The dial of my 721 has an incredibly calming effect on me. And for me, the Anonymos is simply great aesthetically. Much less is almost not possible (you could still omit the indices or Arabic numerals. But then you have arrived at Moser 😁).

In any case, the 721 was a wonderful companion on my third trip to Italy this year. Vico Equense-Capri-Napoli.

And definitely "under the radar" and not very ostentatious. Certainly not the worst idea for Napoli…

All the best and ciao, my dear watch friends
