Pre-sale campaign: launching March 20th 2021 (17.00 gmt)
Delivery: during June 2021
Following the successful release and delivery of my previous models, I’m now excited to bring you my fourth timepiece: The DRZ 04 “Mondial”.The arrival of jet planes revolutionized the world of air travel, a Boeing 707 was able to travel from Paris to New York in eight hours with 180 passengers – twice as many as a propeller-driven Super Constellation, which took over 14 hours for the same journey. The DRZ 04 “Mondial” draws inspiration from this exciting time.


Dial:
The dial’s bowl shape was first introduced with the DRZ 02 back in 2018. This type of dial helps to create a seamless continuity between dial and case, it also creates a deep sense of depth and 3D effect on the whole watch. This kind of dial manufacture requires a CNC modelling process, unlike that used to produce a more conventional and simpler flat disc. The dials come in either matt (white or meteorite) or sunburst fumé with applied indices. The calendar disc comes in a matching dial color. The 04 comes in a Meteorite limited edition option as well.




Bracelet:
The DRZ 04 “Mondial” features a 316L stainless steel integrated bracelet (all links are articulated). This bracelet is extremely comfortable. Of course, this watch is my personal homage to one of the greatest watch designers of all times: Gérald Genta, who designed iconic timepieces such as Patek Philippe’s Nautilus, or Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak.
Your DRZ 04 Mondial will come with an extra folding clasp with 3 microadjustments and the proper endlinks so you can swap the butterfly easily in case you prefer to use your 04 that way. The extra clasp will come with the scratch resistant coating as well (and of course engraved logo)



There will be 5 variants, all with date positioned at 6 o’clock.
– Grey with BGW9 Super-LumiNova
– Blue with BGW9 Super-LumiNova
– White with BGW9 Super-LumiNova
– Green with BGW9 Super-LumiNova
– Meteorite with BGW9 Super-LumiNova (limited to 40 units) name of the Meteorite : Muonionalusta.


Swiss Made:
Throughout the world the reputation of Swiss made watches is unrivalled. Know-how, impeccable quality, aesthetic prowess, technical innovation: the indication “Swiss made” reflects all this, and much more. Assembled in Switzerland, the DRZ 04 “Mondial” sports the Swiss automatic movement Sellita SW-200-1 and comes in Elaboré version with an Incabloc protection system, a high quality and accurate mechanism for three hands with 38 hours of power reserve and a 28’800 A/h (4 Hz) frequency. Aside from the assembly and quality control undertaken in our Swiss atelier, each watch is inspected personally by me before being dispatched, allowing a final check to be carried out on the movement’s precision and options.

Hi Direnzo – I’ve noted the pending v2 of the DRZ 04. How does the v2 differ from the v1? Thanks
Basically new colors and drilled lugs on the case. that’s all. Tomorrow all information will be available thanks
Hi Sergio,
Any chance you might produce another run of this absolutely stunning watch?
I’m looking to soon purchase an integrated bracelet-style sports watch and of course the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 is on my radar but in all honesty I prefer the DRZ04.
Beautiful work Sergio. I hope to be the proud owner of one of your watches someday regardless.
Grant
Hello Grant!
I’m definitely thinking on re launching the Mondial, i sjust a matter of time (or timing) since I’ll be relaunching now the 02 and 03 as well. thanks!
Wonderful to hear Sergio, and thank you for responding.
I’ll wait on the purchase of an integrated bracelet style sports watch for the re-release of the Mondial. I do prefer it to the PRX.
I’m, tempted by the Grey or the Blue (the Green is also striking but I already own two green fume and sunburst dial watches in my collection). Would love to see a copper, ochre, or salmon colourway.
Stunning work Sergio. Lovely timepieces at an excellent price. I will follow with interest and hopefully own one of your pieces someday.
All the best!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m indeed working to relaunch it very soon due to demand, there will be new colorways, we’ll see!
Sergio
Do you have a news letter wher we can sign up for the launch dates of specific models? Would love a white Mondial!
Hi Jason, yes on my landing page scroll down until “stay tunned” don’t forget to confirm once I send you an email. thanks
Hi Sergio,
A DRZ-04 blue dial has reached Australia safe and sound.
Thank you very much … it is superb !
Congratulations on the stunning design and delivery of the Mondial range. Looking forward to your next design..

Best regards
Dear Olivier, I’m very proud to know you have been a loyal fan of my small and humble brand! each watch has been designed with lots of love. Glad to know you’ll have the Mondial very soon!
