FAQs

What does 'Finissimo' mean in the watch name?

'Finissimo' is Italian for 'very fine' or 'thinnest,' referring to the watch's exceptionally slim profile and the intricate, thin mechanical movement.

Is the black ceramic material durable?

Yes, ceramic is very hard and highly resistant to scratches, maintaining its appearance over time. However, it can be brittle and may chip or crack if subjected to strong impacts.

How do I maintain the 60-hour power reserve?

The automatic movement is powered by the motion of your wrist. For optimal performance, wear the watch for at least 8 hours a day. If the watch stops, manually wind it via the crown until resistance is felt.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

No, the watch has a water resistance of 30 meters, which is suitable for protection against accidental splashes and rain only. It is not designed for swimming, showering, or diving.

What is a microrotor?

A microrotor is a type of automatic winding rotor that is smaller and often integrated within the movement's plane, allowing for significantly thinner watch cases compared to traditional larger, oscillating rotors.

Does the ceramic bracelet require special care?

The ceramic bracelet should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the folding clasp operates smoothly; if it becomes stiff, it may require professional lubrication.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Manually wind the crown clockwise until resistance is felt. If the issue persists, the power reserve may be depleted; wear the watch for several hours. If it still stops, professional servicing may be required.

Difficulty setting the time/date

Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position. If resistance feels unusual or the crown does not operate smoothly, do not force it and seek professional assistance.

Visible scratches on ceramic

While highly scratch-resistant, deep impacts can cause marks. Minor scuffs may be less visible on the matte finish. Significant damage may require professional refinishing or component replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional thinness and lightness due to advanced materials and engineering.
Striking modern aesthetic with a monochromatic black ceramic finish.
Impressive 60-hour power reserve for convenience.
High level of finishing on both the case and the movement.
Unique status as the thinnest full ceramic automatic watch.

Cons

Limited water resistance (30 meters) restricts activities.
Ceramic, while scratch-resistant, can be brittle and prone to chipping if dropped.
The intricate nature of the ultra-thin movement may require specialized servicing.
Black ceramic can potentially show micro-scratches over time, though less visible than on polished metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The watch is set via the crown. Pull the crown out to the first position to adjust the date (if applicable and accessible on this model), and to the second position to set the time. Ensure the crown is pushed back in fully after setting to maintain water resistance.

Compatibility: This is a mechanical wristwatch and does not require compatibility with other electronic devices. Its functionality is self-contained.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the ceramic case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the ceramic finish.
Handling: While ceramic is scratch-resistant, it can be brittle. Avoid sharp impacts or dropping the watch.
Winding: If the watch stops, wind it manually by rotating the crown clockwise (usually about 30-40 turns) until you feel resistance. Then, wear it for at least 8 hours to fully power the automatic mechanism.
Servicing: It is recommended to have the watch serviced by an authorized Bvlgari service center every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance of the mechanical movement.
