anOrdain Model 1vsNOMOS Glashütte Tangente 33 karat

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.

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente's vintage, preppy aesthetic, with the 33mm version's smaller size making its polished case reflections less showy and more eye-catching. The power reserve on this model is 44.5 hours. Owners are split on sizing, with some finding the 33mm not much smaller than the 35mm, while others note that the long lugs can make even smaller models wear larger, potentially posing an issue for wrists around 6 inches.
