Bvlgari Assioma Chronograph watch

The Bvlgari Assioma Chronograph watch is a luxurious chronograph timepiece of aesthetic distinction; in each detail, it displays the ability of Bvlgari to combine classic watchmaking specialities with the flare of expressive, exciting design. The intricate case of the Bvlgari Assioma watch, with its complex blend of rectangular, arched, and tonneau forms, takes considerable care to shape and finish, a challenge relished by the skilled craftsmen at Bvlgari, who have long played a great role in defining this famous House. Details such as the screwed springbars, the angled chronograph pushers, and the "Bvlgari-Bvlgari" bezel all lend their charm to the overall success of this striking design, which is a true statement, at an impressive 48mm in diameter.

Looks would count for little without a movement of substance, and in this area the Bvlgari Assioma Chronograph watch delivers. The watch is animated by an excellent Swiss selfwinding movement, which has been carefully adjusted and refined by the Bvlgari watchmakers. This movement supports a chronograph complication with a 12-hour and 30-minute totalizer, as well as subsidiary seconds, and a rapidly adjustable date display. The balance wheel of this movement beats at a speed of 28,800 vibrations per hour, which means that the chronograph is accurate to 1/8 of a second; this frequency is also ideal for timekeeping precision and rate stability overall. It has a power-reserve of 36 hours, when fully wound.

The Bvlgari Assioma Chronograph watch is offered in a choice of stainless steel, or 18K yellow gold. The stainless steel Assioma Chronograph watch is defined by an extremely appealing blue soleil dial with contrasting rhodium-plated hour markers and hands; this version is presented on either a fully-remborded alligator strap, or a fine stainless steel bracelet with contrasting brushed and polished finishes. In warm 18K yellow gold, the Assioma Chronograph watch has a truly stately presence, one that is complemented by a highly appealing champagne dial with gold hour markers and hands, as well as an cognac-colored alligator strap with a gold deployant clasp.
