Ok...so one of my grail space pieces arrived today. I don't see too many of these around, but I have always really liked the Anonimo brand (their philosophy, vision, the way they build their timepieces, and for some of their more simple "entry level" models...the simple, understated design). I had an opportunity to pick up this Black Dial D-Date at a price I could not refuse, so I bit. This is my very first Anonimo and also my first with the ETA 2834 calibre (a cousin to the 2824 with day-of-week spelled out in full). This is definitely one of those that you need to hold in your hand to appreciate, but the case on this is simply spectacular from the varied finishes to the actual workmanship...stunning! Everything on this exudes quality (and it should based on the list price!!!)...from the case, to dial detail, to the lume, to the operation of the screw down crowns, to the amazing smooth feel when winding the ETA 2834...top notch all the way. Watch wears larger than the 42mm case dimension would suggest due to the case design. In a nutshell, VERY happy with this grail piece...a timeless design IMO, that I could pass down to generations. I'm loving it!!! Specifications: Movement - Automatic ETA 2834-2 modified with the day/date upsetting for better readability, soigné finish, 4 Hertz. Power reserve 40 hours. Functions - Hours, minutes, sweep seconds, full day and date displays. Date at h. 12, day date at h. 6 Watch Case - Sand-blasted and satinated AISI316 Plus stainless steel manufactured in three components; 42.00 mm diameter, screw locked back cover and bezel; screw locked crown at h. 3 and screw locked helium expulsion valve at h. 8. Domed sapphire crystal. Water Resistance - 50 ATM 51 ATA Dial - Oversized Arabic numerals, baton hands and indexes treated with luminous coating for superior day/night readability; full day window positioned at h. 6, date window at h. 12, concentric seconds/minutes scale toward center. Strap - Strap is secured to case with rod and double screw assembly. Manufactured and hand finished in patented Kodiak process calfskin to allow for extended immersion in fresh and sea water (24 continuous hours). Anonimo engraved on reverse of stainless steel buckle. Quick pics (in not so good lighting) will have to do...It is pouring rain here and we won't be seeing any sunshine for the next few days.
