Standing out from the Italian watchmakers other models is the BVLGARI Diagono wristwatch. The firm describes it this way: "Combining distinctive style, generously balanced proportions and cutting-edge technology, the Diagono Collection uses cutting-edge research to push the limits of the functional demands imposed upon it."

Today's offering showcases this distinctive mens aluminum Diagono watch with rubber bezel. The aluminum and rubber make the watch unusually lightweight for an automatic watch. It's a great sporty and trendy watch for those who don't like the heavy behemoths.

Bvlgari discusses the watch this way: "From the first-generation models launched in 1998, the Bvlgari Aluminium watch has redefined what a luxury sport watch can be. Made from completely unexpected materials, today's iconic timepiece flaunts the same pioneering allure of the original watch, speaking a universal language that goes far beyond gender, age, trends and eras. Simple yet striking, Bvlgari Aluminium keeps approaching the watchmaking world with a boldness and strength that feels refreshing and incredibly modern.

Bvlgari Aluminium watch with mechanical manufacture movement, automatic winding, 40 mm aluminum and titanium case, black rubber bezel with BVLGARI BVLGARI engraving, silver dial, date opening and black rubber bracelet. Water-resistant up to 100 meters."

It is in honest original condition with original rubber strap and buckle. It has some pitting on the underside not visible while its being worn. On the wrist the watch itself presents as a 9.2 out of 10.

Any needed servicing has been performed by a Master Watchmaker. It is functioning very well. We have timed it in five positions - it continues to keep time nearly on par with a new Bvlgari watch in all chronometer testing positions.

This is one generation older than the newest generation. The newest iteration of this watch still looks very similar to this one. This is an opportunity to own a Certified Pre-Owned automatic Diagono chrono for a fraction of the price of the new.

Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.
