Design
- Case and Dial
- The watch features a 38mm stainless steel case paired with an integrated steel bracelet. The case design incorporates a unidirectional rotating bezel with distinct scalloped indentations and engraved numeral markers. The case profile includes protected chronograph pushers and a central crown positioned on the right side. The black dial utilizes a tri-compax layout for the chronograph registers. It is finished with luminous indices and large Arabic numerals at the 12 and 6 positions. Visible text on the dial identifies the brand, the automatic nature of the movement, its chronometer-certified status, and the water resistance rating of 200 meters.

- Condition and Provenance
- This specific unit is offered without original manufacturer packaging or documentation. The current state is described as authentically worn, with visible patina and wear throughout the steel surfaces. These marks are presented as indicators of the object's history of use rather than as significant damage. The piece is classified as a utilitarian example of Bulgari's design from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. The source describes the object's condition as functional, emphasizing its history as a tool watch that has been utilized by previous owners.
- Movement and Performance
- The timepiece is powered by an automatic movement of Swiss origin. The dial explicitly notes that the movement is chronometer-certified, implying a level of precision testing. The watch is constructed as a dive-capable tool, with a specified depth rating of 200 meters, which the source suggests bridges the gap between desk-use and professional underwater application. The mechanical system drives the integrated chronograph functions alongside standard timekeeping, housed within the steel exterior. The watch is noted to be fully functional despite evidence of past wear.
