Introducing the Bulgari Aluminum GMT
The Low-Down
The Bulgari Aluminum, launched in August of 2020, finds its roots in a 1998 timepiece, which within the realms of watchmaking introduced for the first time, the combination of an aluminum case on a rubber strap. So desirable was the watch and its success that Bulgari once decded to even dress up a Boeing 747 with said watch as part of a publicity campaign.
The initial Bulgari Aluminum launched in 2020 included a time and date as well as a chronograph variation. Both of which had 40mm cases — of course — in aluminum, titanium casebacks, fitted on rubber bracelets with aluminum links and aluminum ardillon buckle. As 2021 unfolded, our realities clearly had different intentions with how soon we would be able to travel again. But the hour is at hand when it does seem like we can consider leaving our home countries in search of a new horizons.
IMHO
The Bulgari Aluminum GMT is an apt addition to the watch family given this jet set mindset that the Aluminum is meant to project. Rendered with a blue dial and rubber rubber bezel, the watch features a 24-hour scale divided into red, for the daylight hours and blue for the night hours. Local time and date is, of course, indicated using the primary hour and minute hands along with the date window. Home time is indicated using the red-arrow tipped GMT hand against the 24-hour scale. All indications are said to be set using the crown.
