Scenario 1:
You are an adventurer, someone who vibrates according to the moment. Riding a motorcycle at over 100, freediving at over 100, diving at over 100, flying at over 100. In fact, you live at over 100, and every day, every hour, every minute, every second counts. So your watch counts, and it must be precise, reliable, robust and flexible.
A sporty watch, then, the new Diagono Scuba from Bulgari would fit your offbeat lifestyle to perfection, it’s equipped to:

Scenario 2:
You’re a cool person. People appreciate you for your relaxed attitude in all circumstances, because you communicate calm and serenity, making them feel good. You owe this quiet strength to a certain savoir vivre that you’ve developed quite naturally, and you’re one of those rare people who master letting go with class. As you know, people of your temperament and sense of aesthetics can’t be more elegant. So your watch has to be elegant, high-quality, practical, comfortable and discreet.
A jeweler’s watch, then, but a functional one, Bulgari’s new Diagono Scuba is designed to suit your peaceful self-assurance:

A glance at the watch face is all it takes. Suddenly, a world opens up. Your gaze glides over the watch, and in a fraction of a second, the city fades away in favor of the shoreline. The active urban reality fades away, replaced by happy memories of the seashore, longing for the deep. Few timepieces have such a powerful evocative dimension as Diagono Scuba, Bulgari’s sports watch in its nautical version.
Thanks to the Roman company’s dual heritage as a jeweler and watchmaker, functionality does not take precedence over style, even when it comes to watches. Of course, performance takes center stage. It’s precisely because Diagono Scuba succeeds in this equation that it never ceases to seduce aesthetes and lovers of aquatic pleasures alike.
Under the shirt, at the office, in town, at the controls of a two-wheeler or in the subway, it adopts the codes of urban life: modern, sophisticated, fast, relaxed. Racy, it combines with the formality of professional and social events. But, as for the man who wears it on his wrist, his favorite playground is water. Diagono Scuba is not just a diver’s watch, with all its water-resistance patents. It’s an elegant watch with contemporary Italian refinement for diving wear.
From Nantucket to Capri, from Portofino to Cape Cod or the distant shores of the Caribbean, Diagono Scuba has established itself in high society as the watch of connoisseurs and aesthetes. Not just another technical instrument. Nor as a mere brand accessory. Diagono Scuba belongs on the wrists of people who are sure of their taste and their choices, and who have nothing to prove.
