Bucintoro 42
The Bucintoro 42, reference 8221511C, is a 42 mm steel chronograph from Venezianico, rated to 100 m, on the NE88A automatic chronograph and a leather strap. Its NE88A starts the chronograph through a column wheel and a vertical clutch, the arrangement that keeps the seconds hand from jumping at the start; the name is that of the Doge's ceremonial galley.

Collector photographs
Taken by people who own this reference: their light, their wear, their patina. Not the maker’s photography. Where the maker hasn’t given us a photograph, one of these is shown as the main image above, always credited. A few are the Atlas’s own, and say so.
If this watch is in your collection, yours would be the first. A photograph on the wrist shows what a studio image cannot: scale, wear, and how the piece has actually aged.
How to get one
Venezianico publishes its current collection and its retailer or service network on its own site. Start there for what is actually in production; this catalogue records references whether or not they are still sold.
Check the reference number against the maker's own page before buying anywhere else. It is the one detail that is hard to fake and easy to verify, and it is what the specifications on this page are keyed to.
