Venezianico's Nereide Madreperla brings the northern lights to the wrists

The unique and magical show of the northern lights is captured by the green mother-of-pearl dial of the new Nereide model by Italian watchmaker Venezianico.

aves and green shades in the sky, multicolored gleams chasing each other over snowy landscapes immersed in uncontaminated nature: a setting for adventurous spirits.

Venezianico celebrates the explorers of the Far North in its most famous diver, Nereide, which evokes all the intensity and mystery of the magical polar nights through the use of a special green mother-of-pearl dial.

The tribute to this “dance of lights”, confined to the most extreme latitudes, is conveyed through a careful crafting of mother-of-pearl, according to the distinct Italian taste of Venezianico when it comes to choosing materials and exploring creative solutions in watchmaking.

After selecting the raw material, polishing and shaping follow to achieve a smooth and uniform surface. Finally, the dial is delicately dyed in an emerald green color, without affecting the natural beauty and reflections of the mother-of-pearl.

The dial features indices and hands treated with the luminescent pigment BGW9 Super-LumiNova®. It is protected by a sapphire crystal and paired with a unidirectional 120-click bezel with a tungsten insert, one of the toughest materials in the world. Nereide Madreperla boasts the Swiss precision of a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, which is housed in a 42mm case made of surgical grade 316L stainless steel and ensures water resistance up to 200 meters.

On the case back is the engraving of the Nereide submarine while sailing underwater. This early 20th century vessel inspires the whole collection of Venezianico divers by embodying their sporty DNA. A premium quality rubber strap completes the shape of the case, which can also be fitted with the Canova stainless steel bracelet for greater versatility.
