VENEZIANICO LAUNCHES THE ARSENALE ULTRABLACK
The allure of Absolute Black defines the latest creation from the Morelli brothers' brand, combining the minimalism of the Musou Black™ dial with the avant-garde elegance of the Arsenale model.
Absolute Black. Gazing into darkness means letting it gaze back into you. It’s a space of catharsis, where one can lose oneself only to be reborn, a place where time expands into a parallel, undefined dimension, ready to inspire creativity. With Arsenale Ultrablack, Venezianico offers not only an emotional journey but a near-obsessive pursuit of perfection: every production detail is handled with utmost care, from the finishes to the final product.
Arsenale Ultrablack is also an invitation to explore the unknown, evoking the spirit of adventure and discovery that for centuries defined the Arsenal of Venice. The caseback features a space station set in the vastness of the cosmos, symbolizing a journey toward new horizons, just as the historic Arsenal was the starting point for courageous expeditions to unknown lands. This bond between past and future finds expression in the absolute black of the dial, which conjures infinity and the challenge of the unexplored. Thus, Arsenale transforms into a modern, cosmic vision, where the thirst for knowledge meets ingenuity and bravery, celebrating both tradition and innovation.
This creation represents a blend of the brand’s dual expertise: on one side, the success of the Redentore and Nereide models in Ultrablack versions, using Musou Black™ paint for the dial; on the other, the elegance of the recent Arsenale with its integrated bracelet, symbolizing the brand's continuous evolution.
The result is a minimalist design, defined by the absolute black dial. The Musou Black™ paint, which absorbs 99.4% of light, enhances the watch’s minimalist aesthetic, attracting attention without superfluous details. The case, with a 40 mm diameter, a lug-to-lug width of 44 mm, and a thickness of just 8.95 mm, encases a sophisticated dial where minimalism and technology converge to form a deep black that pushes the limits of perception and captures the essence of time. This is all completed with an ultra-thin sapphire crystal, just over 1 mm of thickness, which allows an unimpeded view of the absolute black, providing a pure, uncompromised vision.
The production process is meticulous: brass discs are treated with care, and the Musou Black™ paint, specially adapted to adhere perfectly to metal, is applied with a precision airbrush to ensure uniform coverage. The drying process takes place in a dust-free environment, where even the slightest contact could compromise the finish. The brand logo is then added with extreme precision and undergoes rigorous quality checks, as even the lightest touch could leave a permanent mark.
The surfaces of the Arsenale Ultrablack alternate between brushed and polished finishes, enhancing the elegance of the watch without compromising its durability. This sophisticated and contemporary timepiece is ideal for those who appreciate a modern aesthetic that communicates strength, class, restraint, and a decisive character.
Completing the design is a sporty rubber strap or, upon request and for an additional cost, the Canova Concept™ steel bracelet, offering an option of timeless elegance.
