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 leather strap be mounted on a Bulgari Octo 103569?
The Bulgari Octo 103569 features an integrated proprietary lug system: a standard straight-bar strap is not compatible with the case geometry. However, a bespoke strap can be constructed directly for your watch by <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>. The atelier performs a direct measurement of the case and produces a unique piece functionally coherent with Gérald Genta's original design.
How does the custom strap construction process work for this model?
<a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> begins with a consultation and direct measurement of your watch, precisely assessing the integrated lugs and case configuration. Next, preferences for leather and finishing are discussed. The strap is then built specifically to accommodate the Bulgari Octo 103569's proportions, ensuring a result that is both artisanal and built to last.
Which leather is most suitable for the Bulgari Octo 103569?
The Bulgari Octo 103569's severe and geometric character demands leathers that reflect this restraint: vegetable-tanned leather with pronounced texture, or neutral hides in deep tones (black, dark brown). The Octo communicates through form, not decoration; the strap should be an elegant supporting player, allowing the titanium case to command visual attention.
How long does a strap made by Casati Milano last?
A strap crafted by hand by <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> using quality leather and traditional techniques lasts for years, developing natural patina over time. Longevity depends on the leather chosen and daily wear, but bespoke construction ensures repairability and long-term maintenance, making the strap a lifelong companion to your watch.
Why is the 2021 titanium Bulgari Octo 103569 a particularly distinctive timepiece?
The in-house BVL 138 automatic movement represents Bulgari's manufacturing prowess and technical refinement. Titanium delivers both lightness and durability, while Gérald Genta's octagonal geometry creates a radically modern visual language. This 103569 is a watch that refuses understatement, perfect for those who appreciate architecture in horological design.
