Bulgari pays tribute to Brazil by dressing its Octo Bi-Retro watch in Brazil’s national color of green, yellow and blue. The colourful, technical and daring new watch sports a 43 mm case in steel with ceramic and rhodium inserts and comes equipped with a mechanical self-winding Caliber GG7722 with a 45-hour power reserve. Created by the master artisans of the Manufacture Bulgari, at the heart of the Swiss Jura, the dial of the Octo Bi-Retro Brazil is meticulously hand-crafted in three different colours using the precious champlevé technique, a delicate and complex exercise.
Green, the traditional colour of the House of Braganza, the former Brazilian royal family, symbolises hope and nature. It is a direct reference to the Amazon Forest, one of the world’s major treasures. Yellow evokes gold, the emblematic colour of the Habsburg dynasty, as well as the natural resources of a country capable of drawing upon its roots, its history and its native soil to nurture its growth and its development. Blue is a tribute to the stunning sky over Rio de Janeiro, one of the world’s most festive cities where much of the 2014 World Cup will take place.
Octo Bi-Retro Brazil comes fitted with a rubber strap secured by a steel folding clasp. It is limited to only 50 pieces, each individually numbered. Pricing on request.
