Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino

Arsenale Bizantino is born from the encounter between the decorative richness of Constantinople's art and the essential purity of Venezianico's design language. Byzantine geometric patterns, interlaced motifs, and a symbolic use of light shaped centuries of Venetian architecture — from the domes of St. Mark's Basilica to the mosaics that illuminate its interiors — and that shared visual language is reinterpreted here through the sharp proportions of the case and bracelet.

The case is 40mm engraved 316L stainless steel, 44mm lug-to-lug, and just 9.95mm thick including the crystal, with each engraving sculpted through a carefully controlled process that produces sharp, consistent reliefs across the case and bezel. The anthracite dial is brass enamel with a smoked sunburst finish, its fumé gradient deepening the contrast against the engraved surfaces, and BGW9 Super-LumiNova on the indexes keeps it legible after dark. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating sits above a screwed crown, while the caseback is engraved with a minimalist take on Justinian and Theodora, the Byzantine emperor and empress whose imagery has long echoed through Venetian art, and is fixed with six screws. The bracelet carries the same craftsmanship link by link, with geometric engravings that continue the case's visual rhythm.

Power comes from the Miyota 9039, an automatic 3-hand movement with no date — a deliberate choice that keeps the dial uncluttered so the engraved case and sunburst finish stay the focus. Water resistance is rated to 5 ATM (50m), and the watch is backed by Venezianico's 2-year international warranty.
