The Bulgari Octo Solotempo is moderately sized at 41 mm in width and 10.6 mm in height. The watch is cased in diamond like carbon (DLC) treated stainless steel. Its slim size and black colour scheme gives the timepiece a stealthy feel, understated luxury at its best. As its caseback, a see-through sapphire caseback is used.
