Venezianico Bucintoro 42 8221511C Black Chronograph

All about the Venezianico Bucintoro 42 - 8221511, which impresses with its black dial. A truly impressive chronograph.

The Bucintoro was the Doge's galley, the head of state of the Serenissima Republic of Venice. This boat opened the historic regatta, a sporting event in which the best rowers of Venice participated.

An homage to speed on the water

Our chronograph is named after the Bucintoro, the magnificent ship with which the Doge of Venice opened the annual rowing competition, today known as "Regata Storica" (Historic Regatta). This regatta ideally combines the agonistic concept of speed on the water with the elegance of tradition.

Versatile design

The curved profile and proportions of the case make this chronograph an everyday companion, while simultaneously exhibiting a refined and noble aesthetic. With a comfortable leather strap or the elegant stainless steel bracelet, the Bucintoro offers an extremely versatile design that adapts perfectly to sporting contexts.

Sportiness on the wrist

A chronograph is the ideal companion for all who like it sporty. Its balanced case and dynamic design make it the perfect watch for your adventures, ready to measure speed with unique style and flair.

Chronograph functions of the Venezianico Bucintoro 42 - 8221511

The Bucintoro features three displays for the chronograph functions. The chronograph second hand is mounted on the central shaft, which also allows reading the speed (on the kilometer scale) via the tachymetric scale on the back. The 30-minute chronograph counter is located at 9 o'clock and contrasts with the continuous seconds counter at 3 o'clock. The third counter below finally displays the hours.

A new case shape

With a diameter of 42 mm, the Bucintoro is characterized by a very slim case with a thickness of 11.70 mm. This case shape, to which a domed sapphire crystal of 1.90 mm is added, represents an exceptional plus compared to most automatic chronographs and guarantees a perfect fit even on the thinnest wrists.

Column wheel and vertical clutch

Systems with a column wheel and vertical clutch are the most precise, but they also solve the annoying phenomenon of the so-called "jumping hand" that occurs in systems that do not use them. The column wheel has a shape reminiscent of the top of a medieval battlements. To ensure smoother engagement and thus a more pleasant user experience, each crank (i.e. each "column") must be re-machined by hand to remove even the smallest machining residues.
