Venezianico Nereide Aureo 4521590S Gold

The Nereide Aureo harmoniously combines classic elegance with modern watchmaking: The concept aims to create a diver's watch that functions both as a precise instrument and as a fine piece of jewelry. The overall impression is understatedly elegant without sacrificing robustness — a watch that convinces equally in everyday life and underwater. Elegance and function deliberately enter into a balanced relationship here.

Materiality and dimensions

The case of the Nereide Aureo is made of solid 316L stainless steel and features a pleasantly compact diameter of Ø39 mm; the distance from lug to lug is 45.50 mm with a total height of 10.50 mm. The combination of polished and satin-finished surfaces creates a luxurious look that also discreetly hugs the wrist. The case is complemented by a scratch-resistant tungsten insert in the bezel, enhancing both appearance and durability.

The dial: Venetian gold tradition reinterpreted

At the center is a dial with a 24-carat gold treatment and a fine, wavy surface deliberately reminiscent of the Venetian gilding technique. This wave structure acts like a modern echo of leaf gilding and captures light in a lively way; it directly connects the watch with the long tradition of Venetian goldsmithing. The dial is therefore not just decoration but also carries a cultural reference to the Serenissima.

Movement and rate behavior

The Nereide Aureo is powered by the proven Miyota 9039 automatic movement, designed as a three-hand caliber without a date window. This Swiss-not-Swiss (Japanese) caliber delivers a smooth and reliable rate, underlining the watch's claim to everyday usability and durability. The choice of a simple three-hand layout further contributes to the clear, timeless appearance.

Glass and visibility

The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that combines scratch resistance with high optical clarity. For good readability in low light conditions, the Nereide Aureo uses BGW9 Super-LumiNova®, whose cool luminescent color clearly highlights the numerals and hands at dusk. This ensures the watch remains precise and confidently readable both in daylight and twilight.

Bezel, crown, and water protection

The bezel is fitted with a polished tungsten insert and clicks into place in 120 steps; its surface is especially scratch-resistant and gives the watch a tangible quality when turning. Together with the screw-down crown, this construction ensures water resistance of 20 ATM (200 m), making the Nereide Aureo suitable for all open water diving requirements without sacrificing its elegant appearance.

The new Sansovino bracelet

For the first time, the Nereide Aureo features the new Sansovino bracelet, consisting of five links — two polished and three satin-finished rows — offering a balanced mix of robustness and finesse. The solid clasp is equipped with a micro-adjustment that guarantees comfort and a secure fit, even when worn over a wetsuit. This bracelet is deliberately designed as a connection between Renaissance aesthetics and modern wearing comfort.

The case back motif: Tribute to Venice

The engraved lid of the Nereide Aureo honors the Venetian tradition: It shows the impressive nave of the Basilica San Marco and thus clearly refers to the goldsmithing art that made Venice famous. This detailed work makes the watch not only a timepiece but also a small monument that visibly expresses origin and artisanal roots.

Conclusion: Wearing history

Those who choose the Nereide Aureo get more than a technically sophisticated dive watch: With its gold-treated dial, robust 316L stainless steel case, and finely linked Sansovino bracelet, it combines craftsmanship and lifestyle. It is suitable for anyone who values timeless aesthetics, reliable technology, and a tangible connection to Venetian tradition — both underwater and in everyday life. Heritage and wearing comfort go hand in hand here.

My conclusion:

"Venezianico has long impressed us with their Nereide series. But now comes a watch that I truly find more than fascinating; the Venezezianico Nereide Aureo. I'm absolutely not a fan of gold, but this dial immediately blew me away. WOW. This uneven texture, then made of 24 karat gold. And then the new bracelet. What more could you want. A truly all-around successful watch. WOW."
