Octo Velocissimo

 
The new Octo Velocissimo transcends pure function to acquire a broader dimension that’s charged with aesthetic and emotional overtones. The ultimate urban watch, Octo Velocissimo is made for strong personalities. This technically oriented thoroughbred creation also displays uncommon style. It wears the face of a chronograph made in pure classic watchmaking tradition. Three counters arranged in a “V” balance the watch face: minutes at 3 o’clock, hours at 6 o’clock, and seconds at 9 o’clock. The hours and minutes displays are supplemented by a central sweep seconds hand and a date window between 4 and 5 o’clock. All of this information is harmoniously positioned on an elegant hand-polished and lacquered black dial. But make no mistake: beneath the measuring-instrument look lies a complex object replete with elegance and power, in both the pink gold and steel versions. This remarkable architectural creation has a motor to match: the exceptional new Velocissimo calibre, an integrated high-frequency chronograph movement (36,000 vibrations/hour) equipped with a column wheel, silicon escapement, and automatic winding. It has a 50-hour power reserve. Octo Velocissimo Chronograph is offered in three versions: an 18K pink gold case on an alligator strap, and solid steel cases on an alligator strap or a steel bracelet