Merci Beaucoup!!! Sergio
How’s it going Sergio?
Great, starting to ship next week. Best
Hi Sergio,
Thanks for all of your work with this watch, I’m very excited to receive my white dial variant. I was wondering if you had an update on the delivery window though. Anything more concrete than “June 2021”? If not an exact date, should I expect later in the month, or towards the beginning? What order will the watches be shipped in? Will people who ordered earlier get their watches sooner? Is it based on location? Just a random order? Thanks again for all of your work here, looking forward to your response.
Hi Owen,
Shipping is still on June, I don’t have an approximate date. Yes I’ll start with those who purchased first. Cheers
Greetings,
Such a beautiful watch and clearly well thought out. It was difficult for me to determine which color to order as I love the green apple color, but the blue ultimately won out. I look forward to receiving my Direnzo this summer as a birthday gift to myself. (I will be 47 in June.) My question is in regards to the band. I had read somewhere that there may be plans to release a rubber strap at some point in the future. Is this indeed the case? If so, I am very excited to purchase such from you. Thank you in advance for your response.
Best Regards,
Jacob Hesselschwardt
Dear Jacob,
Thank you very much for getting on board with the blue Mondial, I’m sure you’ll love it!
Indeed curretnly working on developing a rubber strap, probably will be ready to deliver later this summer. thanks. Sergio
Hi Sergio,
Is swapping out butterfly with micro adjustable clasp a matter of spring bars or is it more involved process?
Can you ship with micro adjustable clasp attached instead of butterfly?
Thanks
Hello, swapping the clasp is rather easy, you just need to unscrew the butterfly and screw the clasp with their links.
I can do it for you, if you already ordered your 04 please send me your order number or complete name to sergio@direnzowatches.net if you are about to order one please leave a note during check out. thanks!
Hello Sergio,
Congratulations on a beautiful design of the DRZ 04. Would you be offering the red color on the gray dial as the meteorite dial model?
The red calendar on the grey model?, sorry no, I’m trying to offer distinctive elements for limited edition pieces. thanks
Bonjour Sergio
sorry but i’ll write in french !!
Félicitations pour la création de cette montre. Je recherchai depuis quelques années un montre 3 aiguilles sans complications GMT , Réserve de marche ou typée Sub, mais habillée.
J’avais trouvé en suède chez Sjoo Sandstrom avec son originalité mais trop tard car en série limitée, et pour d’autres mais pas de peps !!
La, je dois dire qu’elle est parfaite, j’adore le boitier qui me rappelle celui de la north flag ( qui était dans mes désidératas ), son bracelet, ses proportions et son cadran, sa présence !!
je n’ai pas l’habitude de commander une montre sans l’avoir vue mais j’ai flashé. Je l’ai choisi en vert ( mon second choix ) et dans l’air du temps apparamment aujourd’hui , n’ayant pas réussi pour celui de la météorite suite à un incident internet 🙁
je l’aurai bien vu avec la trotteuse noire mais c’est une histoire de gout et j’ai hâte de la voir arriver comme tout à chacun, impatient !!
bravo pour cette belle création !
a quand une lunette en céramique 🙂 ?
au plaisir …
Bonjour Monsieur Godin,
C’est un énorme plaisir de lire votre message, ça m’encourage à continuer à travailler puisque vous avez sélectionné ma montre et je sais bien qu’il y a un énorme choix! Ce vrai c’est bizarre acheter une pièce sans l’avoir vue en vrai, mais je suis fier de dire vous aurez une surprise sans doute positive. Avec mes meilleures salutations. Sergio
Got an unit for my self. However I also wanted another unit for a friend, however I noticed, shipping to an address other than billing address doesn’t work as it gets rejected.
Please clarify.
Hello Jonathan and thank you for your support. If the optional address is not working for some reason, you have the possibility to add a note during check out, there you can include a message with your friend’s address. thanks
thanks for clarifying.
Woohoo 😀 I was able to order a white one!
No the wait is started for receiving the watch…
Just snagged a white dial. Love all the contrasting black lines. Great job Sergio. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Thanks to Tim at Caseback , JOMW and Random Rob for all the reviews … helped me decide to take the plunge.
Thanks to you! and to them for spreading the word!
The meteorite sold out in less than a minute. I couldn’t get my order in fast enough. Sucks.
Got the White and Blue 🙂
Kya baat hain sir, aap toh collector type lagte ho.
Make a 38mm version and I will buy one in each colour.
omg I’ll be in line with you
Absolutely, 38mm and I am in!
