The Unique Dial of this watch The term "Anonymous 3646" originated during the later stages of World War II after Germany occupied Italy, replaced Italian underwater demolition teams with Kampfschwinners. Germany took over the production of Italian divers' watches from Panerai. Rolex continued to manufacturer the watches with Cortébret movements, but the Italians produced the dials. They call them "Anonymous" because Han Wilsdorf did not want to be known as a Nazi sympathizer. Originally, the Italian Navy created the large watches with this dial to aid legibility in low-light combat conditions. After the war, the style faded away until it was popularized in the 1980s economic boom in Japan, Italy and Switzerland. It's used even today.
