Great new products from the Italians Venezianico and the Americans Ocean Crawler

Novelties Venezianico, Ocean Crawler

Friends, hello everyone, you are on the Feeltime watch channel, my name is Stanislav, and today we will look at a couple of great new products from the Italian brand Venezianico and the Americans Ocean Crawler.  

These brands themselves usually make very unusual watches, but what I will show you today is another reason to be surprised.

I would like to start with the long-awaited Arsenale Meteorite .  

This model was first released in an edition of 400 in the spring of 2025 and sold out very quickly. I didn't even have time to order it from the store.  

The second batch was limited to 300 copies worldwide and was promised for the end of May, so I managed to reserve a few. Some of these models are already pleasing my customers who made pre-orders.  

The case of this model is the basic case of the Arsenale collection, which became a real hit in 2024. I have already shot more than one video about it, more than one version has arrived in my store, plus some options are available right now.  

The watch attracted attention because the guys designed it with a bracelet integrated into the case, and they did it very coolly both in terms of design and manufacturing. Moreover, the watch boasts a thin case of only 9.95 mm.  

But our model uses real fragments of an ancient meteorite that fell in Sweden in 1906 on the dial.  

And no model will have the same texture, because it is handmade, plus it is logical that there is simply no identical texture of stone.  

Of course, all this attracts attention and gives the watch a certain exclusivity.  

By the way, the readability remained at a class level. Very clear markup. Absolutely nothing superfluous.

When you make such an art dial, you have to be very careful and minimalistic so as not to ruin the idea. The Italians managed to do it.  

In terms of the case and bracelet, these are good old Arsenals. Excellent quality of finish in a combination of satin and mirror polishing.

I've said it many times before that many might shout that it's a parody of the Tissot PRX, but in a way, it made these watches more elegant and better in quality. That's why they exploded last year in a good way.  

The bracelet is generally TOP. Both the feel, the look, and the quality. Made at a very high level.

On the back cover is an engraving of the Arsenale military building, after which the collection is named, and which is an active museum in Venice.

The dimensions are as follows:

Diameter - 40 mm, lug to lug - 44 mm, thickness - 9.95 mm, weight - 141 grams

It's 18 cm on my hand. It fits perfectly.  

According to the specifications, we have 100 meters of water resistance - you can swim, but without immersion, which is not necessary. We have sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating and a Japanese automatic movement from Citizen Miyota 9039 on board.

Power reserve 42 hours, operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.  

Some may say that the watch is too expensive for such a mechanism, but it was very important to choose the mechanism to obtain such a small thickness.  

And this beauty costs 63,700 UAH today.  

Of course it's not cheap, but the limited edition and the meteorite dial have a big impact here. Because you can see in my store that the regular Arsenale models are still more affordable.  

You can purchase the watch using the link I'll leave in the description of this video. You can order the watch HERE .

It's a somewhat similar story with another new product from the Italians, Vemezianico Nereide Damasco.  

It is based on the Nereide collection. That is, in terms of the design of the case itself, there are no movements. Many people know this case and love it.  

But the dial is made of unique Damascus steel. This is steel that is obtained through a complex forging method and will always have this specific pattern.

Moreover, as in the previous model, this pattern will not be repeated.  

What can I tell you, it definitely attracts attention.  

It definitely looks like an element of an expensive watch. Because, honestly, I've never seen anything like it on a man's hand on the street.  

The dial frame itself is made in a classic style for the Nereide collection. The familiar shape of the hands and markers.  

You can unexpectedly find the date at the 3 o'clock mark, because usually such art dials do not include it, but it definitely looks harmonious.  

Plus bright Swiss Super Luminova.

The model's case is made of stainless steel. It is made beautifully. The quality of workmanship is top-notch.  

I like some details like the cross engraving on the head and the all-stainless steel bezel.  

Let's give it a spin.  

This is the maximum size of Nereide to date. Diameter - 42 mm, from lug to lug - 49 mm, thickness - 12 mm, Weight - 101

It fits my wrist very well, but I think it would look even better on a larger hand.  

The strap is made of genuine Italian leather. The quality is excellent. If necessary, you can also purchase a branded Canova or Sansovino bracelet. For all the details, please contact my personal Telegram, the link to which I will leave.  

We have 200 meters of water resistance. This is a diver's watch.  

Sapphire glass, and a Swiss automatic Sellita SW-200 is installed on board.

But not quite the basic package. Venezianico worked hard and made a custom rotor with Geneva waves. The rotor has a red gold electroplating finish.  

The standard rotors of this movement look and are made much simpler. It has a power reserve of 38 hours and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.  

Well done Italians, they know how to place accents.  

This watch costs 66,550 UAH today, and its price is also an order of magnitude higher than the standard Nereide models.  

And several very important factors that affect the price are the Damascus steel of the dial and the gold-plated rotor of the mechanism. By the way, this type of mechanism is rarely installed on watches cheaper than $1000 today. And it happens that it can be found in the basic configuration in watches that are 2 times more expensive.

