The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the Bulgari Octo the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

What is the lug width of the Bulgari Octo 102115?
The Bulgari Octo 102115 features precisely 30-millimetre lugs (watch horns). This dimension represents the internal distance between the upper and lower lug on the same side of the case. Accurate measurement is critical, as even 1–2 millimetres of deviation will compromise compatibility and aesthetic alignment of the strap.
What is the best strap for the Octo 102115?
For this octagonal icon in rose gold, alligator leather represents the optimal choice. Its regular texture and fine grain accentuate the case's geometry, whilst matte lustre engages harmoniously with the gold without visual competition. Dark brown or cognac hues deliver superior chromatic complementarity. Viable alternatives include vegetable-tanned calf or shell cordovan for collectors who value pronounced patina development.
What is the lifespan of a leather strap on an Octo 102115?
A high-quality alligator or calf strap with vegetable tanning and proper maintenance typically lasts 4–6 years under regular wear. Shell cordovan, being denser, often extends to 6–8 years. Longevity depends upon usage frequency, climatic conditions and periodic maintenance (gentle cleansing, rapid drying). Typical wear patterns include testina thinning and minor cracking on the underside; both conditions warrant reconditioning by a professional artisan.
