Farer PILOT SERIES II

Owners widely praise the Farer PILOT SERIES II for its purposeful design, remarkable legibility, and trademark use of color, with many finding its 39mm case and 45mm lug-to-lug dimensions to be perfect proportions. Some owners, however, find the watch pricey and note its use of grade 2 titanium. Opinions are split on the minute numerals on the black dial, with some finding them less appealing. One owner noted a misaligned Roman I index on a specific model. On balance, owners rate the Farer PILOT SERIES II highly for its unique dial designs and excellent wearability.

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.
