The British brand Anoma Watches unveils its first creation, the A1, an automatic watch with an asymmetrical design inspired by the 1950s. This unique piece combines vintage and modernity at an affordable price, thus offering an original alternative to classic watches.
A triangular case that is out of the ordinary
The particularity of the Anoma A1 lies in its triangle-shaped 316L stainless steel case. Measuring 39 x 38 mm with a thickness of 9.45 mm, this watch is easy to wear thanks to the absence of horns. The polished case reflects light in all directions, creating a fascinating play of reflections on the wrist.
The triangular dial is slightly offset from the case, accentuating the asymmetry of the watch. Made up of three layers of blue lacquer on a vertically brushed background, it features a cross pattern reminiscent of vintage watches. The leaf hands with exaggerated curves perfectly match the shape of the case.
A reliable and precise automatic movement
The Anoma A1 is equipped with the Sellita caliber SW100, a compact automatic movement with a power reserve of 38 hours. If a manual movement would have made it possible to reduce the thickness of the watch, the automatic proves more practical on a daily basis, in particular because of the position of the crown on the tip of the triangular case.
A high quality Italian leather strap
The watch is offered with an 18mm wide grained Italian leather strap, available in gray or sand. Attached to the case by classic spring bars, it ensures optimal comfort on the wrist. The Anoma buckle adds an elegant finishing touch to the whole piece.
An affordable limited edition
Pre-orders for the Anoma A1 are open from June 6 to July 6 on the brand's website, at a price of around โฌ1,500. If it is not a limited edition, the first 100 copies will be individually numbered. Once the pre-order window closes, Anoma will no longer produce this specific configuration of the A1.
With its bold design and careful finishes, the Anoma A1 offers an affordable and original alternative to traditional shaped watches. It will appeal to fans of vintage watches looking for a unique piece combining heritage and modernity. Delivery scheduled for January 2025, subject to pre-order.
The brand grants a two-year warranty on all its watches. The Anoma A1 is an exceptional creation that is sure to turn heads and attract the attention of fans of atypical watches. So, are you ready to succumb to the retro-futuristic charm of this triangular watch?
