The Nereide Ti-Damascus from Venezianico is a 500-piece limited edition that brings together centuries-old Damascus steel artistry and modern titanium innovation. The dial is forged from layered titanium alloys, folded and heat-treated in a painstaking artisanal process. The result is a surface alive with shifting, multicoloured patterns, no two alike, each reflecting light in unpredictable ways. It’s less a static dial and more a living texture, a reminder that time can be seen as well as measured.
Beneath its poetic surface, this is still a serious diver’s watch. Water-resistant to 200 metres, it’s protected by a tungsten bezel that shrugs off scratches and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal for clarity under any conditions. The Sansovino-style bracelet in stainless steel balances comfort with a refined, architectural edge. Inside, the 42mm case made from corrosion-resistant 316L steel houses the reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. Flip it over and you’ll see a wide sapphire caseback revealing a skeletonised rotor finished with radial Côtes de Genève and a violet IP coating that ties back to the dial’s tones.
The Nereide Ti-Damascus feels like more than a watch. It’s an exploration of material, tradition, and light. Every piece carries its own fingerprint of patterns, making it a genuinely individual object. Venezianico has created something that captures time, refracts it, and gives it back to you as something new each time you look.
