The watch features a 35mm cushion case with a blue-grey hour track on a brushed salmon dial, accented by black hands and Roman numerals, and houses a manual-wind Sellita SW210-1 movement with decorated bridges and blued screws. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer 35mm Cushion Case - The Dial Artist Limited Editions highly for its unique dial artistry and distinctive cushion case design.
The anOrdain Model 2 is widely praised for its exquisite, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, with owners comparing its quality to traditional Japanese urushi dials. Reviewers highlight the dial's custom typeface and syringe hands, as well as the simple, rugged 36mm steel case inspired by field watches. The manual-wind Sellita SW210-1 movement is noted for its smooth winding action. Some minor criticisms include the lack of a running seconds hand and a minute track, and the AR coating's glare. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its stunning enamel dial and excellent value.
The hand-enameled dial is a significant strength. The watch's inclusion in the MoMA Store is also noted.
