In addition to the watch’s features specifically designed for the modern traveler, this special edition watch is presented in the same iconic colors of the legendary ship through its white, yellow, and black dial. At the same time, it sports the same sleek design combination in the aluminum case, bracelet, and black rubber bezel. The Bulgari Aluminum Amerigo Vespucci Special Edition watch is fitted with a mechanical manufacture movement, B192 calibre, 40mm aluminum case, HMSD and GMT, black rubber bezel with BVLGARI engraving, and automatic winding. Here, we will take a closer look at the Bulgari Aluminum GMT Amerigo Vespucci Special Edition Watch.

The first launch of the Bulgari Aluminum GMT watches back in 1998 created a stir in the watch manufacturing industry. This was attributed to the watch’s unusual combination of lightweight aluminum and a black rubber bezel, resulting in an eccentric yet exceptionally attractive sports timepiece. In 2020, Bulgari decided to release the highly anticipated comeback of the Amerigo Vespucci watch with automatic movements and increased water resistance of 100 meters available in all chronograph, GMT, and time-and-date models. One of the most notable features of this new Bulgari Aluminum GMT watch is the thick black rubber bezel that is inscribed with BVLGARI. Like the namesake’s black hull, the rubber bezel of the GMT Amerigo Vespucci is adorned in black to match the watch’s black rubber strap. The dial is decorated with bright yellow and black details and white 24-hour flange numerals in a central yellow arrow-head hand-coated with lime. The sleek detailing on the dial represents the black railings and golden trimmings of the legendary vessel, the Amerigo Vespucci. Designed with user-friendliness in mind, the Bulgari Aluminum GMT Amerigo Vespucci watch is an efficient timepiece that offers home and local time at a glance. The sealed titanium caseback is engraved with “Nave Scuola Amerigo Vespucci.” The BVL caliber 192 automatic movements are hidden beneath, which allows the GMT hand to be adjusted in one-hour intervals. It delivers an impressive power reserve of 50 hours and beats at a frequency of 28,800vph. Like the previous Aluminum GMT model, the Aluminum GMT Amerigo Vespucci model shares impressive features like a 40mm aluminum case with a height of 9.70mm. Other features include; a DLC-coated titanium crown, a caseback engraved with the signature Amerigo Vespucci’s logo, a black rubber bracelet, and a black inner dial.

The dial center of the GMT Amerigo Vespucci watch is adorned with bold black and white indications designed to mimic the vessel- Amerigo Vespucci’s black hull with white strips. There are large Arabic numerals at the 6 and 12 o’clock and long white hour markers, all coated with Super-LumiNova. This ensures you can make accurate watch readings even in poorly illuminated conditions. The missing hour marker at 3 o’clock is replaced with a rectangular date window with black numerals and white background. This special edition timepiece comes with an aluminum case that is about 40 percent lighter than titanium and 75 percent lighter than steel. The case of Amerigo Vespucci watch has an overall weight of just 68.60 grams. The caseback design is quite a bit more vocal about the priceless Italian inspiration, having three different languages engraved on the back, i.e., Limited Edition Of 1000 in English, “Non chi cominicia ma quell che persevere,” in Italian; which means “Not he who begins, but he who perseveres” and Fabrique en Suisse in French. The hands and hour markers are lumed with Super-LumiNova, and the titanium flange rims are presented in black and gold. Other yellow-colored details in the Bulgari Aluminum GMT watch include the tip, minute track, and the circular counterweight of the central second’s hand. Another exceptional detail that references the legendary Amerigo Vespucci ship is the Italian flag placed at the 6 o’clock mark.
