On the wrist

The Model 1 Fumé takes the already craft-heavy Model 1 and gives it a more dramatic dial personality. The smoked edge adds real depth to the enamel surface, especially in the blue and green versions where the centre glows brighter before fading into a darker rim. It is still fundamentally a clean, map-inspired Model 1: polished steel case, compass-needle hands, restrained numerals, and no added complication to distract from the dial.

The trade-off is price and patience. At £2,690 ex-VAT before movement upgrades, this is well above the standard opaque-enamel Model 1, and the watch remains a build-slot purchase rather than an impulse buy. But the premium is attached to a genuinely unusual dial process rather than a cosmetic colour change, which makes the Fumé the more collectible Model 1 for buyers who want anOrdain at its most visually expressive.

Bottom line

A spectacular enamel-first dress watch whose value rests on anOrdain’s rare fumé enamel craft, not complication count — expensive, slow-made, and genuinely distinctive.

Who it's for

Collectors who already understand the appeal of anOrdain’s standard Model 1 but want the stronger visual drama of a smoked enamel gradient. The medium 38mm configuration is the safe all-rounder; small and large sizes cover slimmer or larger wrists.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you need lume, a date, bracelet-first everyday practicality, immediate availability, or the lower entry price of the standard opaque-enamel Model 1.

FAQ

Is the Model 1 Fumé automatic or quartz?

The Model 1 Fumé is hand-wound. There is no self-winding rotor, so you turn the crown — usually once a day — to keep it running, and it uses no battery. A full wind holds roughly 45 hours of running time.

What movement does the Model 1 Fumé use?

The Model 1 Fumé is powered by the Sellita SW210-1 from Sellita, a manual caliber with 18 jewels, a 45-hour power reserve, and a 28,800 bph beat rate. It is hand-wound, so a daily turn of the crown keeps it running.

How water resistant is the Model 1 Fumé?

The Model 1 Fumé is rated to 50 m. That is enough for hand-washing, rain and brief swimming, but not for diving or prolonged submersion. Whatever the rating, avoid operating the crown or pushers underwater, and have the gaskets checked periodically to keep it reliable.

How big does the Model 1 Fumé wear?

At 38 mm across with a 46 mm lug-to-lug and 11 mm thick, the Model 1 Fumé wears as a versatile mid-size watch. Lug-to-lug is the measurement that really decides fit, since it sets how far the case spans the wrist — 46 mm suits most wrists, and smaller wrists especially should check that figure.

What makes the Model 1 Fumé different from the regular Model 1?

The Model 1 Fumé uses a smoked-gradient vitreous enamel dial. anOrdain says the process began from an accidental gradient effect during kiln firing, then was refined to exaggerate the darkened outer edge and depth of colour.

What sizes does the Model 1 Fumé come in?

The current Model 1 Fumé line is offered in Small, Medium and Large. The medium configuration is 38mm across, 46mm lug-to-lug, 11mm thick, and uses an 18mm strap; the small and large options use different proportions.

Which movement configuration does this record represent?

This record represents the entry hand-wound Sellita SW210-1 configuration, because that is the official starting price. The same Model 1 Fumé line can also be ordered with automatic La Joux-Perret G101 or A1 decorated G101 movements at higher prices.
