Bulgari strikes hard with its new Octo Roma WorldTimer. This sophisticated watch offers a simple and instantaneous reading of the time in 24 time zones. Discover how this timepiece combining technicality and elegance could well revolutionize your relationship with time.
An iconic design at the service of travel
The Bulgari Octo Roma WorldTimer is part of the Octo line of watches, recognizable among thousands thanks to their octagonal case designed by the legendary Gรฉrald Genta. This WorldTimer version is no exception to the rule with its 58 distinct facets that give it a unique character.
With a diameter of 41 mm and a thickness of approximately 12 mm, this watch fits both men's and women's wrists. Our test model sports a sandblasted black DLC-treated steel case, but a brushed and polished stainless steel version is also available.
Simplified time reading on a global scale
The strength of the Bulgari Octo Roma WorldTimer lies in its ability to simultaneously display the time in 24 time zones. The ingenious system developed by Bulgari allows for intuitive and instantaneous reading:
The setting is made simply via the screw-down, double-knurled crown. Once the reference city is positioned at noon and the time set, you can read the time in any city in the world at a glance.
A manufacturing movement that lives up to its ambitions

Some notable technical features:
The careful finishing, with Geneva stripes extending over the rotor and bridges, gives the movement a technical rather than refined appearance, in keeping with the functionality of the watch.
A readable dial despite its complexity
Despite the presence of the universal time indication, Bulgari has managed to maintain the characteristic readability of its watches. The sandblasted black dial highlights the essential elements:
