Bulgari Bronzo GMT & Bronzo Chronograph

With Bvlgari Bronzo, bronze brings its unique patina to the Bvlgari Aluminium legend. The singular sheen of this timeless alloy speaks to the organic beauty of time. A bold new statement from Bvlgari, for an iconic design that keeps breaking new ground.

  • The dialogue between materials and design continues – with the first-ever use of bronze in the Bvlgari Aluminium collection collection.
  • Developed with Bvlgari's watchmaking savoir faire, this new interpretation combines iconic design with a creative approach to materials.
  • The patina of bronze, a surface alteration long prized by collectors, tells a story that is as unique as it is ever-changing.

Bvlgari Bvlgari: fourteen engraved letters circling the bezel, marking one of the most forward-thinking watches of its time. Introduced in 1975, its daring elegance inspired the Bvlgari Aluminium in 1998 – a design that was reintroduced in 2020 with an automatic mechanical movement. Alongside the graphic clarity and sport-chic spirit that have defined it from the outset, the watch is known for its pairing of unexpected materials: aluminium and rubber. A deliberate redefinition of luxury codes.

In 2025, Bvlgari brings to Bvlgari Aluminium the distinctive allure of bronze – an alloy with echoes of Antiquity. As with the original, this metal too reflects the passage of time. Bvlgari Bronzo is made to be worn and lived with. Its surface transforms gradually – evolving with each passing day, in step with the rhythm of the wearer’s life. 

The essence of the Bvlgari Bvlgari lies in the alloy of materials. Initially designed in aluminum and rubber, the model here explores bronze, an association of historical significance in watchmaking, rarely used by Bvlgari. This material is not only resistant but, above all, alive. Over time, its patina will evolve, making each watch unique and personal. Its raw appearance, both masculine and elegant, as well as the exceptional work on the metal, already give it an iconic aura.”, said Jonathan Brinbaum, Managing Director of Bvlgari Watches.

Two powerful, distinctive takes on the watch emerge from this alliance of materials: Bvlgari Bronzo GMT and Bvlgari Bronzo Chronograph. Two complications, two temperaments. The GMT for those who travel. The chronograph for those drawn to precision and pace. Both steeped in Italian flair, rich heritage, and watchmaking savoir-faire.

Bvlgari Bronzo GMT: An Invitation to Travel

The Bvlgari Bronzo GMT offers a distinctive, travel-ready interpretation of the dual-time complication. The deep black rubber bezel contrasts with the warm tone of the bronze case, while the black dial is punctuated by rose gold-plated, sandblasted hands for a sharper silhouette. At its centre, the lacquered 24-hour GMT disc in black offers a clear and intuitive reading of the second time zone. The case’s sandblasted surfaces emphasise both texture and technical precision, while the bracelet continues the dialogue between contrasting materials.

Measuring 40 mm in diameter, the Bvlgari Bronzo GMT is powered by the automatic calibre B192, offering a 50-hour power reserve. A watch designed for travel – its patina evolves with every journey.

Bvlgari Bronzo Chronograph: The Precision of Style

A noble, living metal, bronze gives the Bvlgari Bronzo Chronograph a rare presence, both visually and through its texture. The carefully balanced contrast between sandblasted metal and deep black rubber carries the strength and character of a design that stands the test of time. The warm tones of the alloy play off the matte black dial in a bold graphic composition, elevated by azuré counters, a tachymeter scale, and rose gold hands.

Within the 41 mm sandblasted bronze case beats the automatic calibre B381 with a 42-hour power reserve.

Bvlgari Bronzo gives the Bvlgari Aluminium icon a fresh aesthetic expression. These are new faces for a watch defined by its bold contrasts and instantly recognisable silhouette. A watch for those who bring style to motion, discerning collectors, and those passionate about distinctive design.
