OCTO ALL BLACKS SPECIAL EDITION
Bulgari and the All Blacks New Zealand rugby team pay homage to their 130th anniversary with
a new special edition watch celebrating more than a century of joint victories, passions and
shared values.
Several bonds unite Bulgari with the All Blacks team besides their joint anniversary. As
emphasised by Jean-Christophe Babin, Bulgari Chief Executive Officer, the two names
are synonymous with perfection – each on its own “playing field” – and this new joint
watchmaking collaboration is f illed with mutual values: “I am extremely happy to present the
new OCTO All Blacks timepiece: a creation that further consolidates a successful partnership with
the legendary All Blacks team. Bulgari OCTO All Blacks embodies the core values of two brands
that are part of the global elite, both universally recognized for their strong passion, commitment,
teamwork, success and power in their respective f ield. Design, performance and sporting spirit reach
their highest expression in this special edition masterpiece of technical sophistication and aesthetic
ref inement.”
The OCTO All Blacks asserts itself as a concentrated blend of mechanical and aesthetic
power. Presented in a rugby ball-shaped box, the watch retains the original characteristics
of the OCTO. The 110 facets case is covered in a Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating.
The case-back of the watch, which is water resistant to 100 metres, reveals the movement
through a smoky sapphire crystal adorned with the All Blacks’ emblem: a silver fern. The
mechanical self-winding 28-jewel calibre BVL 193 measures the time with great accuracy at
the rate of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offers a 50-hour power reserve. It also provides a date
function displayed through a window at 3 o’clock that goes virtually unnoticed – as indeed do
the polished and brushed black hour-markers – on a front dial that asserts the full force of its
personality with a bewitching Maori mask or Mana, tattooed on its background.
