The history of this Anonimo Nautilo VintageThe House of Anonimo drew its roots from the heart of Florence when the famous Tuscan military manufacture was acquired in 1997. Faced with the departure of production to Switzerland, Federico Massacesi decided to preserve this unique local watchmaking expertise by founding his own entity. He was soon joined by Dino Zei, a leading figure in Italian diving watchmaking. It was Zei who designed the original lines of the brand's watch, conceived to meet the demands of deep-sea professionals. The fascinating anecdote about this model lies in the asymmetrical positioning of its crown. Placed at 4 o'clock, it prevents any injury to the back of the hand when the wrist is flexed underwater. Now made in Switzerland, the Nautilo Vintage reference AM-5019.17.105.I02 perpetuates this technical heritage while adopting retro aesthetic codes that are particularly appreciated by collectors.Case, calibre and bracelet of this Nautilo VintageThe 42 mm case cut from a block of stainless steel offers a remarkable presence on the wrist. Its robust geometry is accompanied by a unidirectional rotating bezel with an ultra scratch-resistant brown ceramic insert. The matt beige dial contrasts subtly with the ceramic and features luminescent applique hour markers for optimal readability in the dark. The date display is set in a discreet aperture at 6 o'clock to preserve symmetry. The timepiece is driven by the Sellita SW200-1 calibre self-winding mechanical movement, which guarantees a power reserve of 38 hours and oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. This Swiss heart, renowned for its great reliability, is housed in a structure guaranteeing proven water-resistance to 200 metres. The whole is adorned with a handmade brown leather strap enhanced with beige stitching and fastened with a steel pin buckle.Why this Anonimo watchAcquiring an Anonimo timepiece represents a strong choice for the lover of fine mechanical watches looking for an alternative to traditional Swiss divers. This precise configuration combining a clear dial and a chocolate-coloured bezel is unusual on the market.
