ANONIMO
MILITARE SPECIAL EDITION WRC
Anonimo’s Militare collection retains its crown at the top of the dial in part to remind you of its
sporty focus. And the crown’s patented case-top hinge and protection system, a remnant of
the Anonimo’s origins in Florence, are just a few of the design features that make an Anonimo
Militare watch among the most distinctive active-wear watches available.
Anonimo’s new special edition Militare is made using the colors of one of its collaborators.
Now well into its partnership with the FIA World Rally Championship, Anonimo launches the
Militare Special Edition WRC, a chronograph bathed in the green and black of the WRC.
As noted, this latest example of course includes the top-case crown, but also adds a grey
hand-brushed dial within a black PVD case. WRC fans are sure to see the green and black
tachometer and chronograph function (pusher, track, seconds hand and minutes) colors. Fans
will also note the green stitched Cordura-effect strap, but will be more impressed that each
strap has also been treated to be fire resistant, just like a driver’s racing suit. Finally, in tribute
to the Anonimo-WRC partnership, you’ll find a special WRC engraving on both the dial and the
sapphire caseback. Price: $5,325.

BR V2-94 R.S. 18 RENAULT SPORT F1 TEAM
This Vintage BR V2-94 R.S.18 model exudes the world of speed and racing in partnership with
Formula 1 partner Renault. It features a comfortable 41mm case in satin-finished steel, a carbon
fiber dial, and the black and yellow livery of the Renault Sport Formula One Team.
Under a curved sapphire crystal, the BR V2-94 R.S.18 carbon fiber dial has a yellow internal
minute track and two sub-dials with the chronograph accumulator in red for optimal recognition.
The bezel features a tachymeter scale which allows a car’s speed to be instantly calculated over a
given distance. This chronograph model evokes the sporting world of race tracks and paddocks,
with its numerals adopting the typography used for the Renault Sport Formula One team. Held in
place with either a steel bracelet, or the very racy two-tone pierced strap, the V2 is powered by an
automatic winding Swiss mechanical engine visible through the sapphire case-back enhanced with
an image of the Renault F1 car and its serial number. A threaded back and a screw down crown and
pushers allow for a WR rating of 10atm. Retail price is $5,400
CARL F. BUCHERER
MANERO FLYBACK
The Manero Flyback family is welcoming a new edition with a ramped-up retro style inspired by
Carl F. Bucherer models from the 1960s and 1970s. The new model is a stylistic update to the
popular Manero Flyback we first debuted two years ago from the brand.
The designers at CFB didn’t hold back on any retro-style enhancements. The stop-seconds
hand is bright red, adding a punch of color, while the printed chapter ring and tachymeter scale
encircling the dial are highlighted in red and white. The word “flyback,” stands out in red just
below center on the dial and above the single date window outlined in white at 6 o’clock.
The watch’s 43mm case is in stainless steel, with a beautifully domed sapphire crystal, front
and caseback. Inside you’ll find an automatic CFB 1970 caliber with hours, minutes, small sec-
onds, date and flyback column-wheel chronograph with minutes and seconds counters.
Adding to the watch’s retro appeal, the medium brown strap is pierced with a suede finish on
supple kudu (antelope) leather. Price: $6,900.
