BVLGARI ambitiously presented its new generation Aluminum watch, reviving the classic appeal of the brand's first generation Aluminum watch from 1998. This series transcends boundaries of gender, age, fashion, era, social image and personal style by adopting an inclusive design language. Bulgari has innovatively combined groundbreaking aluminum and rubber materials; This unexpected combination of materials embodies a unique creative idea and reveals Bulgari's strong belief in the craft of brand watchmaking. The diameter of the Bulgari Aluminum watch is 40 mm; With its cool appearance, it reflects an elegant, mature and energetic modern style. Suitable for both men and women, this watch fully showcases Bulgari's Italian sporty spirit.

Is the BV Factory Bulgari 103539 STEVE AOKI collaboration model obvious at first glance compared to the original? Is the quality good?

The words "BVLGARI BVLGARI" are engraved on the black rubber surface; The 40 mm diameter case is made of aluminum and titanium, the glass is also sapphire glass and has a Mohs hardness of over 9. This watch is made of titanium-aluminum alloy; The material is quite original and rare. The titanium component helps increase the rigidity of the case, while the aluminum component gives the case a lighter feel.

Both movements are processed on the same basic mechanism and are identical in terms of performance. The date numbers are also the same. It is engraved with a beautiful fish scale pattern, which adds a higher-end atmosphere to the whole mechanism. The original watch carries the brand's own B77 automatic winding mechanical movement; BVF also developed a B77 movement specifically for this model. If it wasn't for the "BVLGARI" inscription on the original movement, many people would think BVF's movement was original; Because the original mechanism was a little too sloppy in terms of workmanship, and even the fish scale pattern was abandoned.

In terms of thickness, the dial surface of BVF is slightly thicker than the original; The material is solid and gold plated, giving it an eye-catching appearance.

This is the STEVE AOKI collaboration model; Therefore, its biggest feature is where it differs from the normal version, namely the STEVE AOKI logo engraved on the back of the case. The case back is also made of titanium and its matte texture is just right!

Made from the mold of the original; From thickness to width, from texture to craftsmanship, everything is exactly the same. The BVF case can be exchanged with the original without any problems, its dimensions completely match. This watch is made of titanium-aluminum alloy; The material is quite original and rare. The titanium component helps increase the rigidity of the case, while the aluminum component gives the case a lighter feel.

The strap uses the snake-shaped "articulated" structure that Bulgari loves so much and is quite unique. When combined with quality rubber material and titanium, the hand feeling becomes thin and light. In terms of appearance and function, BVF's strap is the same as the original and can be used by swapping it with the original. Friends with a budget can also look at the Swiss movement version: "Bulgari men's watch with Swiss SW300 movement".

Both use imported Superluminova lume coating, and the lume effect is equally impressive. BVF's plating workmanship looks finer than the original; It was applied wherever it was needed, without fail. Compared to this, the original's lume coating seems a bit "overdone". Bulgari's quality control seems to be pretty relaxed. In the dark, the Steve Aoki figure on the dial is very visible; Party lovers will be the brightest face on the dance floor when they wear this.

Bulgari continues to expand its area of cooperation. This time, they teamed up with American-Japanese origin "electronic music enthusiast" Steve Aoki and designed a special Aluminum watch. In appearance, at first glance, it is quite similar to the regular Aluminum version: black rubber bezel, black rubber strap, "BVLGARI. BVLGARI" inscription on the bezel, all the same. Additionally, there are no particularly noticeable changes in elements such as the hour markers, hour and minute hands, or even the cream-white dial.

Steve Aoki's special logo pattern is engraved on the center of the dial; Although the change is not major, it instantly gives the watch a distinct personality.

The case back of the Aluminum Steve Aoki special edition is DLC coated titanium. Its difference from the normal version is that Steve Aoki's logo is engraved on the case back surface to emphasize the collaboration theme. The case back, which actually looks modest and simple, has also gained a free and loose character with the addition of the famous DJ's logo. The watch carries the B77 automatic movement; It offers 42 hours of power reserve and 100 meters of water resistance. These are the same as the regular version; Although it is not particularly dazzling, in terms of usefulness and wearing comfort provided by the lightweight aluminum material, this watch is more than enough to meet the needs of most users.

However, when you look closely at the dial of the watch, you can see that the face symbol in Steve Aoki's special logo appears. The interesting thing is that this time Bulgari applied Super-LumiNova lume material to the entire dial; Thus, not only is the glow effect of the watch wider and clearer in the dark, but Steve Aoki's logo can also be seen more clearly. It is as if the clock changes personality when it gets dark; It makes you feel the magic of Steve Aoki's music as if you entered a nightclub full of colorful lights.

The box can be purchased separately.
