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 you fit a leather strap to the Bulgari Octo 103709?
The Octo 103709 features an integrated lug system that doesn't follow standard quick-change bars. A standard strap won't fit. However, you can commission a bespoke leather strap tailored specifically to your watch: <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> measures your case's precise geometry and builds a strap that integrates perfectly into the Octo's octagonal architecture.
How is the custom strap made for this watch model?
Atelier Casati Milano examines your watch, measures the exact attachment angle, lug depth, and the octagonal case proportions. Based on these measurements, a leather strap is handcrafted to respond perfectly to the Octo's geometry, becoming a natural extension of the watch itself. It's bespoke tailoring, not mass production.
What leather finish suits the Bulgari Octo 103709 best?
Smooth-grain leathers like English calf or Japanese smooth leather emphasise the geometric planes of the case. For colour, black, deep brown, slate grey, or dark tobacco harmonise with the watch's titanium. Avoid light or glossy leathers: the Octo thrives on tonal restraint and visual simplicity.
How long does a well-made strap from Casati Milano last?
A strap built with traditional craftsmanship and quality leather lasts five to ten years depending on wear and care. The leather ages naturally, developing a patina that enriches the piece over time. It's not disposable: it's an object that accompanies your Bulgari Octo through its life, just as the watch itself does.
What distinguishes the Octo 103709 from other Bulgari watches in the same collection?
The 2022 Octo 103709 represents the fully mature expression of a project that began in 2012. In titanium, with the Bulgari BVL 138 calibre, it embodies the balance between bold octagonal geometry and material lightness. It's not a variation—it's the conscious outcome of a decade of formal evolution.
