Venezianico’s latest Redentore feels like a deliberate statement from a brand steadily pulling more of its watchmaking identity back toward Italy.
The Redentore Levius is a compact titanium dress watch with a hand-engraved guilloché dial and an Italian-made manual-wind movement, but its most immediate trick is how little it weighs.
At 48g on its leather strap, this is the kind of watch that aims to disappear physically while still giving the wrist something detailed to look at.
At a glance
- Venezianico has introduced the Redentore Levius, a 38mm Grade 5 titanium dress watch with a hand-engraved guilloché dial.
- The blue Zefiro dial is paired with the Italian-made hand-wound V5000 calibre, visible through a sapphire caseback.
- Pre-orders open September 14, 2026, at 15:00 GMT+2, priced at EUR 4,750 or USD 5,550.
A lighter take on the Redentore case
The Levius name comes from the Latin levis, meaning light, gentle or delicate, and Venezianico hasn’t treated that as a loose theme.
The Grade 5 titanium case weighs just 12.9g by itself, while the full watch head comes in at 40g.
On the wrist, the complete watch weighs 48g with its leather strap, which should make it notably easy to wear through a long day.
The proportions stay close to the dressier side of the Redentore family, with a 38mm diameter, 8.9mm thickness and 44.2mm lug-to-lug measurement.
Short lugs help keep the silhouette controlled, while the mix of brushed and polished titanium gives the case more formality than the low weight might suggest.
A polished Grade 5 titanium bezel, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and 30m water resistance complete the case architecture.
The Zefiro dial is hand-cut on a rose engine
The dial is the visual centre of the Redentore Levius, and it’s where the watch leans hardest into traditional craft.
Linda Renzetti, who also produced the dial for the first Redentore Utopia, hand-engraves the Levius dial using a 19th-century rose engine.
The pattern is called Zefiro, a nod to Zephyrus, the gentle west wind from classical mythology.
Rather than using the guilloché as dense decoration, the dial uses flowing lines that shift across the blue surface as the angle of light changes.
The display remains restrained, with polished short indices, faceted polished hands and a slim central seconds hand.
That simplicity matters, because it lets the dial’s hand-cut texture carry the personality without turning the watch into a showpiece.
An Italian-made hand-wound movement
Inside the Levius is the Venezianico V5000, a manually wound calibre manufactured by OISA and designed by Fausto Berizzi and Andrea Menegazzo.
The movement is part of Venezianico’s broader push to bring more of the mechanical and artisanal work behind its watches into Italy.
At 3.5mm thick, the V5000 helps preserve the watch’s slim profile while offering a 60-hour power reserve.
It runs at 25,200 vibrations per hour and uses a variable-inertia copper-beryllium balance with four masselottes by Atokalpa.
The finishing is visible through the sapphire caseback, with radial Côtes de Genève, mirror-polished anglage, hand-applied micro-perlage and nickel-treated bridges.
For collectors watching the independent European scene, the movement is arguably as important as the dial, because it gives the Levius a clearer identity than another outsourced automatic would have done.
