In all, I think people who actually end up putting on this watch design on their wrist will find it hard to remove - even if they were lukewarm about it, to begin with. Highlights include an extremely comfortable and meticulously detailed grade 5 titanium case, an eye-catching retrograde minutes/jumping hours automatic movement, and also the spirited-looking dial that combines excellent textures with impressive legibility. Even though the Arena Bi-Retro Sport watch is hardly a bargain given its nearly $15,000 price, it is an exceptionally well-executed timepiece that everyone I have shows it to really likes. Today, I go hands-on with the reference 103448 Gerald Genta Arena Bi-Retro Sport watch.Įven though the Arena Bi-Retro Sport watch was debuted a year ago, it is still not listed as being for sale on the BVLGARI website (as of now I do not believe there is a dedicated Gerald Genta brand website), but rather as “coming soon.” The pandemic has made already long lead times for wristwatch production longer, and wait times for novel products even after their release can clearly take (as is the case in this instance) over a year to reach the market. In that product debut article, I discuss the backstory of the Gerald Genta brand and some of the current context of excitement around Gerald Genta designs. Almost exactly one year ago (as of this writing), LVMH’s BVLGARI (which acquired the Gerald Genta brand and name in the year 2000) announced the debut of this particular titanium-cased version of the watch known as the Gerald Genta Arena Bi-Retro Sport.
The return of the Gerald Genta brand had been rumored for a while before the wristwatch community got word of its resurrection in 2019 with a platinum-cased version of this particular Arena Bi-Retro watch (with a simpler blue dial).
