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 stunning, with a custom typeface and syringe hands. The manual-wind Sellita SW210-1 movement is noted for its smooth winding action, and the 38mm case is considered modestly sized and wearably elegant, reminiscent of an old-school field watch. Some owners express a strong desire to own another after selling their first. Minor criticisms include glare from the sapphire crystal and the lack of a running seconds hand. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its exceptional enamel dial and refined wearability at the price.
