Strap for Octo Finissimo Automatic Titanium / Green / Harrods
Integrated bracelet: measurements, the most common questions, and the way to a made-to-measure strap.
Integrated bracelet
The Bulgari Octo 100995 is designed with a bracelet integrated into the case. For a compatible made-to-measure strap, the Casati Milano atelier builds it on your watch.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fit a standard strap on the Bulgari Octo 100995?
No. The bracelet is integrated into the titanium case — it's not removable. Bulgari's proprietary lugs don't accept a conventional strap. What I do in the atelier is build an entirely bespoke strap, shaped to the unique geometry of your case.
How does the bespoke strap process work for the Octo?
We work by appointment only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>. I come and take measurements directly from your case — I study the lugs, the curve of the original bracelet, the lug height. From there I hand-craft the strap, ensuring a perfect integration with your titanium case.
Which leather do you recommend for this model?
For the Octo, I prefer naturally aged Barenia. This watch has both a sporty and geometric character — Barenia develops a patina that dialogues well with titanium, without competing with it. Over time, the leather gains depth. Brunished Mississippi Alligator works if you're after a more formal elegance.
How long does a well-made strap last?
With daily wear and minimal care — cleaning it occasionally, keeping it away from extreme moisture — an artisanal strap in quality leather lives 5-7 years, sometimes longer. The leather ages, develops character, patinas. When the time comes, I repair it or rebuild it.
Why does the Octo have an integrated bracelet in the case?
It's a deliberate design choice. Bulgari wanted the bracelet to be part of the octagonal architecture — not an addition, but an extension of the case's geometry. In titanium, it creates a coherent, almost sculptural object. A bespoke strap respects that vision.
The next step
The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