Hello , the release is set this weekend . I am curious is the entire watch Swiss made and assembled ?
Hi David, The watch enters the Swiss made category by being assembled here and using a Swiss movement. Components comes mostly from Asia. Thanks.

Complimenti ancora per il lavoro e grazie
Fabrizio
Ciao Fabrizio!
Se puoi passare con una carta di credito o paypal, penso che paghi nella tua valuta locale. Grazie mille per il tuo messaggio! Sergio
Really Love the White, Blue and Green. Can’t decide 🙁 .
Hi Sergio,
So far, I can’t find any live videos or pics of the grey version. Did anyone review a grey dial watch and will publish it before launch?
The blue dial made a somewhat different impressions on video compared to the pictures on this site, so I hope i won’t have the order the grey version without a second impression 🙂
Thanks,
Jan
Hi Jan, Armand from watch chronicer will be featuring the grey one. Colors on sunburst dials changes a lot following lightning and background conditions…Thanks!
Hi, this watch looks very nice and your prototypes have had some good reviews!
Are any more reviews planned for the next week and if yes, will you link to them on your REVIEWS page when they become available?
I noticed the discussion on WatchUSeek and I fully agree with the comments on the possibility of having a choice of rubber or leather strap for this watch in the near future – a rubber strap in a color matching the dial color would make the watch even more versatile.
What is the expected accuracy of the SW200-1 movement in the chosen grade?
Regards Mikael
Hello.
Yes, there will be reviews by Jody, Armand, Worn & Wound and chrononautix comming along, I will indeed put them online on my press sections.
I’m working on providing rubber straps, but only 2 color choices (black and light grey) since there is a MOQ for colors and can’t do all of them.
My experience with the 03 is that 90% of them came running at around +6/7 per day. thanks.
Hi Sergio,
Nice design!
But 2 questions.
1. The white dial version, is the color of the hour indice frames black? seems other dial versions have indices with silver color frame. Just wonder if the silver framed indices would look better on white dial.
2. From Bruce Williams’ youtube review, at 5:49, it seems that the 7 Oclock marker is not attached well on the dial. And on Random Bob’s youtube video, at 6:59, it appears that the white dial has the same problem with the 7 oclock indice. More precisely, the left side of the indice.
Hello:
1. The indecies on the white version are painted black, on the other models they are not painted.
2. Not completely sure, it is looks like a lack of paint on the border, can’t confirm since I don’t have it here, either way this is a prototype and I’m sure all production models won’t have any issues.
Thanks, Sergio
Hi Sergio
Can you please elaborate on the scratch resistant properties of the case ? ie: how scratch resistant etc..
Yes, please provide more information about this hardening process and some information about life expectancy of the coating.
Hello, is a clear coating applied on the watch and bracelet with a resistance of HV 800 (is not a modified steel), it will help avoid scratches produced for normal wear. It doesn’t mean you can hit it and the watch will withstand it. I can’t measure life expectancy since that will depend on user. Hope it helps! Thanks, Sergio
Hey Sergio,
I love your work and the watches you are creating.
I’m from Germany. Can you tell me anything about taxes and customs?
Best
Hi Fabio! Thanks for your interest, yes watches are shipped from Switzerland so expect to pay import duties, not sure how much exactly on your country. Best
Expect to pay the standard 19% Mehrwertsteuer plus 0,80€ Zoll. If shipped with DHL, add about 23€, with FedEx 12,50, if I recall correctly.
Hi,
How long will this campaign last?
Pre-sale starts in March until delivery in June. Thanks
Correct me if I am wrong please, we can order in april or may and price will be still 599chf?
Hello, Price will increase to 650 CHF from April 1st, then from June 1st price will increase to retail.
thanks!
Thanks 🙂
Please don’t fiddle with the butterfly clasp; it’s perfect for a watch of such clean elegance.
I know! It will come by default, the folding been an extra. Best
Hi, that is a very good design, first of all congrats for that.
Does shipping fee included in price?
Thank you! Yes shipping is included, best
I’ve now seen two YouTube videos in which the blue version has a greenish tint to it. The dial colour is different from the one shown on this site. Is that due to the studio lights, or is that because these were prototypes? Or is the greenish tint what the dial looks like in real life?
Hi, Prototypes dials will be 100% exactly as production models, color for sunburst dials depends on lighting conditions and background. thanks
Hallo….ich habe interesse für Meteorit uhr…noch frage wie schwer sind die uhr…? Danke
same as standards, around 140gr with all links. thanks
Hello Sergio,
I like the DRZ04 and I’m going to follow the release for sure.
