The case-back which shows little wear as shown on the pictures. The dial is in beautiful condition for a roughly 25 years old vintage watch.

Anonimo was founded in Florence and consists of the legacy of Panerai and its former suppliers. When Panerai was bought by what is the Richemont Group today, they moved to Switzerland and many of the former staff and machinery were left behind in Florence. Federico Massacesi together with former Panerai boss and naval officer Dino Zei founded the Anonimo brand in 1997, taking advantage of the know-how Panerai had left behind. They continued to build sturdy watches with a nautical heritage.
All the Anonimo Firenze watches until 2012/2013, have superbly crafted cases and are almost all 500m or 1000m water resistant. The old Anonimo Firenze models were produced in Florence/Italy only until 2012.
