2018 basel review ANONIMO EPURATO The new design retains Anonimo’s well-known cushion-case but marks a turn for the elegant with both a smaller case diameter and a traditional crown location at 3 o’clock. The first model in this new collection debuted in bronze, a case metal Anonimo helped popularize since it began offering bronze-cased dive watches in 2006. Epurato’s dial is distinctly Anonimo with its large Arabic 12, 4 and 8, set to trace a triangle across its broad dial. There’s a crown guard here as well, echoing Anonimo’s Nautilo collection. But here Anonimo plays it traditional with a crown at 3 o’clock instead of at 4 o’clock as on its Nautilo collection, or at noon, as seen on Anonimo’s Militaire line. A Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, visible in part through a transparent caseback, shows a beaded movement endowed with a skeletonized and Côtes de Genève- decorated rotor. Also offered in steel and black PVD cases. Prices start at $3,185 for bronze models. 80 | INTERNATIONAL WATCH | SUMMER 2018