In case I buy one on pre-sale, would it be allowed passing by the factory to collect the watch?
I’m working in Switzerland
Hello Marcello, I’m located in Geneva, although I don’t have a physical shop we can surely meet to hand it over in person. thanks
like the blue one
Amazing job! What an absolute beautiful watch!
Beautiful!
Hi Sergio,
Good that you’ll provide an alternative clasp! But is the folding clasp really that much wider than the bracelet as it looks in the pic?
Looking forward to some more impressions of the grey dial, but I might buy it anyways 😉
Hi Jan! clasp is not so big, might be the perspective, either way it fits perfectly on the 18mm links. thanks!
Will there be any extra conditions for those who pick a few out of the collection?
Sorry not sure to understand exactly what you mean, could you rephrase? thanks
Sergio your both reading and then actually responding to these comments is incredibly appealing.
If only some other watch brands cared to engage with their clientele so much! And yes, Rolex I absolutely do mean you!
LOL, very appreciated Nick, this brand is my dream so all my energies goes here, is a true pleasure.
Oh man. Another gorgeous Direnzo design!
This watch would be even more attractive with a tapered bracelet (and given that it’s integrated, I think getting the bracelet design right is essential)
Congrats on another winner!
Hi Dave! it does taper from 24 to 18mm, cheers!
Awesome!!!
So perfection 🙂
Excellent looking watch! I’ll definitely be ordering one when the sale opens!
Will there be a limited number or if you order during the order window, you’ll be guaranteed to get one?
Hi Joe! Watches are under production and is a small run, I strongly recommend to be early, specially if you are going for the white version or the Meteorite. Thanks!
Hi Sergio,
Initially I was totally grasped by the blue dial. But after seeing the Bruce Williams review on Youtube I’m thrown off. The blue in the dial in that video looks completely different than what is presented on the site. Is that only the lighting effect or is the blue different than what we can see here?
Hello Mike, it is a sunburst dial so it reflects. Generally I do my pictures with a black backgroud so the dial reflects darker. If you have a white background or you are outside with a cast sky it will reflect brighter. thanks
Hi Sergio,
I’m concerned that the blue becomes too dark at the edges and it takes away the awesome smooth one-piece dial. Therefor I have decided to go with a white one. Can you write me down for one?
Thanks!
Hi Mike! thank you I’m glad you’ll be getting one! I won’t be able to make reservations, but if this goes too fast and you miss it let me know and we’ll find a solution…Best
Lots of originality and dare without being stupid. Well done. Definitely want one.
Hello Sergio,
I think this watch is absolutely stunning, but have a slight concern about the size. I’ve got 6.75-inch wrists and am a bit concerned about overhang, especially with the integrated bracelet. Do you think it would be best to wait for a later release, or will this not be an issue in your mind. Thanks for the time.
Hi Owen, thank you very much for getting in touch, I have a small wrist like yours and doesn’t overhangs or feels big, is a very comfy watch. Either way there will be soon many video reviews and you’ll be able to check them, I think Armand from watch chronicler has that same wrist size.
Thanks!
Thanks Sergio, I appreciate the response. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for the reviews.
Thanks for the response Sergio! Do you mind if I ask how large your wrists are? I’m looking forward to seeing the reviews. I’ve also seen you mention that the DRZ 05 will have dimensions of 39×47. This is more favorable for me, but I really enjoy the styling of this watch. Any chance you could provide a bit more details of the DRZ 05? Will it look similar? I fear that I may wait for the DRZ 05 to be released and like the DRZ 04 model more, but then be forced to pay retail price. This isn’t a doubt of your ability to make another stunning watch, just a testament to how much I like the way this piece looks. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks again Sergio, I wish you all the best.
Hello Owen!
My wrist size is 16.5 cm, the model on the pictures have a 18.00 cm.
The DRZ 05 will be similar to the 03 but in a super compressor style, I hope to start showing it around July/August 2021.
I’m very glad you love my watches, it makes me feel very proud that you might consider one!
Thank you and do let me know if I can help with more info. Sergio
Patiently waiting for some more reviews with real life footage and impressions, especially if the grey dial… will there be more bait soon? 🙂
I think very soon reviews will start to pop up, I’ll keep you all posted! Thanks!
Hello,
I have two more questions:
Can you ship to Costa Rica?
Can you add a video of the watches with close ups? That will help me to decide which one to buy.
