Awesome Saturday lineup 3T!
Going with the newby Anonimo Hi-Dive to start...
(Definitely a break away from the "clean and uncluttered" designs that I love from Anonimo...I was a bit concerned that the dial design might be a bit too busy for me, but there is something about this one that "works", and I'm liking it quite a bit so far in the flesh...).
Chris, this is just beautiful, bro! The minute hand looks to me like a parachute that just opened. Is this why it's called the Hi-Dive? This is a small departure by the brand from the usual diver or land-based watch. I love it. Enjoy it in good health for a very long time.
Jeff...thanks bro!!!
You have not missed anything...the postman delivered this one yesterday. It's one of those pieces from Anonimo that I've been mildly aware of, and I had an opportunity to pick this preowned one up at what I believe was an irresistable price...so I jumped!
I definitely see this one as a bit of a departure for Anonimo, although they do have some very wild dials in the lineup. I like your comment about the minute hand looking like a parachute (I really had not interpreted it that way...I always like the way you really study the details of a watch design...
. I have not been able to come up with alot of information on the Hi-Dive which is a limited run, but I will definitely plan to post it up in the new arrivals area with more pics. As far as I know, Anonimo's intent with this one is as a diver...this is the Model 2011 which is produced in both a black and white dial version...has 120 atm of water resistance so it has the deep dive covered...It's a 'big-crown' Polluce style case that also has Millemetri references on dial and case back...one of the more interesting design elements is definitely the extra thick dial with differentiated luminous coating: central hours scale and hand treated with Green Superluminova... minutes plots and hand on the ring treated with Red Superluminova... and continuous seconds scale and hand treated with White Superluminova.
