Strap for Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Carbon
Integrated bracelet: measurements, the most common questions, and the way to a made-to-measure strap.
Integrated bracelet
The Bulgari Octo 103244 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 to the Bulgari Octo 103244?
No, the bracelet is integrated into the case and doesn't use standard lugs. A commercial strap won't attach. To change it, you need custom construction directly on the watch — that's what I do in the atelier.
How does the bespoke strap process work for this model?
We work by appointment only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>. I take measurements directly from the case, study the octagonal geometry and proprietary lugs, then construct the strap by hand, shaping every detail to respect the case form.
Which leather do you recommend for the Octo 103244?
I favour Mississippi alligator with diagonal scale: it speaks well to the carbon's technical soul and the case's sharp angles, without weighing it down. For something lighter, burnished Barenia ages beautifully, developing a patina that amplifies the model's sporty character.
How long does a well-made strap last?
It depends on wear and care. A full-grain leather strap, made by traditional methods, easily lasts five or six years of regular wear. Good leather ages well, develops character, only asking not to be soaked and to breathe between outings.
Why does this model have an integrated bracelet?
The Octo is designed as a single block — the octagonal case and bracelet are conceived together, like a second skin. This formal choice preserves the purity of geometric architecture. A craft strap reinterprets that dialogue, restoring fluidity without betraying the carbon's boldness.
The next step
The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
