An anniversary release that’s a wearable symbol of connection, identity and forward momentum
To commemorate Singapore’s 60th year of independence, Bvlgari has unveiled a collector’s edition of its Octo Roma Worldtimer. Echoing the journey of Bvlgari founder Sotirio Bulgari, who left Greece for Rome to build a house of cosmopolitan luxury, this watch bridges heritage with modernity, fitting for a country where tradition and innovation co-exist.
Cased in sandblasted stainless steel and finished with a sleek black DLC coating, the 41mm timepiece is built for the modern globetrotter. A matte black dial anchors the design, with luminous white indexes and black PVD-treated hands for sharp legibility. A red lacquered seconds hand adds contrast, matching the red-and-black 24-hour ring that indicates day and night hours.
Singapore’s place on the dial is unmistakable—marked in vivid red on the cities ring, setting it apart among the 24 global time zones. It’s a subtle but striking nod to the SG60 milestone, underscoring Singapore’s unique position in global culture and commerce.
Inside, the watch is powered by the in-house BVL 257 automatic calibre, developed from the proven BVL 191 architecture. The movement enables simultaneous display of 24 time zones via dual rotating discs. Just 6.03mm thick, the movement beats at 4Hz and delivers a 42-hour power reserve. A sapphire crystal caseback offers a clear view of the refined mechanics within.
Practicality meets performance with a 100m water resistance and two interchangeable rubber straps—one in black, the other in a bold red—secured with a black DLC-treated steel pin buckle.
This exclusive edition, Ref. 104230, will be showcased at Bvlgari’s BEYOND TIME pop-up exhibition at Paragon Mall Atrium in Singapore from July 18 to August 10, 2025. The immersive display will spotlight the brand’s haute horlogerie expertise and commemorate SG60 with a global perspective on timekeeping.
