Venezianico Nereide Tungsteno Owner Review : Remarkable, hypnotic and balanced

A few months ago, I was hesitating between a red Aquis (41.5) and a blue tungsten Aquis (39.5). I finally opted for the red one (review on this site!) whose diameter and deep and original color were in line with my current aspirations. And now Venezianico, an Italian brand, has recently offered something new: a diver with a tungsten bezel and a blue dial, here pearly and beautiful. All in ideal dimensions: 39.1mm in diameter, 45.5mm from lug to lug, 10.5mm thick (only!) and 126gr in weight (on a steel bracelet adjusted to my 16.5 wrist) (all measured by me). Delighted to find the Miyota 9039 again (a movement that equips 5 other watches in my collection, with efficiency and regularity). The absence of a date suits me perfectly, especially considering the size and appearance of the dial, which we can thus fully enjoy. I would like to highlight 3 strong points here. First of all, of course, the truly incredible dial, especially with a formidable anti-reflective sapphire crystal. We often want to dive into it! I would also mention the general dimensions (see above). And finally its relative versatility: at first glance sporty because it is a diver (unidirectional bezel, water-resistant to 200m, screw-down crown), the size (including thickness) and its dial allow it to be worn quite easily in more serious circumstances (except during the ambassador's evenings, of course!). We could regret a general form of case that is conventional and usual, as well as a limited adjustment of the steel bracelet (no mini links (half link), nor micro adjustments since it is a butterfly folding clasp). But we quickly forget these two remarks when appreciating its overall characteristics and its unique and magical dial, associated with a very competitive price!
