Venezianico Nereide Opale Blu Watch Review: A Decorative Diver with a Blue Opal Dial
The Venezianico Nereide Opale Blu pairs a 42mm steel diver’s case with a distinctive blue-and-green lab-grown opal dial made by Kyocera. Limited to 600 pieces, it has a 200-meter water-resistance rating, a tungsten bezel insert, a 120-click unidirectional bezel, luminous markers and hands, and a sapphire crystal. Its Sansovino bracelet is more comfortable than the earlier style, though it lacks quick-release spring bars and no additional strap is included. Inside, the watch uses the Swiss automatic Sellita SW200-1, with a date display, more than 40 hours of power reserve, and a decorated rotor visible through the exhibition caseback. The opal’s appearance varies from piece to piece, while its colors provide a decorative contrast without compromising legibility. Priced at $1,550, the watch combines traditional diver styling with an eye-catching dial.
