The alchemy of each enamel's reaction to silver produces unique outcomes, some with crystalline appearance, and others a smooth pebble-like finish. The apparent solidity of the orange dial is undermined by the silver beneath, creating a subtle iridescent colour duality.

The Brown Fumé is the last of the original Model 2 series - and the final fumé of the collection. Subtly scintillating, the dial’s warm resin tones shimmer invitingly on the wrist like a fine malt caught in the evening sun.
The subtle tones of the off-white dial encapsulate what makes enamel such a complex material. In some lights, it appears pure white; grey in others. This is a dial that rewards close inspection.
There's no missing this dial; whether it reminds you of raspberry jam or a classic cartoon doughnut, the mottled bright pink enamel is sure to make you smile.
From the Scots Gaelic for mountain, Torr Blue evokes the blue haze which one experiences looking out at distant peaks from the top of a Munro. This unusual enamel exhibits a slight translucency and is applied to a copper base giving a real sense of depth, whilst making the silver and black outlined printing stand out.
Midnight Green was developed in tribute to the Cairngorm mountains at night where, during the summer months, it's never fully dark. At a glance the Midnight Green dial appears black, but with a richness that black could never have. On close inspection, and under a ray of sunlight, the bottle green depths are revealed beneath the enamel's surface.
Whether it be deep broody sunsets or heather on the hills, no highland palette would be complete without purple. Realised in enamel, the colour is rich and fruity with a fine pigment texture, a serendipitous consequence of this brilliant enamel blend.
This grey enamel really captures the shading of so many a dreicht Highland day where the colour of the hills, sky and foreground blur into one, muted atmospheric scene. Applied to a watch, a grey dial is a wonderfully neutral colour which can be worn with anything.
We named this enamel Hebridean Blue not because it's reminiscent of a particular sea or sky, but more because of the calm, peaceful feeling this soft, almost chalky blue gives off. Tranquil, like dusk on a Summers evening on one of the many beaches on the West Coast.
We spent a lot of time working with white enamel in the early days of anOrdain, but with so many colours to choose from it was ultimately overlooked as a choice for our first release. When we prototyped this dial we knew it had to make the line-up - the blue ink sets off the porcelainesque enamel evoking a sense of light, breezy summer days.
Whilst some watches are inspired by fighter pilots, deep sea divers and racing cars, we've taken our cues here from the Sphagnum genus of mosses, commonly found blanketing highland peat bogs. Rather like the purple, this enamel yields a brilliant pigmented texture, giving this soft green dial an almost speckled finish.
