Venezianico Redentore Avventurina 36 gives a compact dress watch a glass night sky

The Redentore Avventurina 36 leaves its dial almost entirely open to the sparkle of aventurine glass. Fine metallic inclusions create the star-like effect, with the brand’s small cross and slender hands providing a restrained frame. The material is decorative glass, distinct from the natural quartz gemstone also called aventurine.

The steel case measures 36 mm across, 42.2 mm lug to lug and 10.4 mm thick. Venezianico specifies a 0.4 mm glass layer on a brass base, protected by anti-reflective sapphire. An NH35A automatic movement powers the watch, while 30-metre water resistance and an Italian leather strap suit its dress-watch role.
