Venezianico Bucintoro 42 pairs a white three-counter dial with a Japanese automatic chronograph using a column wheel and vertical clutch.
Bucintoro was the Doge of Venice’s ceremonial galley, a vessel associated with state occasions and the procession of the Regata Storica on the Grand Canal. Venezianico chose the name for its first chronograph, connecting the watch’s elapsed-time function with the city’s rowing tradition.
The central chronograph hand measures elapsed seconds, while a 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock and an hour counter below record longer intervals. Running seconds occupy the subdial at 3 o’clock. The tachymeter on the inner flange converts the time taken to cover a known distance into an average speed, and Swiss-made BGW9 Super-LumiNova illuminates the hands and hour markers.
The Japanese NE88A automatic movement is assembled by hand at TMI’s facilities in Morioka. A column wheel coordinates the chronograph commands, while a vertical clutch engages the timing mechanism. Its three-pointed hammer system returns the chronograph counters to zero together. The 34-jewel movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour.
The 42 mm 316L stainless steel case measures 49 mm from lug to lug. Its 11.70 mm thickness excludes the 1.90 mm double-domed sapphire crystal. The crown screws down, and water resistance is rated at 10 atm.
The stainless steel Canova bracelet carries polished and satin-finished surfaces onto the wrist and closes with a folding clasp.

The upper pusher starts and stops elapsed-time measurement. After stopping, the lower pusher resets the chronograph. The central hand measures elapsed seconds, while the counters record minutes and hours; the small seconds display continues to show the watch’s running seconds.
The column wheel coordinates the start, stop, and reset commands. The vertical clutch engages the chronograph with the running movement, helping limit an initial jump of the timing hand. The three-pointed hammer returns the chronograph counters to zero together.
Start the chronograph at the beginning of a measured mile or kilometer and stop it at the end. The central chronograph hand points to the average speed in miles or kilometers per hour on the tachymeter. The elapsed time must fall within the scale’s marked range.
Yes. Unscrew it before winding or setting the watch, then screw it fully back into place. The crown must be properly secured to maintain the case’s stated water resistance.
