The Heritage
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.

Can a standard strap be fitted to the Bulgari Octo 103079?
No. The Bulgari Octo 103079 lug attachment does not follow industrial standard straight-bar specifications: it is an integral part of the case design. The solution is a bespoke strap, dimensioned directly on the watch by <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, where every parameter is measured and calibrated to the specific conformity of that case.
How does the bespoke strap work for this model?
The craftsman measures the lugs directly on the watch, recording depth, exit angle from the case and the necessary curvature. The strap is constructed according to these precise measurements, with selected leather and hand-finished construction. The result is an object dimensioned solely for that wrist and that specific watch, impossible to achieve with standard systems.
Which leather type suits the character of the Bulgari Octo 103079?
The titanium case dialogues naturally with vegetable-tanned leathers in fine grain, such as aged calf, box calf or cordovan. These leathers develop patina over time and maintain aesthetic restraint consistent with the geometric austerity of the model. Deep dark tones also provide visual equilibrium without competing with the watch's presence.
How long does a correctly crafted strap last?
A strap constructed through craftsmanship using superior quality leather and hand-stitching can last decades with ordinary maintenance. Longevity depends on leather quality, construction correctness and treatment over time. A Casati Milano strap is a durable investment, not a consumable item.
Why did Gérald Genta choose octagonal geometry for the Bulgari Octo?
The octagram represents visual equilibrium superior to conventional circularity: eight facets that dialogue create formal complexity without excess ornamentation. Genta intended to transform geometry into aesthetic language, where every angle of the case speaks to a precise and conscious design research.
