All about the Venezianico Arsenale Byzantine Photo Watch

A Bridge Between East and West

The Arsenale Bizantino tells of an encounter: the decorative opulence of Constantinople and the clear form of our designs. In this model, geometric ornamentation and reduced lines unite into a dial that plays in anthracite with a fumé gradient and sunburst enamel — a design that does not quote tradition but reinterprets it anew.

Geometry as a Guide for Light

On the case and the strap, the finely crafted engravings follow strictly proportioned rhythms that guide the light like an architect. Each surface is designed so that reliefs and planes interact; the result is a visible depth effect that directs the gaze while conveying clear structure.

Materiality and Fine Workmanship

The case made of 316L stainless steel carries the engravings as precisely as it does durably, while the dial protected by sapphire crystal reflects the color in ever new facets. This sensory quality is technically complemented by the automatic Miyota caliber 9039, a slim three-hand construction that combines aesthetic ambition with reliable mechanics.

Proportions That Convince

Despite the richly decorated surface, the watch remains surprisingly restrained in size: with a 40 mm diameter, 44 mm lug-to-lug, and a total height under ten millimeters, the Arsenale Bizantino sits elegantly and flat on the wrist without the decoration diminishing its wearability.

Dial and Legibility

The brass-made enamel dial with smoky sunburst effect captures the light and reveals it in concentric layers; the hands and indices are proportioned so that readability and ornamentation work together. Practicality is enhanced by Swiss-made BGW9 Super-LumiNova®, which provides discreet orientation at dusk.

Back as a Narrative

The solidly crafted case back is more than a closure: it shows the figures of Justinian and Theodora in the finest engraving, reduced yet expressive, thus connecting the watch’s motif with the historical relationship between Byzantium and the Serenissima. The numbered edition on the back also emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual piece.

Bracelet as a Continuation

The strap seamlessly continues the design idea: to the left and right of the clasp, the sequence of ornamentation continues the visual rhythm, so that case and bracelet appear as a single sculptural surface. The precision of the workmanship ensures that the tactile feel of the engravings enriches rather than disturbs when worn.

Balance of Art and Technology

The Arsenale Bizantino is neither purely a piece of jewelry nor purely an instrument — it is both at once: artistic surfaces executed with technical precision, and a watch that works in everyday life (sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, screwed, solid case construction at 5 ATM). Whoever wears it carries a piece of lived craftsmanship on their wrist.

FAQs

About David from WATCHDAVID

My name is David and I have been deeply involved with watches for many years – not only as a dealer but especially as a tester, photographer, and classifier.

Since 2018, I have been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project with reviews, videos, and genuine wearing experiences. Many of the watches you find here I have worn myself – often for extended periods.

WATCHDAVID.SHOP is deliberately kept personal. I only sell watches that I truly stand behind – no anonymous mass products, no dropshipping, no “quick trends.” Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are my priorities.

And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I like good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a noted weakness for Kinder Chocolate.

If you have questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I respond personally.


Shipping & Insurance

Within Germany and the EU, I ship free of charge. Shipping is done via DHL and insured up to 500€, 2,500€, or 25,000€, depending on the watch value. The watches are thus always sufficiently insured.

The delivery time can be found in the description and/or under the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after ordering, others are brand new and, for example, only available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...

Cancellation & Return Shipping

You can cancel your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.

I will cover the costs for the return shipping for you.

IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself, I will send you the free return label.

Please simply contact me for this. david@watchdavid.com

It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of signs of use. After successful inspection, I will refund you the purchase price. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.

Authenticity & Condition of the Watches

I guarantee you that all watches I offer are exclusively new original products. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly point this out (e.g. so-called PHOTO WATCHES).

As an official dealer, I offer you exclusively authentic products. These are offered in the original packaging, with warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in the so-called full set. One delivers more, another less...

Warranty & Service

All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which usually lasts two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.

If a warranty case occurs, I will take care of the shipping to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and also organize the return shipment to you. In addition, I handle all communication with the manufacturer so that you don't have to worry about anything.

Even after the warranty period has expired, I remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.

No response received?

You wrote to me via the contact form, through the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you haven't received a reply?

Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and pushing more and more into spam.

I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it can sometimes take a bit longer. As a rule, I respond within a few minutes or hours.

Something can slip past me sometimes too. Or the technology doesn't work as it should. Feel free to write to me again at david@watchdavid.com

Mechanics - Sometimes things can happen there too

Before I ship your order, I carefully check each watch for visible defects.

If a problem should occur, such as damage during transport, please inform me immediately. I will do everything possible to quickly find a solution and ensure that you are satisfied.

My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!
