Jewellery & Watch News
With Italian roots and Swiss made movements at their core, Anonimo watches perfectly epitomise luxury watchmaking at its finest with a unique mix of talents and visions from two remarkable cultures. The brand’s history begins in Italy, in the breathtaking city of Florence, and it is here where the inspiration for the brand’s excellence originates. The colour, elegance and warmth of Italy is beautifully reflected in each Anonimo watch while the exquisite technology within comes from Switzerland, home to the highest quality and performing movements.
Founded in 1997, Anonimo watches originally began to make their mark in the uncompromising world of diving, particularly amongst the famous Cooperativa Nazionale Sommozzatori S.c. a r.l (CNS) that performs diving services, such as the supplying of diving, pigging, hydrotesting, pipeline trenching, and remote operated vehicle observation services. The high performing diving watches were fully equipped with a screw in crown locking system and water resistant push buttons that provided water resistant ratings of up to 1,000 metres. Their famous Anonimo Professionalte was even tested and operated as fair as 2,000 metres.
Today, Anonimo watches continue to use these patented innovations while embodying the robustness and functionality that all modern day divers require. The brand has always used Swiss movements within their designs and in 2013, the manufacturer was finally awarded their Swiss Made label when they moved their headquarters to Switzerland. Despite the move, Anonimo made the decision to retain their philosophy: that every Anonimo watch was straight forward, elegant and showcased a unique design, perfect dial readability and a proven robustness.
Now let’s take a look at all the latest Anonimo watch collections…
Anonimo Militare Watches
The Anonimo Militare watch collection was first released in 2001 and was designed as a high purpose tool watch for Italian military navy divers. The designs remain just as useful for both the military and everyday wearers today with a patented crown design to ensure water resistant ratings of up to 120 metres and extreme durability. These diving watches are also instantly recognisable for their cushion shaped cases crafted from high grade 316L stainless steel or satin bronze.
There are a huge range of Anonimo Militare watches to choose from with stunning hand brushed dials in off-white, blue, black, grey or bronze. The Anonimo Militare Automatic watches showcase the SW 260 self-winding movement which provides a two-hand display alongside a unique seconds subsidiary dial and date window. The Anonimo Militare Chronograph watches, on the other hand, provide extra functionality with the SW 300 panda chronograph offering a 30-minute counter at 9 o'clock, central second and small second counter at 3 o'clock.

Anonimo Nautilo Watches
In 2006, military engineer Dino Zej joined Anonimo on a permanent basis to help develop the Anonimo Nautilo watch collection, a design that made use of high quality materials such as bronze. Their designs were inspired by vintage diving watches from the past but were presented in a contemporary manner with a unique crown at 4 o clock and a highly legible dial that can be read in even the most critical environment conditions.
Once again, we are spoiled with a variety of Anonimo Nautilo watches to choose from. The Anonimo Nautilo Classic provides a distinctive divers aesthetic crafted from bronze, stainless steel or black PVD alongside a statement graduated unidirectional bezel with ceramic insert. Meanwhile the Anonimo Nautilo Vintage watches are a dream come true for fans of past inspired watches with a subtle cushion shaped case, beautifully decorated Superluminova dial and ‘Côtes de Genève’ decorated oscillating weight.

Anonimo Epurato Watches
The brand’s latest collection, Anonimo Epurato watches were released in 2018 and were designed to bring a more refined and sophisticated finish to their portfolio of diving watches. Bringing back to life many of the codes of Italian elegance, the Anonimo Epurato watch pays homage to Florentine aesthetics with beautifully crafted handmade Italian leather straps, fluted bezels and finely detailed dials in an array of unmissable colours.
The Anonimo Epurato Bronze watches became instant favourites for their nautical bronze cases that naturally age and change colour the more it is worn. The galvanic green dial model is absolutely breathtaking and is unmissable when on the wrist. The Anonimo Epurato Steel watches are also stunning and come in a beautiful range of dial colours with sleek steel hands with Superluminova and a small date window at 6 o clock housed above scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass treated with an anti-reflective coating.
