COLLECTOR'S NOTE

The Aluminium collection debuted in the late 1990s and quickly became one of the most recognizable BVLGARI designs. Using aluminum and rubber instead of traditional steel was, at the time, a bold move that set a new direction for luxury sport watches. Today, the first generation of Aluminium models enjoys strong interest from collectors and fans of modern design.
