Unveiling the New Titanio Series
Bulgari's latest announcement for Geneva Watch Days introduces the Titanio series, continuing the brand's tradition of material-focused timepieces. Following successful releases in aluminum and bronze, this new collection brings the strength and lightweight properties of titanium to the forefront, showcasing both a dual-time model and an automatic chronograph.
Defining Characteristics of the Titanio Collection
The new Titanio watches uphold Bulgari's established design principles while integrating grade 5 titanium for the case, bracelet articulation links, and buckle. The Chronograph measures 41mm in width and 12.35mm in thickness, featuring a sandblasted and satin-finished case. The GMT version is slightly more compact at 40mm wide and 9.7mm thick. Both models boast a water resistance of 100 meters and come standard with a black rubber strap, offering a titanium bracelet as an optional upgrade.
Aesthetic and Movement Details
Both Titanio watches feature a striking black DLC finish on the bezel, crown, and pushers, complemented by a matte black dial and grey galvanic treated hands. The Titanio Chronograph is powered by the Bulgari B381 automatic movement, derived from the Sellita SW300 with a Dubois-Dépraz module. This 4 Hz movement includes a date function at 4:30, a 50-hour power reserve, and can measure chronographs up to 12 hours.
Precision and Dual Time Functionality
The Titanio GMT is equipped with the Bulgari B192 automatic movement, based on the Sellita SW-330. It provides a 'caller-style' 24-hour jumping second time zone, operating at a 4 Hz frequency with a 42-hour power reserve. The second time zone is elegantly displayed on a 24-hour rehaut around the dial.
Value Proposition and Market Positioning
The Titanio GMT is priced at $4,750, and the Titanio Chronograph at $6,050. These prices position the titanium models between Bulgari's bronze and aluminum offerings. Despite movement choices that might not be the most aggressively priced in the market, the combination of Bulgari's brand reputation, distinctive design language, and the use of premium grade 5 titanium makes these watches a compelling addition, particularly within the 2026 watch landscape.

The Bulgari Titanio Chronograph and GMT models, with reference numbers 104299 and 104300 respectively, are crafted from Grade 5 titanium.
