Italian watch Venezianico Nereide
Venezianico Nereide watch
Friends, hello everyone. You are on the channel about Feeltime watches, Stanislav is with you as always, and today we will look at the Italian Venezianico watches.
During the review I will have one of the most expensive models of the brand called Nereide. The Nereide is a submarine that was in service in Italy during the First World War.
We will later see the engraving of this vessel on the back cover of this watch. In general, this is symbolic, since the water protection of our beauty is 200 meters. The watch can be used for scuba diving. Although their appearance does not encourage this.
You sometimes ask: “Why do you sell almost only dive watches? Why is this? This is simply the most popular style today. And just because you buy a dive watch doesn’t mean you need to dive in it, since in fact 90% of dive watches today are so-called “everyday divers” or “desk divers”.
That is, the characteristics are diving, and the watch can be worn under a suit. So it is with this model.
I won't touch on packaging today. If you remember, this is a beautiful white gift box with equally beautifully designed documentation and a map of Venice with its attractions, after which the Venezianico brand is named.
Well, the Italians know how to present their product beautifully. This cannot be taken away from them.
You know, despite the fact that the watch does not seem to stand out in any way, I realized that I can absolutely separate it from other brands.
I want to give Venezianico credit for the fact that in the absence of flashy elements, they were able to make a watch that has its own style and personality.
And I see such individuality through the special shapes of the cases, the markings of dials in the Italian spirit and unique bracelets.
By the way, many say that the design of the Venezianico bracelet was borrowed from Patek.
The idea has its place, but if you look at it this way, today many, even famous brands, can borrow some successful and successful elements from each other.
In this case, Venezianico may have been inspired by the design of the Patek bracelet, but they made it exactly their own. Moreover, according to Venezianico, the bracelet was created using 16 unique shapes and is patented by the brand.
The brand's official website actually lists the patent number.
Very refined 316l stainless steel body.
The sides are satin-finished, the upper part of the lugs is mirror polished, which gives a good feeling of volume.
The lugs have a bend in several steps, which adds complexity to the geometry of the case.
Crown with protective beads. Very convenient size. Decorated with an engraved cross - the Venezianico logo.
The bezel is very nicely made. The edges are processed perfectly. Very comfortable grip. Expensive move, expensive clicks.
Here I would like to separately note the unusual bezel coating. This is a tungsten plate. Tungsten is the strongest metal in the world. Melting point 3400 degrees.
Not only is it very durable, it looks unusual. The bezel has a distinct, metallic hue, which I have never seen on a watch.
On the back of the watch there is an engraving of the submarine Nereid. Back cover with screws.
The watch bracelet is really very sophisticated and beautiful. The main links are in the form of rods. Satin-finished. Centerpieces with mirror polishing.
Butterfly clasp. Hides the fastening mechanism and creates the integrity of the bracelet.
The dial is one of the important trump cards of this model.
This is a blue color, but it’s not just a boring blue, but a color that gives completely different shades from different viewing angles and looks really very expensive.
The high cost is only emphasized by the applied watch markers, the applied brand logo (cross) and the refined shape of the hands.
Here is a great example of how to make it minimalist and expensive!
The dial is covered with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective layer.
Now let's talk a little about the characteristics.
I talked about water protection. It's 200 meters.
You will also be pleased with the Swiss mechanics with automatic winding on board. This is the proven Sellita SW200 movement with a power reserve of 38 hours. For those who don’t know, it is a very popular, very reliable mechanism that can be found in Swiss watches and is 2 times more expensive than these.
I almost forgot one of the most important points. Size.
Case diameter - 42 mm, from lug to lug - 49 mm, thickness - 12 mm, weight - 176 grams.
On my hand it is 18 cm. The girth fits well, but I would prefer a watch a little smaller. In size 40 mm. A matter of taste.
The cost of this beauty today in my online store Feeltime is 36,750 UAH. At the exchange rate, this is almost $950.
First of all, I want to note the pronounced Italian style.
A watch with its own face and it’s definitely worth the money.
They are beautifully made and have excellent quality finishing and workmanship.
The dial looks wonderful, with a very unusual tungsten bezel.
An expensive bracelet that the brand makes in 16 unique shapes and has patented.
Luxurious features, including an expensive Swiss movement.
A model with a lot of obvious advantages, which pleasantly stands out from what the watch market offers. I looked at it and enjoyed it.
And you can buy the original with an official guarantee in my Feeltime online store. I am the official distributor of the Venezianico brand in Ukraine.
Write your opinion about the watch in the comments, but that’s all for me. Stanislav was with you as always. Until next time. Bye
