The Bulgari Octo 102714 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 I fit a standard strap on the Bulgari Octo 102714?
No, the bracelet is integrated into the case and the lug attachment has a proprietary octagonal geometry. A conventional strap won't fit. This is where craftsmanship steps in: I build the strap bespoke in the atelier, shaping each attachment to dialogue perfectly with the sharp edges of the titanium case.
How does the bespoke strap work for this model?
I work by appointment only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, our atelier at Via XX Settembre 15 in Milan. I take measurements directly from the case, analyse the octagonal geometry and craft the strap around that specific architecture. It's not an adaptation — it's crafted thinking.
Which leather would I recommend for the Octo 102714?
Mississippi alligator in smoke-anthracite tone. This model carries a sportive-elegant character, geometric and contemporary, and alligator absorbs that hardness without becoming cold. The natural texture dialogues with the sharp edges of the case. For those who prefer warmth: naturally aged Barenia, which develops a noble patina over years.
How long does a well-made strap last?
With conscious use, eight to ten years minimum. Longevity depends on care: avoid prolonged moisture, don't force the buckles, let the leather breathe when you take it off. An alligator or Barenia strap ages beautifully if treated with respect — every scratch tells the story of your time with the watch.
Why does the Octo need a strap built in an atelier?
Because Gérald Genta designed the case as a complete architectural work: eight perfect sides, sharp edges, geometry that admits no compromise. A generic strap betrays this formal purity. Building it by hand, respecting that geometry, is the only way to preserve the integrity of the original design.
The next step
