New Bulgari Bulgari And Bulgari Octo Watch In Bright Blue

Both the Bulgari Bulgari and the Bulgari Octo contain the same movement actually - which is the in-house made Bulgari caliber BVL191. This decent-looking automatic has a power reserve of 42 hours and operates at 4Hz. It is a nice element to have in-house movements in these less wildly priced Bulgari timepieces and is part of a larger effort by the brand to increase the cache of their timepieces among make watch aficionados https://www.captainthewatch.is.

Aside from the Bulgari Bulgari's blue dial which is new for 2015, Bulgari has added a blue-dialed version of their newer Bulgari Octo 38 in steel. Note that the blue dial color on the Bulgari Octo is exclusively available (at least in 2015) on the Bulgari Octo 38 and not the larger Octo. 
 
The Bulgari Octo 38 is a smaller version of the Bulgari Octo which is normally 41mm wide. I prefer the 41, but there is a lot to say for the Bulgari Octo 38 for those who like a more demure look on their wrist. Ironically enough, the Bulgari Bulgari and the Bulgari Octo are both Gerald Genta designs. In fact, most of the men's watch models at Bulgari today are Genta designs - which once again speaks to the lasting influence of the 20th century's greatest watch designer.
