Reviewers and owners describe the case finishing as basic but well-executed with a high-polish finish, though some find the cases plain and small. The anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) features a Sellita SW210-1 manual-wind movement and has 50m water resistance. One reviewer noted the 12.3mm case thickness, while owners report the watch keeps good time.
