The Nereide Verdigris by Venezianico captures the poetic transformation of metal shaped by time and the Venetian lagoon. Inspired by Venice’s ever evolving architecture, this diver’s watch reflects how copper and brass surfaces develop rich green and turquoise patinas through exposure to salt air and humidity. Rather than resisting change, the design embraces it, translating the city’s natural aging process into a striking and contemporary dial that feels alive and constantly shifting. Made from a brass base, each dial undergoes a controlled oxidation process enhanced by precise treatments and flame finishing. This technique produces the distinctive verdigris effect with layers of green, blue and turquoise tones that mirror Venice’s domes and statues. Subtle variations in temperature and oxygen create unique textures and patterns, ensuring no two dials are ever identical. The result is a deeply organic surface with a three dimensional quality, revealing new details as light moves across it. Beyond aesthetics, the Nereide Verdigris remains a true professional diver. Its 42 mm 316L stainless steel case features a unidirectional bezel with a durable tungsten insert, while the Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement delivers reliable precision. With 200 meters of water resistance and a caseback engraved with the historic Nereide submarine, it blends heritage with performance. Finished with a colour matched Italian rubber strap, this watch is a bold expression of craftsmanship where time does not fade beauty, it transforms it.
