SHADE OF GREEN A flying tourbillon

Angelus continues to explore the endless possibilities of its diving models. U53 is plunged into a sportsmanlike and contemporary shade of green. Its design and watchmaking vision can only be equalled by its technical features and high-level finishes – remarkable for a timepiece meant for diving in deep water.

A unique shade of green

From the vast palette of greens, Angelus has chosen a khaki shade.

This colour is also found on the U53s rotating flange, strap and hands – a bold statement for a sports watch which also works effortlessly in more formal settings, offering a casual, chic look.

A diver unlike any other

U53 meets all the criteria for watches intended for underwater use. Its case is water-resistant to 300 metres. Its 60 minute-graduated rotating flange only turns anticlockwise. Its hands and indices are luminescent. It is equipped with a helium valve, to allow saturation diving.

It is also resistant to magnetic fields and scratching: indeed, U53 is made entirely of grade 5 titanium, a light, comfortable metal which is very well tolerated by the skin even in high moisture conditions yet is hard enough to withstand most scratches.

Special case

What makes this watch’s 46 mm case stand out is its functions. At 9 o’clock, the helium valve. At 2 o’clock, the screw-down crown, which controls the rotating flange. A second screw-down crown located at 4 o’clock allows for winding and setting the time.

Above this ensemble the bezel, with its powerful design, an Angelus signature. Its deep indents, in a distinctive shark fin design, immediately draw the eye; the motif is repeated on the flange, also in green and graduated with Arabic numerals.

Distinctive movement

Angelus U53 also stands out among classic types of diver by showcasing its movement in spectacular fashion. The Angelus A-300 is a skeleton calibre characterised by its large bridges. By their openwork in the centre, which specifically evokes the design of Angelus’ calibres.

By its one-minute flying tourbillon, with its contemporary technicity, and by the slightly asymmetric placement of all its vital components: the barrel at 1 o’clock, winding at 4 o’clock, tourbillon at 6.30, small seconds at 9.30.

These unusual locations are dictated by the design of the U53. This diver is being issued in a limited edition of 25 pieces, mounted on a rubber strap and complimentary hand-stitched NATO strap.

FLIGHT OF THE BUTTERFLY

Octo Roma Central Tourbillon Papillon offers an original reading of time that is unique in the field of horological complications.

The flight of a lepidopteran can cause a flutter. While complex in terms of its construction, the new Octo Roma Central Tourbillon Papillon offers infinite simplicity in the reading of the hours and minutes.

A metaphor inspired by the flight of the butterfly and unique in the world of Haute Horlogerie, this mechanism carries two independent retractable diamond-shaped hands positioned on a supporting disc. Each runs in turn along a 180-degree semi-circular minute track.

While the jumping hour appears in the window located at 12 o’clock, the minutes are indicated successively by each of the two hands.

The first is positioned on the segment and thus signals the progression of the minutes, while the other remains in a retracted position throughout the path of the disc carrying them.

When the first hand reaches the 55th minute on the display segment, the other hand will gradually make a quarter turn to take a position parallel to the first on the 00-minute indication.

The first hand will then move to the retracted position for the next 55 minutes.

Bulgari goes even further by associating the most prestigious of horological complications with its Papillon patent.

The new Octo Roma Central Tourbillon Papillon features this high-precision mechanism integrated into the heart of the watch with a 24-hour jumping hour display by means of a disc on a ceramic ball bearing via an aperture located at 12 o’clock.

At the end of the 60 minutes indicated by one of the “butterfly” hands, the disc jumps to display the new time in the aperture.

The advantage of the Papillon device is that it consumes less energy than the traditional minutes display, which has a positive impact on the power reserve.

The sophisticated workings of this model are driven by a hand-wound mechanical Manufacture movement, Calibre BVL 332, entirely designed and assembled in the finest tradition by the master-watchmakers of the Manufacture Bulgari.

It features a 60-hour power-reserve indication on the back of the rose gold Octo Roma case.
