Bulgari - Diagono Ultranero Chronograph
Intended for intensive daily use, geared towards efficiency yet without renouncing refinement and elegance, the three-counter Diagono chronographs are designed to accompany their owner to the highest levels of performance and precision. The name itself conveys a sense of destiny, since Diagono comes from the Ancient Greek root "agon", synonymous with competition.
The first Diagono watch presented by Bulgari a quarter-century ago was already intriguing with its case made of aluminium.
The deliberately contemporary design features a 42 mm round steel case with a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) surface treatment, appears in a deep black shade for these four new versions.
Each model takes on yellow, red, white or gold-toned colour accents to enhance readability. The chronograph sweep-seconds hand, the minute track and the subdial graduations are distinctly different on each of the timepieces, yet without perturbing the characteristically harmony and visual unity of the Diagono line. The Super-Luminova coating also enhances legibility of the measurement functions driven by steel pushers, as well as the date appearing in an aperture. The watches are water-resistant to 100m.
The four chronographs are powered by the same Calibre B130, a 37-jewel self-winding movement with a balance oscillating at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a 42-hour power reserve.
They are fitted with rubber straps reinforced by satin-brushed steel inserts and will be available as of spring 2014.