Thanks in advanced.
Hello, yes I see no issues in shipping to Costa Rica.
There will be some video reviews probably with close ups. Best
Hello, any plan to make a red (deep red) dial for this model?
Hello, not for the moment. Best
Hi Sergio,
Is Swiss VAT included in the price?
When you will be selling to EU (Poland), can you do this with 0 VAT rate? We have to pay extra VAT anyway.
Hello Karol, since the watch is shipped to the EU I don’t charge VAT, but you’ll probably have Customs duties and (sadly) those are responsability of the customer.
Thank you very much! Sergio
Sergio,
Thank you for the answer. So 599f is the net price od price with VAT included?
599 CHF is what you’ll pay on my site, yes there won’t be a VAT since it’s an export.
You might be charged at customs depending on your country.
Thanks,
Fantastic looking watches. The white is just gorgeous!
Have a really hard time deciding which color.The white initially attracted me the most. But, I also like the grey and blue dials. just over a month to go.. better figure this out before the pre-sale goes live. I think need to add them all as screensavers so I can constantly look and hopefully one will stand out as the one to get.
Haha, thanks a lot Yip, I know you have an amazing collection, it will be an honour to know there is a Direnzo within.
BEst
Looks Fantastic ?
Hi Sergio,
Can you please tell me if the green and blue dials are the same shades as the ones on the DRZ 02 models? Yes, I have both plus a black 03. The green looks like it could be a little bit brighter than on the 02, but it’s always hard to tell from photos.
I’m tossing up between a green and a white, or maybe even both…
Cheers!
Hi Gary, both green and blue are almost the same, slightly more punchy (a bit more color or saturation, but same hue/tint)
I said if you go for one go for the white since you have green and blue 02. Only you need to consider the white is a matte dial and blue and green sunburst, so they qre quiet different…
Thanks a lot again for your trust and support and I’ll be delighted to know you’ll have a Mondial.
Best,
Sergio
Hello Sergio,
Great deishn like you re used to. After drz 02 in black drz 03 in red. I ll be in for the 04 !!!
I think too do the 250F to complete my collection…
I wonder if you re thinking about a chrono, with your design it would be fantastic and possible under 1000 euro?
Continue like that
Best regards
Thank you Olivier! I’ve been thinking about the chrono for a while..I still have some previous releases yet! Thanks for being a fan of my small brand.
Sergio
Sergio. You know me by now. I am weak for blue dials though. If I get a blue dial, I’ll have to sell a beloved seiko. However, I really love the white dial! but I have 2 white dialed watches (one is a wife gift) What should I do? I have the red DRZ-03 and the green DRZ-02.
Hi Thomas, two different watches since the white is matte hence more discrete and classy.. but if you are a fan of blue watches well the blue is just wow, is my most accomplished blue color to day and just shines… on top it could complement your range of Direnzos as you don’t have this color. Thank you!
Hi Sergio. I appreciate your advice. This year, June 16. My wife, Michelle and I will be married 15 years.
One of the 15 year marriage items includes a watch as well as crystal.
Well, actually, it’s crystal first, then a watch, but never mind that,.
The watch..
It will be the white face; in commemoration of our 15th wedding anniversary.
We will be in Hawaii at that time on the last full day of our well deserved vacation. Coincidentally, for the pre-order and also our vacation delay (think Cov) with a few months till our actual anniversary, (and delivery month too)
Will be privileged to purchase the DRZ-04. Please put my order In now. Lol
I will wait for your next iteration with a GMT to go Blue. Thank you.
Congratulations Thomas! I’ll send you an PM. thanks!
Sergio
Great designs Sergio! You clearly have an inspired vision.
I’m looking forward to the March 20th pre-order.
-j
Love the Journeish hands too.
Thank you!
Just a request to please add me to your mailing list. Very nice watches!
Hey Sergio,
Gorgeous piece, as always. Several of the most consistent complaints (that I agreed with) on the DRZ 03 Eclipse were the less than stellar lume and how the folding part of the clasp seemed to protrude from the rest of the clasp, making it less comfortable than more flush designs. It seems you’ve already taken both of these into account. The lume by using BGW9 lume and the clasp by replacing it with a butterfly clasp. With the lume, just make sure the application is good! I know you will as your work is always stellar.
And this isn’t a criticism, more a curiosity, what about this piece makes it more costly than the Eclipse? My uninformed intuition would have assumed the quick release bracelet and the multi-layered, dished dial of the Eclipse would be more costly to produce,
Stunning watches, keep up the good work and I look forward to watching Direnzo grow!
