Made to Measure

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.

FAQ

Can a strap be fitted to a Bulgari Octo 103370?

The Bulgari Octo 103370 does not accept standard straight-bar straps: the lug attachment is proprietary and an integral part of the case design. A strap is possible, but must be custom-built directly onto the watch by <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, where the attachment geometry is precisely measured and the strap constructed accordingly.

How does the custom strap process work for the 103370?

The process begins with a visit to the atelier at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, where the exact measurements of the proprietary attachment are recorded. You then select the leather and construction technique. The strap is subsequently handcrafted and mounted directly onto the watch, ensuring perfect adherence to the octagonal case geometry.

Which leather best suits the character of the Bulgari Octo 103370?

Vegetable-tanned leathers in natural hues, such as aged leather and Tuscan cowhide, resonate naturally with the rose gold and minimalist construction philosophy of the case. Alligator with structured texture creates a compelling dialogue with the sharp facets. Highly-treated or polished leathers are not recommended, as they would contradict the rational minimalism of the original design.

How long does a custom-built artisanal strap last?

A strap crafted by <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> with premium leather and traditional techniques has longevity exceeding that of industrial straps. Durability depends on usage, care, and the leather chosen, but the advantage of custom construction is that it can be regenerated and repaired by the atelier throughout its lifespan.

Why is the BVL 138 calibre significant in the 103370?

The BVL 138 is an in-house automatic movement developed by Bulgari, providing hours, minutes, and small seconds with certified regularity. The choice of a proprietary calibre reflects the brand's philosophy of controlling the entire manufacturing process, from case to movement, ensuring consistency and reliability over time.
