Bvlgari Diagono Automatic Wristwatch (Ref. AL 38 A)

This is a luxury BVLGARI Diagono Automatic watch, characterized by its industrial-chic design and iconic 'BVLGARI BVLGARI' double logo engraved into the bezel. The watch features a brushed stainless steel case (approximately 38mm) and an integrated bracelet composed of hinged metal links. The dial is a deep matte black, featuring luminescent baton hour markers with Arabic numerals at the 12 and 6 positions. A date aperture is visible at the 3 o'clock mark. The handset includes luminescent baton-style minutes and hours hands with a thin seconds hand. The crystal appears to be flat sapphire, sitting flush with the engraved bezel. The movement is indicated as 'AUTOMATIC' just above the 6 o'clock mark, signifying a mechanical self-winding caliber. The overall condition shows signs of moderate wear consistent with frequent use; there are visible surface scratches and 'flea bite' nicks on the bezel and bracelet links, specifically near the 8 and 9 o'clock bezel positions. The brushing on the metal remains largely intact, though softened at high-friction points. This specific style was a staple of the late 1990s and early 2000s, representing Bvlgari's foray into high-performance sport-luxury aesthetics. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise alignment of the bezel engraving and the articulated construction of the integrated bracelet.
