Reviews

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

anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy)

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) for its beautiful, deep enamel dials and custom typography, which are the primary attraction and offer a unique, handmade aesthetic. The dials are noted for their legibility and how they reflect light. Some owners consider it worth the wait and expense, becoming a daily wearer. Reviewers and owners describe the case finishing as basic but well-executed with a high-polish finish, though some find the cases plain and small. The anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) features a Sellita SW210-1 manual-wind movement and has 50m water resistance. One reviewer noted the 12.3mm case thickness, while owners report the watch keeps good time. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) highly for its exceptional vitreous enamel dials and unique design at its price point.

From video reviewers

The enamel dial is a standout feature. Legibility issues were addressed by reluming the hands.

anOrdain Model 2

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.

From video reviewers

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