VESUVIATE draws its inspiration from the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, capturing the essence of that powerful event. Our logo incorporates a depiction of the eruption, represented by a fireball. We chose to revise the fire flame to a fireball to ensure its suitability as a 360-degree logo for the watch crown and clasp. Located near the Bay of Naples in Italy, Mount Vesuvius is renowned for its eruption in 79 A.D., which buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii under a thick carpet of volcanic ash. This catastrophic event claimed the lives of around two thousand people and led to the abandonment of the city until its rediscovery by explorers in 1748. The most recent eruption of Mount Vesuvius occurred in March 1944.

At VESUVIATE Watches, our goal is to create the ultimate everyday tool-watch designed for individuals with active lifestyles. We engineer our watches to cater to the passions of divers, aviators, racers, sailors, sports enthusiasts, and more. Our aim is to provide exceptional quality and functionality at an affordable price point.

Explore our collection of rugged tool-watches crafted from carefully selected materials. We employ an industry-proven thermochemical surface treatment process that modifies the properties of the material itself. Unlike surface coating techniques such as PVD, CVD, and DLC that merely apply a thin layer over the metal, our process involves a thermochemical reaction. Through this process, nitrogen ions diffuse into the material's surface, resulting in a case-hardened outer layer. This treatment enhances hardness, wear resistance, and other desirable characteristics, making our watches engineered to withstand the most demanding environments while ensuring improved working lifespan, strain limit, and fatigue strength.

Note: Our industry surface treatment process should not be confused with surface coating techniques. Unlike coatings that may eventually peel, crack, or flake off due to poor adhesion between the coating and substrate, our process modifies the material itself, providing a durable and long-lasting solution.
