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 102581?
The Bulgari Octo 102581 features a lug width of 30 millimetres, measured internally between the attachment pins. This dimension is model-specific and essential for ensuring compatibility with aftermarket straps of quality.
What is the best strap for the Bulgari Octo 102581?
Alligator in vegetable tanning is the most recommended choice: its regular texture dialogues elegantly with the octagonal facets of the case. Shell cordovan represents a noble alternative that develops an extraordinary patina over time, whilst vegetable-tanned calf offers softness and minimalist elegance.
How do you change the strap on a Bulgari Octo 102581?
The strap is replaced using a spring bar remover tool that allows the attachment pins to be released from the lugs. Position the pin in the hole of the internal spring, apply gentle pressure and slide the pin out of its housing. The operation takes approximately two minutes per side.
Are aftermarket straps compatible with the Bulgari Octo 102581?
Yes, any strap with a 30-millimetre lug width is completely compatible. The bespoke artisanal straps from Milano Straps respect this exact dimension and offer material and colour options that enhance the geometric aesthetics of the model.
How long does a leather strap last on a Bulgari Octo 102581?
Longevity depends on material and usage. An artisanal alligator strap of quality, with vegetable tanning, guarantees 3-5 years of daily wear. Shell cordovan and vegetable-tanned calf offer similar performance, developing a patina that visually extends the strap's lifespan. The 18-month warranty offered by Casati Milano covers manufacturing defects.
