Patents
In its constant research and innovation, Anonimo holds exclusive international patents: the Kodiak process, The Crown Vanishing Locking Device applied to the Militare models, the U-Lock system and the revolutionary push-buttons applied to the Professionale Crono 6002.
The Kodiak Process:
Leather is rarely resistant to water, particularly when the salt content is considerable. Current waterproofing treatments reduce leather porosity and compromise the transpiration properties. The exclusive Anonimo Kodiak Process allows leather to maintain unchanged its features of porosity and transpiration whilst allowing our straps to be worn in water without damaging the leather. It does not make the leather simply water-repellent but allows hydrols to pass through even after a long lasting immersion affording our straps a positive experience when worn in water. This capability completes the ability of our watches to link fashion with function. The Crown Vanishing Locking Device: The Anonimo patented system, exclusive on the serie of the models Militare, allows for innovative water resistant and crown protection security, whilst providing a unique and functional crown- winding and time- setting apparatus. This particular locking device also resolved the aesthetical and functional disadvantages due to the current crown locking tools and to their lateral encumbrance.U-Lock System:
Anonimo is proud of the innovative locking system, exclusive to the Professionale models watch case, highlighting the importance that waterproof concepts and functions contribute to our philosophy. Industry recognition provided Anonimo the opportunity to be chosen to develop a professional relationship with one of the most important deep-sea diving industrial companies in the world, C.N.S. Cooperativa Nazionale Sommozzatori. C.N.S. experienced divers and diving supervisors have spent more than 20 years on many of the most significant industrial diving challenges and has faced an endless sequence of challenging projects at various water depths in many countries around the world. Thanks to the extensive research and input by C.N.S. professionals Anonimo has been charged with the opportunity to implement radical changes and to create features for an enhanced diving watch that has never been available to professional divers, before according to C.N.S. The Anonimo Professionale models feature an extreme strength oversized watch case, ergonomically finished with an advanced locking waterproof system which alleviates torsion on the O-Rings, and is easily repaired in emergency conditions without special tools. The system exclusively operates with great dimension screws and bars that allow the watchcase to open or be released without the watch movement needing to be removed. The locking system of the bezel and back cover works with external female tread bars, easily replaceable, and connected to the back cover, on rotation hinges at h. 9.00.Professionale Crono Push Buttons:
In 2006 Anonimo also introduced the Professionale Crono, a mechanical chronograph featuring a revolutionary couple of push buttons, conceived and designed in collaboration with Boninchi, one of the great industry of watch components. Anonimo is in the process of receiving a patent for their innovative watertight system which prevents not only unintentional chronograph operation, but most of all it assures their waterproof unlike the traditional buttons.