Let's switch to the Americans Ocean Crawler. Let's add more masculinity and brutality to our review.  

Because these guys make really cool watches. And I always get a kick out of receiving them because it feels like they made them for you by hand.  

The first model from the Crawler One collection is called Dream Diver Cosmos.

And here too, the first thing that attracts attention is the dial, which is made like the starry sky of the universe.  

Stylish, beautiful. Readability at a height, as it should be, because this is a professional diver with some kind of cosmic water resistance of 600 meters. There is a helium valve to stabilize the pressure in the watch case.  

The markers and arrows are quite large, overlapping - which gives a good volume. Plus, Ocean Crawler always has a royal glow.  

The date, placed at 6 o'clock, is not annoying either. There is also an inscription that the watch was made in Rochester (USA).

The case is made of 316L stainless steel with a black DLC coating, which is comparable in strength to diamond. This means that such a case is much harder to scratch.  

The quality of workmanship at Ocean Crowler is always at a very high level.  

On the back cover there is a certain engraving of a fish, characteristics, and there is a serial number of this particular model. This is important, since we have a limited edition of only 100 copies in the world.  

Let's also turn the bezel. Very comfortable, confident, with expensive clicks.  

The case comes with a very durable Kevlar strap, plus you will always find some kind of additional strap in the Ocean Crawler watch package. In this case, it is a high-quality genuine leather strap.  

In general, the packaging of the watch is top-notch. Wooden box, thick booklets, metal warranty card. They pay attention to detail.  

The following are the conflicts

Diameter - 41 mm, From lug to lug - , Thickness - 14 mm, Weight -  

On my small hand, 18 cm. It fits perfectly in volume.  

The characteristics of this watch are incredible.

• Sapphire glass with a very large thickness of 3.5 mm.  
• 600 meters water resistance
• On board is a Swiss automatic Sellita SW200. And this watch is declared shockproof. That's really cool for a metal model.  

It currently costs 46,750 UAH, and to understand how inexpensive it is, you just need to understand what the Swiss offer for that kind of money in terms of quality, packaging, and exclusivity.  

Here you get expensive packaging, an additional strap and a top-quality watch, top-notch specifications, and a small limit.

And the last watch from our selection from Ocean Crawler is something special.  

Here we have the art dial that fans of the brand have fallen in love with. No kidding, this is not the first Ocean Crawler watch like this in my store, and the last ones with Piranha and Diver on the dial were taken less than a Sunday after they arrived.  

So, from time to time, the guys make such limits with an art drawing on an enamel ceramic coating. In this case, it's a battle between a diver and a giant octopus, which holds a beauty in its tentacles.

Thanks to this coating, the drawing looks very lively and voluminous. In life, you can just stick to it. And, as I said, the customers who took it were delighted.  

A total of 500 pieces were produced worldwide, and you can find this information on the back of the watch.  

The case is made of 316L stainless steel. The quality of workmanship is again at its best. It seems simple, but it is very well made and stylish.

A comfortable crown, a comfortable bezel, which, by the way, can be used as a minute marker thanks to its notches, because for obvious reasons, the dial was not cluttered.  

The clock is quite large.

Diameter - 44 mm, from eye to eye - 52 mm, Thickness - 14 mm, weight -  

But even on my small hand it fits well.  

And here we have an exotic belt made of genuine stingray leather. Ocean Crowler really knows how to surprise.  

We were also surprised by the fact that the set comes with a top-quality rubber strap. First of all, these brand straps always smell very nice. And the quality is top-notch. Plus, the clasp is a really grown-up one, which can be found on watches like Rado that are 2 times more expensive than this one. And this is just a bonus strap.  

And the characteristics, as always, are spot on.

• Shock resistance is declared. Extreme water resistance of 600 meters with a helium valve.  
• Sapphire glass of incredible thickness - 4.5 mm.
• On board is a Swiss automatic Sellita SW200.

All this beauty costs 56,700 UAH. The watch is made entirely in Rochester (USA). Sometimes I wonder how much it would cost if it were made by a famous brand in Switzerland.  

But fortunately, the Swiss don't do anything like that at this price point. That's why you buy these watches. Because they're real exclusives with super cool quality and presentation.

And in conclusion, I have nothing particularly to add.  

You saw it all yourself.  

4 in a sense exclusive watches. Both brands are constantly experimenting. And they do it very successfully. Sometimes it seems to me that now the Swiss are starting to steal ideas from microbrands, because they themselves are stuck copying their hits.

Which is not bad, but people want something new, and such small but very fundamental brands provide it.  

Therefore, if you want something different, if you want something very high-quality and exclusive, then these two brands will definitely please you.  

I am an official dealer of both Venezianico and Ocean Crawler in Ukraine. You can buy watches from me with a 2-year warranty.  

That's all, I hope it was useful to you, see you soon!