Hello Dean,
Indeed, the lume will be dramatically improved on this watch. AR coating as well.
The increase cost is due to:
1. Scratch resistance coating on case and bracelet
2. engraved rotor on movement
3. display caseback
4. better lume
5. matching color on calendars.
In fact I will probably make more money with the 03 than the 04…all these specs at this price is a bit insane…
We’re glad you are just a little crazy 🙂
lol…best wishes Seth!
Glad I got the 03 Blood Moon Eclipse. Love the red. Very well made and the design is a beauty to behold. And now the 04. Love the continuity of dial and case??. The meteorite ,white and gray dial appeals to me.
Outstanding job Sergio??
Thank you Rick!
Well I’m not taking anything away from the watch, it is a beautiful watch, that being said I have recently seen two micro-bands that are a integrated bracelet W/QR and you can change the straps with ease. So I feel for the price I’m not a fan of this one. I have the DRZ 02 & 03 and they are BEAUTIFUL Watches
Hi Sergio,
The DRZ-04 looks very appealing and stylish.
Will you do a Kickstarter campaign as well this time or only pre-orders through your site?
Hi Mike, only on my site. thanks
What a beautiful watch, How to pre-order ?
March 20th, here on my website. thanks
Looks so beautiful! How to pre-order?
March 20th, here on my website. thanks
Bonjour Sergio,
cette montre me plaît beaucoup.
J’adore:
le bracelet intégré,
la finition brossée satinée,
le relief du cadran,
les touches de rouge sur la trotteuse dans la finition météorite,
le fond de boîte et la grande couronne.?
J’ai quelques petites questions:
Si je comprends bien , la matière du cadran de la version météorite est réellement celle d’une météorite?
Les pré-inscriptions se feront uniquement sur votre site le 20 mars 2021 c’est bien ça ?
Encore bravo
Thierry
Bonjour Thierry,
Merci pour votre message et intêret. il faudra réaliser la commande ici sur mon site web le 20 Mars 2021
Il s’agit effectivement d’un cradran extrait du métérorite Muonionalusta decourverte en la Suède.
Avec mes meilleures salutations,
Sergio
Looks beautiful – where can we register our interest?
Sergio. I accidentally commented twice due to computer incident. Please disregard second. Was almost same.
Keep safe
Done, thank you!!!!!
ciao, mi piace molto il green dial, credo che sarò presente il 20/03; come mai non hai pensato a produrre anche una versione senza datario? grazie
Ciao Antonio! solo versioni con datario… grazie!
Hi Sergio,
Maybe a stupid question: Is the meteorite dial made of material out of a meteorite or what is the origin?
Hello Dirk, no stupid question at all…it’s taken from a real meteorite. they ave a specefic patter: “Widmanstätten patterns, also known as Thomson structures, are figures of long nickel–iron crystals, found in the octahedrite iron meteorites and some pallasites. They consist of a fine interleaving of kamacite and taenite bands or ribbons called lamellae. Commonly, in gaps between the lamellae, a fine-grained mixture of kamacite and taenite called plessite can be found. Widmanstätten patterns describe features in modern steels,[1] titanium and zirconium alloys.”
Thank’s for the explenation, Sergio. That also means every dial and therefore every watch is unique in terms of the pattern.
Exactly, also I’m adding in the post the name of the rock that came to the earcth and from which dial is being extracted: Muonionalusta.
Hello Sergio 🙂 I love my 02 and 03, thank you very much!
Will this model also be limited quantity or are you planning to make this one in perpetuity like the Type 250F?
Thanks again – this looks lovely!
Hi Seth!, well the 250F is a limited edition with serial numbers…just didnt sold as fast as the others mainly because it was my first watch. The 04 will be a small run but not limited edition (except for the meteorite version) so I’d be able at some point to produce more if needed.
thanks!
Great watch! Blue or grey for me, good that there is still don’t time for the decision…
A more technical question: is the dial-pan made from one curved piece or is it a flat disc and an additional curved rehaut?
Thanks!
The standard version is one piece bowl shape (made with a 3D machine), the meteorite version has a metal ring. thanks!
Hi Sergio, my son gave me an Eclipse gray for my birthday I’am very pleased, I have never heard of micro watch companies before, now I’ am inspired to have a small collection of wrist watches. Great designs thank you.
Wow, glad to know! thank you and enjoy your Eclipse!
Let me know order date and How I am in
March 20th 17.00 GMT opens pre sale on my website, cheers!
