Founded by brothers Alberto and Alessandro Morelli in 2017, Venizianico brings a uniquely Italian flair to their watches. Throughout their diverse collection of sport and dress watches, every facet of the brand is influenced and grounded by their pride in their home of Venice. 

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.

Underneath the engraving of the Nereide on the caseback is a Sellita SW200-1. A Swiss-made automatic movement, it features 26 jewels, hacking, hand winding, a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour, and a power reserve of 41-42 hours.
