Ready to make a statement with more than just a stylish accessory? Venezianico has done it again with the Arsenale Bizantino, a harmonious blend of ancient artistry and modern design. This 40 mm engraved steel masterpiece draws its inspiration from the geometric elegance of Byzantine art, right from the heart of Constantinople.
Now, for those who wonder what’s ticking beneath this beauty, it’s all about the Miyota 9039 automatic movement. It’s a workhorse known for its fluidity, reliability, and that oh-so-slim profile, making sure your new timepiece isn’t just sitting pretty.
Speaking of style, the Arsenale Bizantino doesn’t shy away from luxury. The smoked enamel soleil dial with its fumé gradient and a thickness under 10 mm gives it an enchanting play of light and shadow – like wearing a tiny piece of architectural history on your wrist.
Alberto Morelli, a name to respect in watchmaking circles, summed it up: “Venice still carries the signs of Byzantine influence: interlaced geometries, mosaics that vibrate under the light, symbols narrating the encounter between East and West.” And with this model, the Morelli brothers have managed to capture centuries of aesthetic richness, crafting a pattern language that respects its proportions yet dazzles with its design harmony.
The details will have any watch enthusiast oohing and aahing – engravings inspired by timeless imperial iconography etched into the 316L steel case, bezel, and bracelet. This isn’t just a watch; it’s a mini piece of art you can wear!
With a water resistance of 5 ATM, the Arsenale Bizantino isn’t just made for the gallery but ready for the occasional splash of adventure, too. What really wraps this package up is the Canova Concept™ bracelet, completing an unbroken design story that challenges the monotony of ordinary wristwear.
From the lume that lights up the Dauphine hands and ingot indices with BGW9 Super-LumiNova®, to the engraved echoes of Justinian and Theodora on the caseback, this watch is a narrative-driven, historically inspired triumph.
So whether you’re a lover of intricate designs, history, or simply enjoy the finer things in life, the Arsenale Bizantino is a time-bending spectacle that pays homage to the vibrant cultural dialogues between East and West.
