Watches often transcend their utilitarian purpose to become cultural icons, woven into the fabric of our collective consciousness. While some timepieces, like the Speedmasters and Submariners, have achieved iconic status, others, such as the Bulgari Bulgari, carve out a distinct place in horological history.

The Bulgari Bulgari watch traces its origins back to the vibrant era of the 1970s, embodying a unique Italian heritage and design ethos. Launched in 1977, the same year as Star Wars, the watch drew inspiration from ancient Roman coins, evident in its distinctive bezel adorned with repeated Bulgari inscriptions. Its round case and minimalist dial design reflected a fusion of classic elements with contemporary sensibilities, reminiscent of the fashion world’s aesthetic.

Throughout the 1980s, the Bulgari Bulgari gained popularity, epitomized by cultural figures like George Michael, who famously sported the watch on its signature brown leather strap. Decades later, Bulgari has chosen to commemorate the iconic timepiece with a modern revival, unveiled at LVMH Watch Week in Miami.

The new Bulgari Bulgari retains the essence of its predecessor while introducing contemporary updates. Available in a 38mm case size, reminiscent of classic proportions, the watch features an automatic movement, the BVL 191 Automatic, offering 42 hours of power reserve. Its yellow gold case, water-resistant up to 50m, exudes timeless elegance, while the black dial with minimalistic markings evokes a nostalgic charm.

A notable feature of the revival is the Hodinkee-exclusive option, featuring a brown leather strap reminiscent of its 1970s and 1980s counterparts. This edition pays homage to the watch’s heritage, adding a touch of exclusivity to the collection.

While the Bulgari Bulgari may not boast earth-shattering innovations, its revival exemplifies a thoughtful reinterpretation of a classic design. Like the enduring appeal of the Omega Speedmaster and Zenith’s vintage models, the new Bulgari Bulgari resonates with enthusiasts seeking timeless style and historical significance.

As the watch industry embraces a younger audience, models like the Bulgari Bulgari offer a bridge between heritage and modernity, appealing to a diverse range of enthusiasts. With its accessible design and rich heritage, the Bulgari Bulgari continues to captivate watch aficionados, bridging the past and the present with elegance and style.
