The Italian watchmaker Venezianico hits hard with the launch ofArsenale Ultrablacka creation that redefines minimalist elegance thanks to its absolute black dial. With this watch, the Morelli brothers, founders of the brand, invite watch lovers to dive into a dimension where simplicity and technology meet to offer an extraordinary experience.
A tribute to absolute black
The dial of the Arsenale Ultrablack, covered with Musou Black™a paint capable of absorbing 99.4% of light, is a true technical feat. This deep black creates a feeling of infinity, inviting introspective reflection. Venezianico describes this intense black as a “cathartic space”, a place where time seems suspended and conducive to inspiration. This bold hue is not just an aesthetic choice, but a statement of intent for a brand that values innovation as much as elegance.
The housing of 40mm diametercombined with a low thickness of only 8.95 mm, further underlines the modern and refined appearance of this watch. The ultra-thin sapphire crystal that covers the dial offers a pure and undisturbed vision of this absolute black, guaranteeing a unique visual experience.
A design inspired by history and exploration
The Arsenale Ultrablack takes its name and inspiration from the Venice Arsenal, a symbol of innovation and conquest in Italian maritime history. On the case back, an engraving representing a space station evokes the conquest of new horizons, mixing tradition and futurism. This association between past and future perfectly reflects Venezianico’s DNA, which strives to celebrate heritage while innovating.
The black dial, combined with alternating brushed and polished surface finishes, recalls the rigor and audacity of Venetian engineering. The hands and indexes, which appear to float on the dial, offer optimal readability while reinforcing the impression of depth and mystery.
A meticulous manufacturing process
The production of the Arsenale Ultrablack highlights exceptional watchmaking know-how. The brass discs used for the dial are carefully treated before being coated with Musou Black™ paint using a high-precision airbrush. This process guarantees uniform coverage and perfect adhesion to the metal. The drying phase takes place in a dust-free environment, with each step scrutinized to avoid any defects.
The discreet but distinctive Venezianico logo is added with extreme precision. Each dial then undergoes rigorous checks to guarantee the perfection of the finish. This attention to detail highlights the brand’s commitment to excellence.
