Anjax is a vintage French watch brand associated with the French watchmaking tradition centered around cities like Besançon and regional distribution networks, such as Établissements Boullanger & Fils in Bordeaux.
The brand emerged during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1960s, a period when independent French brands leveraged local movement and component manufacturers to create accessible timepieces.
Enthusiasts and collectors appreciate Anjax watches for their retro mid-century aesthetic, functional designs, solid build quality, and strong value proposition. Owners frequently praise the brand for its distinctive vintage typography, reliable mechanical and automatic movements, and practical features tailored to everyday wear.
Key pieces from the brand include its 1960s skin divers and dive watches. These models typically feature 38mm cases, 20 ATM water resistance ratings, screw-down crowns, blued aluminum rotating bezels, and distinctive orange accents or large luminescent numerals on the dial.
