anOrdain Model 2

Collection profile · 2019

anOrdain’s Model 2 is the brand’s field-watch line, pairing its in-house vitreous enamel dial craft with a more robust, crown-guarded steel case than the dressier Model 1. The collection was launched in 2019 and substantially revised in 2022 with a larger 39.5mm option, updated bespoke numerals, new colours, and evolved luminous hands.

Why it matters

Model 2 is the bridge between anOrdain’s artisanal dial identity and a more practical, sportier everyday watch format. It also serves as the architectural base for later material experiments, including porcelain, making it one of the brand’s key long-running pillars.
