More money, more watch, less magic

Here anOrdain goes bigger and automatic, at 39 mm with a Sellita automatic giving 56 hours and a closed back. The aqua enamel dial is still lovely, a clear, slightly milky blue, and the brand's discipline about leaving the dial mostly empty survives the step up.
But 4,945 to 5,325 dollars is a big leap. The extra size makes the dial a little less intense, the closed back hides the movement, and the price puts it alongside Nomos Neomatiks and the cheaper end of Grand Seiko. For most people I'd suggest the Model 1 instead. For those with larger wrists and a love of enamel, this is the one that fits.
