The Watch
Here we have a 2021 Direnzo DRZ 04 Mondial White Automatic inspired by the Jet Age and the introduction of the Boeing 707, which could take 180 passengers in complete comfort from Paris to New York in just eight hours. The curvaceous 40mm stainless steel tonneau-shaped case protected with a proprietary HV800 scratch-resistant coating curves over your wrist with a subtle curve of the flat-ended lugs, polished and brushed surfaces transition with crisp flowing lines towards a lug-to-lug length of 48mm and a case thickness of 11mm giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown, a smooth polished and brushed bezel that holds a subtle domed sapphire crystal that sits above a stunning matte white bowl-shaped dial created using modern CNC manufacturing. Around the outer edge, we have an extended minute track surrounding applied large and small rounded baton indexes filled with BGW9 Super-LumiNova marking the hours, and an inner minute track has a round date window at 6 o’clock, sculpted Direnzo hands are tipped with SuperLumiNova and complemented by a lollipop counterweighted sweeping second hand, at 12 o’clock we the Direnzo motif and at 6 o’clock “Automatic” complete this striking timepiece. On the reverse, we have a screwed-down sapphire crystal exhibition case back, inside an automatic Sellita SW-200-1 Elaboré + Incabloc, 26 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour; this movement is their special (Elaboré) version, which is adjusted in three positions. The watch comes paired with its Direnzo integrated polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet fitted with a signed butterfly clasp, and screwed links and has a folded clasp with 3-micro adjustments in the box, all links are provided, plus an additional blue Direnzo rubber strap and the watch comes with its Direnzo presentation box and paperwork

The Brand
Direnzo was founded in 2016 by Sergio Godoy Di Renzo, an architect by trade who decided to take a watch design course for some fun. Moving to Geneva, Switzerland. Their first watches pay homage to his grandfather, who raced sports cars in the 1940s and 50s. The sleek designs of these sports cars inspired him, and later, plane design became his inspiration. All the time looking to expand the creative envelope of materials and durability. Releasing his watches through a Kickstarter campaign in 2017, achieving full funding in just 4 hours. His second campaign reached its target in less than a minute. Confident in his abilities and able to build a strong team around him, he launched his website and continues to see great success in his designs.
