What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Airain Watches Type 20

Owners widely praise the Airain Watches Type 20 for its beautiful and faithful recreation of a classic model, highlighting its easily wearable 39mm case sizing and the pleasure of its manual winding movement. Reviewers note the pleasing "old radium" lume and the vintage military watch experience offered by modern construction. Some owners find the design timeless and clean, with one owner calling it "just perfect." However, reviewers point out that the vintage-style sapphire crystal can add glare, and the case is still considered a bit thick despite the manual movement. Strap hardware required swapping between included straps for one reviewer. One owner noted a small scratch on the crystal near the 12-hour mark. The movement's appearance is considered less attractive than many hand-wound chronographs by one reviewer. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Airain Watches Type 20 highly for its faithful vintage design and enjoyable manual winding action.

anOrdain Model 2

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exquisite, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, often described as liquid-like, and its simple, rugged 36mm steel case. The smooth winding action of the Sellita SW-210 movement is also a frequently cited positive. Some reviewers note the 36mm case wears larger than expected, while others find it perfect for everyday wear and elegant. Criticisms include 5atm water resistance, glare from the sapphire crystal, and the lack of a running seconds hand. One owner expressed a strong desire to reacquire their Model 2 after selling it. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its stunning enamel dial and wearability at the price point.
