One of the most distinctive features of Redentore Bellanotte is its off-center dial. Typically reserved for high-end watches, this design element adds a touch of sophistication and originality. In this particular instance, the off-center dial is crafted from white mother-of-pearl, an iridescent material that symbolizes the moon, delicately framed by a polished steel ring. This layout separates the mother-of-pearl from the rest of the design, which depicts St. Mark's Square during the enchanting Redentore night.
The structure of Redentore Bellanotte dial is highly complex, featuring four distinct levels. First, there is a starry sky made of aventurine, followed by a small off-center dial crafted from mother-of-pearl. Next, a satin-finished disc depicting fireworks is set, with a background showcasing a bas-relief of Palazzo Ducale and Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore, both rhodium-plated. This intricate construction is made possible by the use of a micro-automatic movement with a diameter of only 17.55 mm, secured with a brass ring decorated with a perlage finish.
The case of Redentore Bellanotte combines design and functionality. With a diameter of 40mm and a thickness of just 11.5mm, it offers a perfect balance between elegance and practicality. The onion-shaped crown, along with a reduced crown guard, enhances ergonomics, making it easier to adjust the watch. The harmonious lugs, with a curved strap attachment, ensure optimal comfort on the wrist, providing a pleasant and comfortable wearing experience throughout the day.
