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 Vintage The Chief GMT

Owners widely appreciate the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT for its historical significance and homage to the 1953 original. However, one owner notes criticism regarding the main hour hand being a 12-hour hand on a 24-hour dial, which hinders its intended use and compromises the bezel's functionality, leading to a return. On balance, owners value the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT for its historical connection, though a functional critique exists regarding its hour hand implementation.

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.
