What We Know
On the quieter side of Bulgari’s releases for Geneva Watch Days this year, we have the titanium expression of the brand’s expanding range of material-based models that follow elements of the design language of the Diagono. Following the models in aluminum and last year’s release of the Bronzo GMT and Chronograph, we now have the Bulgari Titanio, which offers both a dual-time model and an automatic chronograph.
The pair follows the established Bulgari format closely, modifying the recipe only for the use of grade 5 in this case, the bracelet articulation links, and the buckle. The Titanio Chronograph is 41mm wide with a sandblasted and satin-finished case that is 12.35mm thick. The Titanio GMT follows the same format, but with a 40mm case that is 9.7mm thick. Water resistance is 100 meters for both, and both come with a black rubber strap with titanium links and buckle. A titanium bracelet is an available option, but no pricing details are offered.
The bezel, crown, and pushers are rendered in a black DLC finish, and both models feature a matte black dial with grey galvanic treatments on the hands. The Titanio Chronograph is powered by the Bulgari B381 automatic, which is based on the Sellita SW300 with a Dubois-Dépraz module; it is a 4 Hz movement with a date at 4:30, a 50-hour power reserve, and a maximum chronograph measure of 12 hours.
For the Titanio GMT, Bulgari employs the B192 automatic, which is based on the Sellita SW-330 and offers “caller-style” 24-hour jumping for the second time zone, along with a 4 Hz rate and a 42-hour power reserve. The second time zone is coordinated to a 24-hour rehaut encircling the dial.
Pricing starts at $4,750 for the Titanio GMT and $6,050 for the Titanio Chronograph. You can compare that against the Bronzo at $5,050 and $6,350, respectively. Or the Aluminum version at $4,150 and $5,450, respectively.
What We Think
That pricing slots the Titanio siblings between the Bronze and the Aluminum, and to my eyes they are the most appealing models in the current range for what Bulgari is, perhaps confusingly, calling Bulgari Aluminum Watches (seemingly regardless of what the model is actually made of). Naming aside, as a fan of the long-discontinued Diagono (I wonder why), I have a soft spot for this design language and think that both the Chronograph and the GMT look great in grey/black.
While the movement options don’t mark the most aggressive value on the market, for the brand name, the design, and the use of grade 5 titanium, I don’t think the pricing is wildly out of line in the 2026 landscape (you can see some competition outlined towards the end of this story covering the Tudor Black Bay Chrono 39).
I’ve had my eye on the Aluminum line since it relaunched a few years ago, and the Titanio models seem a good addition to the growing herd of other materials carrying the design.
