the Manufacture comprises 261 components. The 41 mm stainless steel case is water resistant to 100 m.