Hello, Sergio!
I am a big fan of your designs and own two of your watches (DRZ 02 and DRZ 03). I have had thoughts for a while, that it was time for steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet. And here you are with your fourth watch, what a surprise 🙂
I like the case of the new watch, but I must say there is something I dislike about the dial – hand shape combination. I am very sorry for my guess, but what if:
– the dial was matt (not only white one) with some bold contrast colors
-the hands were not skeletonized, but the same shape as on the DRZ02 – matt metal (I do like those F.P. Journe reminiscent hand the most)
-and all the hour markers were of the same size.
I can imagine that with this combination of very small changes the watch could have been even dressier and more outstanding.
All the best and thank you for your great work!
Hey my friend! let’s put it this way..watches are under production :=)
Best!
Very nice, probably will get the white dial.
However, I’m not a fan of the red logo on the caseback crystal. I hope it will be removed and added to the rotor, or at least make it black or white.
Such a great evolution on the DNA of the previous versions. I love the retro-futuristic hands and the bowl looks even more concave than the Eclipse (maybe because of the steel bezel?). All models look great, I’m tempted with the grey/meteorite dials (despite having the grey Eclipse). The blue one also looks stunning, like a mini-ocean on the wrist.
I’m also on the fence regarding the clasp (I’ve got tiny, bony, and hairy wrists) but might gift one to my older brother (large and hairy wrists).
PS: Sergio, is there any chance the DRZ 05 might come in a smaller shape? Asking for a hairy friend.
Hello and thank you so much for your message!, the 05 will be slightly smaller than the 03 at 39×47 but lugs will be more curved so I think should wear better for smaller wrist. best!
That’s great news! Thanks and take care!
I’ve had a desire to get a watch with this case style for years. I was very excited when I saw a post about these on WatchUSeek. Unfortunately the butterfly clasp means no sale for you. Bracelets need adjustment. If the bracelet had a clasp with at least 3 rows of holes I would have ordered a white one yesterday.
Beautiful! Would be awesome if you made a rubber strap available as well for those who aren’t able to get a perfect fit with the butterfly clasp.
These are truly stunning once again. The dial shape and hands are really interesting and unusual.
As others have commented it’s a shame there’s no red dial but they all look great.
This one isn’t for me personally as I am put off by the integrated bracelet (makes it difficult to change-up the look) and the butterfly clasp (I find them uncomfortable and they remove the micro adjust).
Here’s hoping the 05 comes in red with a milled folding clasp and a standard lug width 😉
All the best.
It seems will be…
Ok so I changed my mind and pre-ordered the grey. It’s all your fault for throwing in a dive clasp ?
Congratulations Sergio on another stunning timepiece release! You have managed to strike a balance between paying homage to Genta’s design while giving the piece a distinct peronality of its own, without going overboard on the styling. A true architect’s (arch-builder) piece of work!
Are planing one with no date?
Not this time. thanks
The white dial just seems to work so well with this design. Though, I am no fan of the butterfly clasp.
I wish that the meteorite version will have it all the way to the edge for 3D look. The rest of the colors do……. too hard to “bend” meteorite?
is a 3d process, Meteorite is super expensive and if you have to remove a lot of material then the dial would be super expensive. cheers
Can’t wait!
Great looking watches!
i want you watch like a millennial wants starbucks
hahahahahahahaha
I study Micro brands all the time and your DRZ03 is by far the best. In terms of aesthetics and design inspiration, it punches far above its price bracket.
Thank you so much!
Lovely design Sergio I might just have to pull the trigger on a white dial version. Any chance of a leather strap? The aged tan strap shipped with the DRZ03 is fabulous. It would pair well with this watch.
Can i ask of you re planning to offer a no date for the Gray version and all others as well?
All date models…sorry
( I love the date window size on my 03 btw, you nailed that )
Wow! Absolutely love it, it’s like DRZ-2 and DRZ-3 had a gorgeous baby!
Definitely see that unique Direnzo styling combined with some homage love, that meteorite version would look sweet! Beside my blood moon. ?
Just a beautiful design Sergio, all the variants are special, may have to purchase 2. Only concern is the bracelet clasp, not a fan of this style, with no micro-adjustments.
I know, but not too many options for this integrated bracelet type…cheers
Not got a Direnzo yet ,but this looks great .
Now is my thinking time .
