Direnzo DRZ07 Universo Aventurine ND - Swiss Made

This 37½mm Direnzo DRZ07 Universo features an aventurine glass dial, that can twinkle as it moves in the light, reminding us of a starlit night sky. We also carry Direnzo DRZ-07 Universos in a variety of sunburst dial colors. Please see our other Direnzo listings for details.

Why We Love This Watch

A great sports dress watch needs to do two things very well: Be a refined and good looking watch suitable for business attire and smart occasions, while also being a robust timepiece for leisure activities, which should include excellent water resistance, strong lume, scratch resistance, and shock protection, with dimensions that don't get in the way of an active lifestyle.

The good looks of this Direnzo DRZ07 Universo start with the gorgeous midnight blue goldstone aventurine dial, where minute cobalt particles in the dial pop in and out of view as the dial moves in the light. Your own personal Milky Way on your wrist! As expected from a Direnzo, little touches like how the size and shape of the lume on the crown echoes the minor hour markers on the dial add a lot of finesse to the design.

Of particular note is the 5 link jubilee-style bracelet, which we think looks very classy with some great curves on the individual links, and a nice mix of brushed and polished finishes that are echoed on the case. The clasp features a tool-less length adjustment system where micro-adjustments can be made at the touch of a button, and with the downward curved lugs and female end links, we think this bracelet should work well for wrist sizes from approximately 5.6 inches (14.3cm) to 7.5 inches (19.25cm.)

Equally at home on the beach as well as in the boardroom, the Direnzo DRZ-07 features 100 meters of water resistance, the same as many dive watches, a clear and easy to read dial with a generous application of Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 lume, a 316L marine grade stainless steel case that has been finished with an 800 Vickers scratch resistant coating, scratch resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, and an Incabloc shock protection system installed on the Swiss SW200 elaboré grade high beat automatic mechanical movement.
