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 I fit a standard strap to the Bulgari Octo 103151?
No, the bracelet is integrated into the case. There are no lug attachments — a conventional strap won't fit. To change the strap, I build everything bespoke directly on your case, measuring the exact proportions at the bench.
How does the bespoke strap work for this watch?
Come to the atelier. <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> is by appointment only — no waiting list, just availability you need to book. I take measurements from your case, we shape the attachment by hand, no forcing. The result is a strap that slides on and off as though it were original.
Which leather would you recommend for the Bulgari Octo 103151?
Mississippi Alligator. This watch has clean, sporty geometry — alligator leather keeps that architectural tension. The rose gold and titanium demand elegant yet robust texture, and alligator ages with dignity, developing a patina that speaks of real wear.
How long does a well-made strap last?
With proper use, five, six years. It depends on how often you wear it and how you treat it — protect it from water, dust, constant friction. When it ages, it ages well: the leather breathes, darkens, tells the story of time at your wrist. When that moment comes, I rebuild it.
Why does the Bulgari Octo have an integrated bracelet?
It's a design choice. The octagonal case and the fluid bracelet must speak as one — an architectural sculpture. If the lugs were separate, you'd lose that continuity. Bulgari chose formal coherence over convenience. I respect that choice, and translate it into straps that honour that promise.
The next step
