Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Titanium (Ref: 103016), Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Marble for Only Watch 2023 (Add your watch to the comments below…)

The Bulgari caliber BLV 268 is an extra thin flying tourbillon movement. In fact, it is regarded as the thinnest manual-wind flying tourbillon movement in the world.

In Bulgari’s own words:

“The quest for thinness has been one of the watchmaker’s goals for a long time. By introducing the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon, Bulgari has reached a new milestone in the development of ultra-thin watches with a major complication: its 5.00 mm thick case makes this flying tourbillon watch simply the slimmest on the market – no other even comes close.” -Bulgari catalog, Haute Horology Collection, 2017

Watches with this movement:

The Bulgari calibre BLV268 is featured in the carved green marble Octo Finissimo Tourbillon model, specially made for the Only Watch 2023 charity auction (Lot 15).
