Venezianico Nereide Opale Blu Limited edition - 45215OPB
The lab-grown opal used for Nereide is created in the KYOCERA® laboratories in Japan, the only facility in the world to produce this material through a proprietary process. The formation of its structure requires extended growth periods and extremely rigorous control, resulting in a surface of extraordinary optical depth. The limited availability of the material means that we work exclusively with small batches, reserved for highly limited production runs.
Each dial is crafted from a sheet of lab-grown opal just 0.4 mm thick. Despite its exceptional hardness, the material is extremely fragile and requires a gradual, carefully controlled approach at every stage of production. From cutting and drilling to polishing and the hand-application of the indices, every step is carried out in-house using dedicated tools and a level of precision refined through experience.
The profound iridescence of lab-grown opal finds its natural expression in the Nereide case. The clean lines of the dial and the geometry of the diver allow the material itself to take centre stage, transforming every shift in light into an element of the design. The result is a balance of technique, functionality and aesthetic exploration that defines the character of this limited edition.
