anOrdain Model 2 FumévsSeiko King Seiko Chronometer

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 Fumé for its exquisite, handcrafted Grand Feu enamel dial, noting its depth, texture, and unique Fumé effect. The Sellita SW210-1 manual movement is reported to keep good time, with accuracy around +/- 2 seconds per day. The 36mm steel case is considered a thoughtful design, though some find this size too small for a tool watch aesthetic. The 50m water resistance is considered low, and the sapphire crystal can exhibit significant glare. Some minor imperfections on the artisanal dial are noted, and the flat crown is described as feeling unfinished. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 Fumé highly for its exceptional enamel dial and thoughtful design at the price point.

Seiko King Seiko Chronometer 5626-7170 owners praise its rare grey and "Superior Chronometer" dials for their depth and sunburst finishing, which are best appreciated in person. The 36mm case is noted to wear slightly larger due to its lugs. The 5626 movement is recognized as a higher-grade chronometer-adjusted caliber than the 5606, keeping accurate time. A known issue with the 5626 movement is the quick-set date function's susceptibility to failure due to a plastic part, with no replacement part developments reported. On balance, owners value the Seiko King Seiko Chronometer 5626-7170 for its distinctive dial finishing and chronometer-grade movement, despite the potential date function issue.
