Technically talking the Satin Polished Metal model and its predecessor are nearly, however not completely, similar. The motion is similar, in fact; that is the ultra-thin Bulgari caliber BVL 138 Finissimo motion, which winds through a micro-rotor and is available in at a knife-slim 2.23mm (and which is 36.60mm in diameter). Regardless of its skinny profile, it manages an influence reserve of 60 hours (that is one respect during which considered one of its closest opponents, the AP caliber 2120, does present its age only a bit, because the latter motion, which debuted within the late 1960s, has a 40-hour energy reserve, albeit in a 28.4mm case). Apart from the case and bracelet ending, there are solely two variations between the present and new fashions. One is that the brand new mannequin could be very barely thicker – 5.25mm, vs. 5.15mm for the present watch. The opposite, maybe extra noticeable distinction, is in water resistance: The brand new watch has a depth ranking of 100 meters, which handily exceeds that of the 30-meter waterproof sandblasted metal mannequin.
