In a tribute to the 2014 Brazil World Cup, Bulgari turned its Octo Bi-Retro watch into a limited edition World Cup watch. The watch features the vibrant colors of Brazil and bold numbers that both watch and soccer enthusiasts would be proud to sport.
The watch adopts a black, white, blue, green and yellow color scheme, created with the meticulous and complex champlevé technique. The mighty watch has a 43mm steel case with ceramic and rhodium inserts, as well as a self-winding mechanism and a 45-hour power reserve, so you can pay attention to keeping score rather than an eye on the time.
There will only be 50 of the special edition World Cup watches created by Bulgari, with each extremely exclusive watch individually numbered.
