Astronomical Masterpiece - CKVN3304
CVDKVenus Zodiac
The CVDK Venus Zodiac brings the movements of our celestial surroundings to life against a deep blue Aventurine dial. At its centre, Venus, Earth and the Moon move around the Sun in real time, while the surrounding Zodiac indication shows the zodiac sign in which the Sun is located. The composition is housed in a 38 mm stainless steel case and paired with a blue ostrich leather strap.
A night skyin motion
The Venus Zodiac combines the CVDK Venus Planetarium with a deep blue Aventurine dial representing the night sky. Four separate discs form the astronomical display, three of which rotate to carry Venus, Earth and the Moon.
Venus completes its orbit around the Sun in 224.7 days, Earth in 365.2 days, while the changing position of the Moon around Earth creates a mechanical representation of the lunar cycle. Together, these movements form a continuously changing view of our immediate celestial surroundings.
Specifications

Venus Planetarium & Zodiac
At the centre of the dial, Venus, Earth and the Moon move through their real astronomical cycles. Venus completes one orbit around the Sun in 224.7 days, while Earth requires 365.2 days. The Moon revolves around Earth in 27.3 days, creating a mechanical representation of its changing position and phases.
Surrounding the Planetarium are the twelve signs of the Zodiac. The indication shows the zodiac sign in which the Sun is located, while the markers between the signs indicate the beginning of each new zodiac period, generally around the 21st of the month.
