Since they first played more than a hundred years ago, the All Blacks team has been guided by the power that stems from a sense of collective unity, an absolute and enduring value. The players are the custodians of a heritage whose spirit is scrupulously respected: joining the team is an honour and a responsibility. And each of its members adopts an unwritten code that places the team above the individual. The All Blacks have a duty to be a source of inspiration on the field naturally, as well as in their daily lives.

The centre of the smoked sapphire crystal features an historical silver fern leaf motif, which is the All Blacks emblem, along with the year 1905,  the year the famous All Blacks “Originals” team undertook their ground-breaking tour of North America and Europe.

The Octo All Blacks 100 Club watch is a concentrated blend of mechanical power matched by equally rugged good looks. Presented as a special edition, in a box evocatively shaped like a rugby ball, the timepiece retains all the characteristics that make the Octo watch truly unique. This veritable piece of contemporary design is inspired by Italian creative genius, the roots of which lie in the architectural perfection of antiquity and the innovative visions of Leonardo da Vinci.

Like top rugby players, the heart of power and high performance lies in the movement. That of the Octo All Blacks 100 Club derives its precision and excellence from the finest Swiss manufacturing traditions.

Developed and assembled by hand in the Swiss Jura, the 28-jewel mechanical self-winding BVL 193 calibre measures time with a precision of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) and guarantees a 50-hour power reserve, as well as driving a date indicator that appears in a 3 o’clock dial window.

This aperture as well as the polished and brushed black hour-marker might almost go unnoticed given the bold nature of the dial that affirms its personality by displaying a Maori mask, imprinted like a tattoo on the background, designed by Maori carver Tana Salzmann.

As emphasised by Mr. Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bulgari, the two names are synonymous with perfection, each in its own individual “playing field” and this new watchmaking collaboration is endowed with shared values: “The Bulgari Octo All Blacks watch embodies the common values shared by two excellent brands, both universally recognised as being synonymous with intense passion, commitment, teamwork, success and victories, each in their own realm. Design, performance and the sporting spirit are brilliantly expressed through this watch, issued in a special edition that is a perfect blend of technical sophistication and refined aesthetics.”
