The Bulgari Diagono Scuba-SD38S was originally introduced in 1994 as the 38mm stainless steel diving version of the existing Diagono watch line. It's distinctiveness comes thanks in part to a boldly serrated uni directional bezel, paired with 'Turned-Tube' lugs and concealed clasp steel bracelet.  All this aids the Diagono in achieving the fine balance between wearability and functionality.

This example has aged beautifully, the dial markers are a deep cream which pop against the black dial, the hands still have some lume life left but just. The watch has been recently serviced and is running well. The bracelet will fit up to a 18cm wrist.

This watch is from a great era in the Bulgari history of watch design, in our view, it still looks great, nearly thirty years on.
