What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Airman GMT

Owners widely appreciate the Glycine Airman GMT's classic pilot design and consider it a well-built watch, with some noting the 39mm models offer perfect sizing and 200m water resistance. Reviewers praise the plexiglass crystal and matte dial, while some owners find the GMT hand visually similar to the minute hand, making it difficult to read. Accuracy from the Sellita-based movement is described as acceptable, though dial lume pips are noted as weaker than the hands. On balance, owners and reviewers value the Glycine Airman GMT for its faithful reproduction of a classic pilot watch design, despite some legibility concerns with the GMT hand.

anOrdain Model 1

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 for its exquisite vitreous enamel dial, noting its depth, unique light play, and custom typography. The watch is also commended for its comfortable wearability, elegant design, and appealing price point for its handmade processes, with an 800 vickers hardened case resisting scratches well. Some owners report the Sellita SW200-1 movement's rotor is noticeable and the watch lacks lume. Significant wait times, potentially exceeding two years, are a frequently cited drawback. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 highly for its exceptional enamel dial and handcrafted aesthetic at the price.

From video reviewers

Thoughtful finishing and beautiful color options are notable strengths of the anOrdain Model 1. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively long, which may not suit everyone's wrist size, and the relatively low 5ATM water-resistance may limit its suitability for swimming or diving. Reviewers disagree on the movement used in the watch, with some mentioning the Sellita SW210 or La Joux Perret G101, while others mention the Sellita SW200.
