Nereide Verdigris - 4521549
Venice is a city shaped by time. The lagoon’s water, salty air, and humidity slowly transform the metals of its architecture. On domes, statues, and decorative surfaces in copper and brass, a green-turquoise patina known as verdigris gradually forms, becoming one of the most recognizable tones of the Venetian landscape. The dial of Nereide Verdigris draws inspiration from this transformation. Made of brass, it undergoes a controlled oxidation process that develops the characteristic patina, creating shades that shift between green, turquoise, and blue. Each dial is slightly different, echoing the colors of Venetian metals shaped by time and the lagoon.

The idea took shape by observing how the metals of Venice change over the years. Copper and brass, exposed to the lagoon air, gradually develop the characteristic verdigris patina, with shades of green and turquoise. This natural phenomenon became the inspiration for the project: to transfer those same nuances and materiality to the Nereide dial.
The Nereide Verdigris dial is created from a brass base. Through a handcrafted process of controlled oxidation and flaming, the surface develops its characteristic patina, rich in texture and color variations. Each plate reacts slightly differently, generating unpredictable patterns that make each dial unique.

The Colors of Venice
Copper domes, statues, and architectural details slowly change over the years, developing the green and turquoise hues that characterize the city's landscape. These nuances, born of time and the elements, constantly become a source of inspiration for our creations.
Technical Specifications
Our dive watch, water-resistant to a depth of 200 meters, takes its name from the Nereide submarine, a marvel of Venetian naval technology. This timepiece is engineered to endure strong stresses, making it particularly well-suited for water sports enthusiasts.

Textured Surface
The verdigris patina gives the dial a rich, three-dimensional surface, characterized by irregular shades of green, turquoise, and blue. The texture, created through the artisanal process of oxidizing and flaming the brass, creates visual depth and ever-changing reflections in the light. The result is a dial with a highly textured aesthetic, where every detail reflects the natural transformation of the metal.
Born from an Iconic Submarine
The submarine Nereide, which inspires the entire collection, is depicted submerged in the engraving at the center of the caseback, to remind how this watch doesn't compromise on underwater performance, retaining the ability to dive up to 200m deep and the rotating bezel that allows monitoring of dive times.
