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.
