A symbol of the wealth and magnificence of the Serenissima Republic, Venetian craftsmanship has ancient roots, dating back to the Byzantine period when the lagoon city became a center of refined artistic production. Skilled artisans created extraordinary works using techniques passed down from generation to generation, as evidenced by the golden details of the Basilica of San Marco. This mastery in the use of gold adorned not only Venetian churches and palaces but also artifacts representing the power and grandeur of the Republic.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
Embodying the values of “Venetianity,” the Morelli brothers today reinterpret their diver, the Nereide, with a 42mm case made of 316L steel, applying a special 24-carat gold-finished dial that recalls the ancient lamination of precious metals.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
An emotional homage to the gilded inner walls of the Basilica of San Marco, covered with mosaics from the 9th and 13th centuries, made with colored and gilded glass tesserae depicting biblical scenes, saints, and geometric decorations, following a medieval technique that used thin gold leaf on glass, covering over 8,000 square meters of surface area.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
The noble metal, whose craftsmanship made Venice famous over the centuries and requires uncommon artisanal skill, is presented on the dials of the Nereide Aureo with an extraordinary rippled finish that makes each model a unique piece. Each metal disc undergoes a tumbling process to achieve a surface with deliberate imperfections, followed by a galvanic treatment where it is immersed in an electrolytic solution containing pure gold particles.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The treatment offers the dial, enriched with baton indexes in Super-LumiNova® BGW9 for perfect night vision, not only the same aesthetic quality as lamination but also superior resistance and uniformity over time. Everything is perfectly harmonized under high-quality sapphire glass, with the unidirectional bezel in polished tungsten, one of the hardest materials in the world.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
To count hours, minutes, and seconds, within the elegant and satin-finished case lines, there is the Swiss precision of the Sellita SW200 movement, while the case back pays homage, through engraving, to the majesty of the main nave of the Basilica of San Marco, with its walls adorned with gold leaf, simultaneously celebrating the rich artisanal tradition of Venetian goldbeaters.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
The watch is completed by a new bracelet inspired by the works of Renaissance sculptor Jacopo Sansovino, known for his mastery and attention to detail. Composed of five links, two polished and three satin-finished, the Sansovino Bracelet, through a solid deployant clasp with dual finish and micro-adjustment, ensures a comfortable and secure fit, ideal for diving enthusiasts and those who love the perfect balance between elegance and sportiness. ------------------------------------------
