Featured Watches From Venezianico
42mm divers with eye catching stone dials
Their dive watch, the Nereide (or “Sea Nymph”), is fittingly inspired by the Venetian-built submarine of the same name launched in 1913. This 42mm variant still features the 120-click bezel with tungsten insert, flat sapphire crystal, 200m of water resistance, and Venetian-inspired touches that define the Nereide collection. The three models, the Avventurina, Ametista, and Lapislazulli, stand out for their incredible dials. The Avventurina’s dial is created through the introduction of copper crystals in molten glass; the Ametista is crafted from a cut 0.4mm disk of amethyst; and the Lapislazzuli wears a lapis lazuli stone dial, thin veins of pyrite adding a vibrant gold accent. Each is paired with a matching Italian-made rubber strap.
A well made, well proportioned, 42mm diver
Their dive watch, the Nereide (or “Sea Nymph”), is fittingly inspired by the Venetian-built submarine of the same name launched in 1913. The 42mm Ceramica is one of the most traditional in the Nereide collection, featuring a pair of classic enamel dials in black and white with aquamarine accents. Both are paired with a black ceramic bezel and feature flat sapphire crystals. With 200m of water resistance, the sleek design is ready for more than topside duty. The Ceramica is fitted to a three-link stainless steel bracelet that effortlessly blends style and performance.
A 40mm Integrated Sports Watch Through The Eyes of Venezianico
The integrated bracelet steel sports watch — an icon of 1970s design — has been decidedly à la mode in recent years, thanks in no small part to the widespread acclaim of many reissued designs from the period. Venezianico has leaped into the fray with their Arsenale 40, a collection of three boldly patterned dials named after the ancient Venetian shipyard in contemporary 40mm steel cases. The three dial variants, in vibrant amethyst, deep blue, and stark grey, feature sharp Côtes de Genève finishing with applied baton markers and skeletonized hands.
39mm diver with eye catching stone dials
Their dive watch, the Nereide (or “Sea Nymph”), is fittingly inspired by the Venetian-built submarine of the same name launched in 1913. The Nereide features a 39mm stainless steel case with 200m of water resistance. Both variants featured here have a 120-click bezel with a tungsten insert and sapphire crystals, but the real stars are the dials: the Avventura Nera sports a rich aventurine dial, created through the introduction of copper crystals in molten glass, while the Tungsteno features a deep mother of pearl dial. Both are matched with a rugged stainless steel bracelet that perfectly blends the line between sport and elegance.
