03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Anoma A1 Optical for its mesmerizing, individually carved dials inspired by optical art, featuring 50 concentric triangles that catch and play with light. The triangular case shape is also noted as natural and intuitive, contributing to a composed, mature, and expensive feel. The watch offers excellent value at £1,300, with its automatic winding appreciated, though some find the manual winding uncomfortable and the thickness just under 9.5mm not a key attribute. One owner felt the £1,300 price point for a Sellita SW100 movement was a bit steep. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Anoma A1 Optical highly for its unique, light-catching dial and engaging design at its price point.
