Natural Mother of Pearl
For the Arsenale 37mm, we carefully selected natural mother-of-pearl semi-finished blanks distinguished by a high level of iridescence. After an initial selection phase, the material is cut into a circular shape, thinned, and polished to enhance its depth and natural reflections. Each dial is therefore unique, defined by the intrinsic structure of the mother-of-pearl itself.
Coloring process
Once the disc is prepared, the coloring phase begins. The pigment is applied with great care to achieve a uniform color while preserving the material’s natural iridescence. It’s a delicate balance: too much color would risk obscuring the depth of the mother-of-pearl. The process is then carried out progressively until the right balance between color and transparency is achieved.
Smoked finish and protective varnish
To complete the dial, a smoked finish is applied to the edge, creating a progressive fade toward the outside. This process increases readability, allowing the indices and printing to stand out against the iridescent central surface. Finally, the dial is protected with a transparent varnish, which protects the material from UV rays and external agents.
Compact Proportions
Arsenale 37 echoes the collection’s architecture in a more compact size. The 37 mm case is designed to fit a wider range of wrists, maintaining the model’s balance and distinctive lines.
The integrated bracelet seamlessly integrates the case, creating a harmonious silhouette that combines elegance and versatility.
9 mm thickness
The slim 9mm profile is made possible by the Miyota 9039 automatic movement, chosen for its reliability and compactness.
The case construction maintains a clean, continuous line with the integrated bracelet, offering a lightweight and comfortable watch that fits naturally on the wrist.
The Venetian Arsenale
The caseback depicts the Venetian Arsenal, one of the most advanced proto-industrial complexes of its time.
Thanks to its innovative work organization and cutting-edge production techniques, the Arsenal anticipated the concept of mass production by centuries, enabling the rapid assembly of Venetian galleys and contributing to the maritime power of the Serenissima.
