Ventus Watches

Forged with layers of carbon to produce a watch built for performance. Lighter yet stronger than any metal.

We aimed to produce a timepiece that broke the boundaries of material technology. Normally used in watches or components costing thousands of dollars, we have made it accessible to most. 

After months of prototyping, the Black Kite was produced in a unique "Darkwood" carbon fiber. This carbon fiber is layered much like the patterns in wood and has an appearance unlike any other material.

Beyond appearances, carbon fiber (or CFRP to be exact) is highly valued for the construction of modern aircraft. Lighter and stronger than even titanium, it exemplifies the technological advances of material engineering.

Each watch comes packaged with travel roll, box and warranty card..

A reinterpretation of the classic WW2 pilot’s watch. Crafted from brass which develops a patina unique to you.

Brass is one of the oldest alloys known to man and was used for its gold appearance when new. Over time and use, this bright gold weathers to a rustic brown. This weathering is based on the environment the watch is being worn in, making it truly personal to you. 

While keeping the design of the dial clean and true to the original pilot’s watch, a sandwich effect was created for the Caspian. This involves the use of 2 dial layers to create a slight layered effect which could be appreciated up close.

A reinterpretation of the classic WW2 pilot’s watch.

The pilot watch (or Observation watch) was developed by the RLM (Reichs-Luftfahrtministerium, or Reich’s Ministry of Air Transport) in WW2 for use by navigators in conjunction with charts and other tools. One distinct feature of the watch was the triangle marker at 12 o’clock flanked by two dots. It gave a quick indication of the upward orientation of the dial during night flight. The triangle also functioned as a solar compass to find the earth’s true north when used with sextants, compass and data charts.

The Mori 2 retains the same classic design of the first Mori, with the addition of ceramic bezel inserts for some models. Build quality has also been improved to offer more value than before. New models have also been introduced, along with some of the previous favorites. 

Mōri Motonari 

“The legend of the three arrows” is a story about Mōri Motonari. In an effort to get his sons to work together, he gave them each an arrow to break. This was done easily, and he challenged his sons to repeat it with three arrows bound together. This proved to be unbreakable.

Our Design Philosophy - Inspired by the past, built for the future

From the lesson of Mōri Motonari, we wanted to design an awesome diver's watch by focusing on 3 aspects. The 'Three Arrows' story is reflected on the dial, when the dive bezel triangle, dial triangle and Ventus logo line up. 

Aesthetic Design

The Ventus Mori was designed with the diving watches of the 1950s in mind.

A highly legible dial and an unimposing case gives it a rugged elegance. The Mori is a watch that fits under your shirt cuff, yet tough enough to be taken on a dive.

The case is also made from Brass, a material which patinas as you wear it. This makes each watch unique to its owner and every watch will have its own story to tell.

The dial is produced with a sandwich effect which gives a sense of depth to it. The dial design was kept clean and legible, with a date wheel printed in matching colors to the luminous paint.  

Mechanical craftsmanship

Even though the Mori looks like a watch from the 1950s, it has been designed with the latest advancements in technology. Its slim 12.5mm case (without crystal) is able to withstand a very respectable 300m of water pressure.

To commemorate its vintage roots, the caseback features a diving helmet design that has been stamped to give it an amazing 3D effect.

The double domed sapphire crystal ensures scratch resistance during dives. A 120 click unidirectional dive bezel keeps precise timing and the brightest C3 or BGW9 superluminova glows brightly in the murky depths.

Inside, a reliable Seiko NH35 automatic movement ensures that your watch will run for years without ever needing a battery.

Production Quality

Each watch is built to last and this will be achieved through precise production and careful assembly techniques. Having worked with our production partner on many projects, we are confident that quality will exceed expectations.
