Venezianico is setting the stage for a bold new chapter in dive watch design with the upcoming release of the Nereide Ti‑Damascus—a 500‑piece limited edition that fuses ancient metallurgical artistry with modern mechanical precision. Showcasing a dial made from heat-treated Damascus titanium, this timepiece offers an entirely unique visual signature, elevating the Nereide collection to new creative and technical heights.
What Is the Nereide Ti‑Damascus?
Rooted in the legacy of the Regia Marina’s Nereide submarine, this new model carries forward Venezianico’s tradition of durable, high-performance dive watches—with a radical twist. The Ti‑Damascus stands apart thanks to its distinctive dial made from Damascus titanium, forged through a centuries-old process that guarantees no two watches are the same.
With only 500 individually numbered pieces available worldwide, this limited edition underscores exclusivity, uniqueness, and craftsmanship for collectors and dive watch enthusiasts alike.
At the heart of the Nereide Ti‑Damascus is its dial, crafted using a rare damascening technique typically reserved for fine weaponry. Titanium grades 2, 5, and 9 are folded and compressed to create bold, swirling patterns. These are then heat-treated to reveal iridescent shades of blue, copper, purple, and gold, each dial a canvas of natural oxidation that’s impossible to replicate.
This kaleidoscopic aesthetic is more than decorative—it captures light in stunning ways, making the dial appear alive with motion and depth from every angle.
Encasing this artistic dial is a 42 mm 316L stainless steel case, built for everyday wear and underwater performance. With a profile of 12.5 mm thickness and 49 mm lug-to-lug distance, the case achieves a balanced presence on the wrist.
A key design highlight is its tungsten bezel, chosen for its hardness and scratch resistance. It features a polished, 120-click unidirectional dive bezel, reinforcing the piece’s functionality without compromising elegance.
Boasting 200 meters of water resistance, the Nereide Ti‑Damascus is as rugged as it is refined.
Inside: Swiss Precision with a Stylish Twist
Powering the Nereide Ti‑Damascus is the Sellita SW200‑1 automatic movement, a trusted Swiss caliber known for its reliability and performance. It offers a 38–40-hour power reserve, smooth automatic winding, and a date complication at 6 o’clock.
For a finishing touch, the movement is adorned with a custom skeletonized rotor, finished with Côtes de Genève striping and a purple IP coating, viewable through the transparent exhibition caseback—a fusion of raw mechanics and refined artistry. Completing the look is the Sansovino stainless steel bracelet, designed in-house and secured with a butterfly deployant clasp, delivering both comfort and sophistication.
