At Baselworld, Bvlgari revealed a beautiful new chronograph–the Diagono Calibro 303. Bolder than the Bvlgari Diagono watches we already know, this model seems to have a little bit of Hublot influence, sprinkled with a tiny pinch of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus theme for good measure. The combination is very attractive, particularly when allied with the very detailed dial which clearly follows that of the handsome Bvlgari-Bvlgari XL watch.

The name of the Bvlgari Diagono Calibro 303 watch alludes to the designation of the movement. From the photos I have seen of it, the “Calibro 303″ appears to be based on the outstanding Frederic Piguet 1185, which is famed for being the worlds flattest self-winding chronograph movement with vertical clutch coupling and column-wheel. With this superb movement as the “motor”, the technical substance of this Bvlgari watch is well matched to the excellence of its finish and design.
