What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CIGA Design FALCON

The CIGA Design FALCON is noted for its distinctive skeletonized dial and slim 11mm steel case. Owners highlight the unique back-to-front skeleton design, allowing the Caliber CD-02 movement to be viewed from all angles, and the comfortable H-linked bracelet. Reviewers praise its well-executed honeycomb dial and 36mm case size, though some find the 3-6-9 numeral layout too derivative. It is powered by the Miyota 90S5 caliber and offers 100m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CIGA Design FALCON for its innovative skeletonization and vintage-inspired design at its price point.

anOrdain Model 2

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exceptional, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, often described as stunning and liquid-like, with a custom typeface and syringe hands. The simple, rugged 36mm steel case is noted for its organic lines and comfortable wearability, and the hand-winding Sellita SW-210 movement offers a smooth winding action. The watch is considered to offer impressive value for its dial work. Some reviewers note the lack of a running seconds hand, a minute track on certain versions, and limited lume on the hands. Water resistance is rated at 5atm, and one reviewer found the AR coating prone to glare. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its exquisite enamel dial and strong value proposition.

From video reviewers

The hand-enameled dial is a significant strength. The watch's inclusion in the MoMA Store is also noted.
