The Bucintoro collection by Venezianico is named after the iconic vessel of the Doge of Venice, the Bucintoro, which traditionally opened regattas in the lagoon of the famous city.
The image of which is engraved on the back of the watch, an automatic chronograph with a 42 mm steel case, available with two types of dials, namely 'panda' (silver-toned bottom with black counters) and 'reverse panda' (black bottom with silver-toned counters).
The case, water-resistant to a pressure of 10 atmospheres, is thinner than previous versions of the Bucintoro, with a thickness of 11.7 mm.
On the dial, in addition to the supplementary counters (for continuous seconds at 3 o'clock, chrono hours at 6 o'clock and chrono minutes at 9 o'clock), there are luminescent hands and bar indices, as well as the tachymeter scale on the flange.
The watch is powered by the Seiko NE88 calibre (28,800 vibrations per hour, 45-hour power reserve), a self-winding mechanical movement, with column-wheel chrono functions and vertical coupling.
There are four variants available, with a choice of the handcrafted Made in Italy leather strap (black for the Bucintoro with the 'reverse panda' dial and grey for the one with the 'panda' dial) and the steel Canova bracelet. It is also possible to purchase a black rubber strap separately for 50 euros.
Finally, it is worth mentioning the presence of the sapphire crystal with double curvature to protect the dial, as well as the fact that the strap or bracelet versions are sold at the same price.
