Venezianico Nereide Ti-Damascus Numbered Limited Edition

Fusion of Tradition and Innovation

The Nereide Ti-Damascus is the result of an exciting fusion of centuries-old forging techniques and modern material technology. Its dial is created by the elaborate welding and folding of various titanium alloys – a process that harks back to historical Damascus steel techniques once used by master smiths in the Mediterranean region. This intricate technique not only creates a particularly durable structure but also an incomparably aesthetic surface.

Limited to 500 pieces. Numbered.

A Dial with Lively Depth

After the forging process, the titanium undergoes a precisely controlled heat treatment by hand. The metal's surface is heated with a targeted flame, without altering its structure. The result is a natural oxidation that uses no color pigments whatsoever. Instead, shimmering color gradients emerge – from rich blue to copper and violet, all the way to gold tones. Since each alloy reacts individually to heat, no two dials are alike – each is a true one-of-a-kind.

Craftsmanship and Character

The production of this special dial is not machine-made, but exclusively carried out with elaborate handcraft. The material is layered multiple times, welded under high temperature in an inert gas, then ground and shaped. This demanding artisanal process requires time, patience, and years of experience. The result is a metallic surface whose patterns and colors create a lively play of light and depth – an appearance that cannot be reproduced by industrial methods.

Robust Case, Thoughtful Design

The Nereide Ti-Damascus comes in a robust case made of 316L stainless steel with a diameter of 42 mm, a lug-to-lug distance of 49 mm, and a height of 12.5 mm. The bezel is made of polished tungsten – an extremely scratch-resistant material that boasts a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale. The sapphire crystal on the front is anti-reflective, ensuring a clear view of the impressive dial at all times. The watch's design is masculine, technical, and elegant at the same time – ideal for the modern watch wearer with a penchant for the extraordinary.

Swiss Technology with a Special Eye-Catcher

Inside the watch beats the proven Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement with date function – known for its durability and precision. But what truly makes this watch special is its specially developed, skeletonized rotor. Visible through the transparent case back, it features a purple IP coating, fine Geneva stripes (Côtes de Genève), and carefully polished cut-outs. The rotor is not only functional but also a design highlight that harmoniously continues the dial's play of colors on the back of the watch.

Packaging with Artistic Claim

The packaging of this limited edition is also thoughtfully and high-quality designed. The box was exclusively created for this model and echoes the visual language of the dial. The abstract color gradients on the packaging reflect the color palette that emerges during the heat treatment of the Damascus titanium: iridescent contrasts, shimmering patterns, and unexpected shades. This was not just about an appealing exterior – the box is an extension of the design, an aesthetic whole that connects the watch and its presentation.
