Gerald Genta Octo Bi-retro Men’s Watch

Posted in Luxury Watches on September 20, 2010

One of the most appealing types of luxury watches for any man to find is the Octo Bi-retro watch from Gerald Genta. This is a luxury watch that is famous for its unique octagon design. The case works with an octagon dial to create a unique appearance that makes this watch like no other. The things that work on the dial will also make this like nothing else too.

The Octo Bi-retro features a dial that works with two different colors. One will be the main color and the secondary will be on a small octagon in the middle of the dial. The colors will vary by each model. Black and red can work but white and black or black and white can be used as well.

The hands on the watch are ones that work in a unique manner. The hands work with silver tones and are used to useful ways. The minute hand works on a 180-degree angle with the minute numbers all being located on the top of the dial. A subdial is used with the hour being displayed in a spot that is similar to how a calendar dial would work on a watch like this. A second subdial with the specific calendar date is also used here.

18k white gold is used on the crown and bezel of the watch. This is a white type of gold material that will create the finest sheen of all. An onyx crown will work to blend in with the crown.

The bracelet, which can handle a wrist of up to eight inches in size, is an alligator strap bracelet. This is leather that is made from actual alligator skin, thus ensuring that the watch will be durable and easy to handle in a number of cases.

Although the watch works with a number of different types of designs the value of this watch is consistent throughout all of its many builds. The watch can be found for about forty thousand dollars in any type of style that it can work with. A few watches of this type have been found through a few retailers for as little as twenty-five thousand dollars. The value will vary according to the retailer that one consults and not for the style of the watch that is used in this line.