Well done on a beautiful looking piece.
beautiful colors. I need volume discount:)
It’s a nice clean design, attractive. My only criticism of the last two DRZ03 watches I bought, is that the date window is too small and the lume is poor. Too bad the date window is the same size again. Missed opportunity not being a GMT watch considering the aviation inspiration. If it were GMT I would probably buy, but as is I won’t. Go with a Selita SW330 please…..
Beautiful watch, but you make some valid points. A gmt would be great. The lume in the drz03 is indeed underwhelming. Especially considering it’s a diver. The date size is fine imo.
GMT is expensive, not everyone can pa the extra cost. that will arrive at some point. Lumed is improved on this 04. Cheers
Lovely watch, you have outdone yourself again Sergio!
I especially like the Eiffel Tower looking hands.
Is it sapphire crystal for the display caseback also?
Any lume shots to share?
Looking forward to pre-ordering in March.
Hello, Yes sapphire on the back as well. on the post there is a video showing the lume, but images will come later. thanks!
Hi Sergio, Are the hands and indices on the white dial variant outlined in black or chrome? Continuing best wishes, Ian.
Hello Ian! thanks! black matte for the white model, polished natural (metal) for the rest. Best wishes my friend. Sergio
Hello, i’m new to the brand and really looking forward to the watch! Only concern i have is the bracelet – any chance you’ll offer matching straps as well? BR, E.B.
I’m working on a leather strap…we’ll see, thanks
Instead of spring break, I will buy a couple
I am in again! 3 out of 4.
Steady in top 3 favorite micro watch brands.
EZA- Direnzo-Feynman.
Keep going.
Thank you Edwin, that means a lot to me after all the hard work! Sergio
Amazing watch. Can’t wait to see a test video. I’ll be there on March 20. Price is VAT included or you have to add the fees ?
How’s the lume?
It will be dramatically improved over the 03. Cheers
Il meteorite è semplice spettacolare, complimenti ai designer… vorrei sapere quanto bisogna versare al momento della prevendita… grazie
Cia Fabrizio!

While I was hoping you were cooking up a GMT, this looks very clean and appealing.
I would have jumped on a blood red, since I went grey with the eclipse, but the green is probably calling my name.
stunning
I truly think this is a very beautiful timepiece. That said, I do not see any way to micro adjust the bracelet. not even any half links. Am I missing something, or is this the case?
Hello Larry, this butterfly clasp doesn’t have micro adjustments. links near the clasp are half links. Best
Looks great, I better start saving. Thanks
Sergio, one question.
Pre-sale will be on 20th or 21st? You have 2 different dates here – please correct it 🙂
20th, corrected. thanks for letting me know.
Very beautiful!
It’s a shame there is no red/burgundy one.
Amazing watch, can’t wait to see a review video. I’ll be there on March 20.
Price is VAT included or you have to add the fees ?
Hello, The watch will be shipped from Switzerland, you may have import duties depending on your country. Best
From France ?
Hi Franck, I ship from Switzerland. Cheers!
100% the red 03 is a stunner.
That meteorite dial with red pops is calling to me loudly. That is beautiful – but, all the dial choices look great in this run. Very well done.
Great looking pieces!!
Really looking forward to these. Great Job Sergio. It’s going to be hard deciding on just one…
Lovely watch and bracelet, but I prefer a fold-over clasp. Butterfly is fiddly and harder to adjust.
Blue or Green … ? Or ?
Stunning watch! Love the design but I am torn between the grey and the white dials. Both are my favourites, so I now need to make a choice.
Agreed! I really, really want to love the white, but I find the white hands on the steel/grey dial looks better balanced. But those are definitely my 1/2…
Hi Sergio, I am loving my eclipse, will the new release take a deposit or is the full amount due on preorder?
Hi Anthony, full amount, pre sale has a discount price, that’s why I’m not doing 50%. cheers!
Oh my God… those are stunning! Sergio You out mastered Yourself!
Superb. I”ll be there on March 20th!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G design, great colors. Still, I think I might just fall for the grey variant. Now we’ve got more than spring to be looking forward to!
I think it would be better to improve it to quick release.
Not sure if quick release is always better. Not as solid of an end link.
Agreed. Not much of a fan of quick release anymore
How can I booked 1 green?
From March 20th 17.00 GMT they’ll be available on pre-sale here on my website. thanks
Not much point in quick release with an integrated bracelet as you won’t be changing straps anyway. The lug width looks too narrow for a standard strap (unless it was stepped) and isn’t listed in the dimensions.
Yeah, you’re right. It doesn’t mean anything when I check it again. 🙂
Quick release is a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. Especially with a proprietary bracelet like this.
Amen….
