The Watch

The Arsenale Bizantino watch by Venezianico is the perfect fusion of classical Byzantine art and cutting-edge watchmaking technology. A contemporary tribute to the centuries-long dialogue between the Orient and the Serenissima, it was designed for men who appreciate detail and elegance - standing out for its originality and precision. The tonneau-shaped case is crafted in 316L stainless steel, renowned for its durability and exceptional corrosion resistance. It measures 40 mm in diameter and 9.95 mm thick, offering a well-balanced profile that sits comfortably on the wrist. The fine, intricate engravings adorning the case draw from historical geometric motifs, contributing to a bold and striking design. The caseback, securely fastened with screws, ensures both robustness and easy access for servicing and movement regulation.

The Dial

The dial of this watch unfolds like a play of nuance and subtle reflections, with its smoked anthracite color and sunray finish. Every ray of light that grazes its surface highlights the meticulous finishing, lending a mysterious charm to this exceptional watch. The hands and indices are coated with SuperLuminova BG W9, ensuring optimal legibility in low-light conditions. The harmonious arrangement of its elements reflects refined sophistication, accentuated by a discreet minute track that delicately frames the dial.

The Movement

At the beating heart of this watch lies its movement - a Miyota 9039 caliber. This Japanese mechanism, recognized for its precision and reliability, delivers a smooth and efficient timekeeping experience. Running at 28,800 bph (4 Hz), this automatic movement offers a power reserve of 42 hours, keeping the watch running continuously after a full wind.

The Bracelet

The bracelet, crafted in 316L stainless steel, mirrors the beauty and artisanship of the watch case. It is adorned with engraved patterns inspired by the geometric art of Constantinople, each meticulously designed to replicate the aesthetic language of the era. The bracelet delivers visual continuity across the entire model, with each link carefully articulated to follow the curves of the wrist with effortless elegance. The polished and satin-finished steel not only extends the longevity of the piece but also enhances its refined look.

Water Resistance

With water resistance up to 5 ATM, this watch is built to handle everyday water exposure - splashes, rain, and similar situations. While not suited for diving or prolonged immersion, it offers reliable protection for normal daily activities, underscoring its practical appeal. This resistance is reinforced by its screw-down caseback, a design choice that ensures solid internal mechanical protection. It bears the iconic imagery of Justinian and Theodora - emperor and empress of the Byzantine Empire - key figures of the aesthetics and culture of their time.
