Anonimo Militare Chrono Flyback

Anonimo is a Florentine matchmaking company founded by Federico Massacesi, a respected designer and entrepreneur in 1997. The company attracted a lot of attention already from the start and its timepieces designed and manufactured by a team of skilled watchmakers and craftsmen became a major success in a very short time period. Despite being relatively new on the market Anonimo introduced several innovations among which are probably best known the Kodiak process which makes the Anonimo leather straps resistant to corrosion by the sea water and the crown vanishing locking system protecting the crown which is positioned at 6 o'clock in contrary to the vast majority of other timepieces which have the crown on the side of case.

The Anonimo watch collection is marked by the Italian sense for design and innovative approach which successfully combines the tradition and the newest technology. Each timepiece expresses the company's philosophy which bases on originality, excellence and functionality, while the Militare Chrono Flyback is definitely one of the most recognizable Anonimo's timepieces. It features 47 jeweled automatic Dubois Depraz 42035 chronograph module with flyback function and ETA 2892A2 base module. Watch case of diameter 43,4 mm is sand-blasted and satinated AISI316 Plus stainless steel with domed sapphire crystal which makes it scratch resistant. The chronograph module is rotated in relation to the automatic movement so that the crown is positioned at 6 o'clock. One of the most distinctive features of the premium watch is the crown patented vanishing locking device which is integrated with watch strap and protects the crown positioned at 6 o'clock. The strap is made in patented Kodiak process calfskin which means that the strap is resistant to corrosion by the sea water (24 hours of continuous immersion). The push-bottons positioned on the left side of the case are rectangular (at 8 o'clock) for start/stop and round (at 10 o'clock) for flyback/reset. Watch case also features the exhibition back with flat sapphire crystal which allows viewing of the movement.


Hour indexes, baton hands and leafy second hands on very thick black dial are treated with luminous coating which improves legibility in both day and night. Small second counter is at the 9 o'clock, 30 minute counter at 3 o'clock and 12 hour counter at 12 o'clock. The dial also features a central hand for chronograph seconds and a magnified date window at 6 o'clock. The exceptional men's watch has a power
