“Trying to make this short and to the point- this is the most accurate mech. I have ever owned- gained one minute in three months. It's beautiful but not over the top, a real conversation starter- but still subdued and classy- and it has a unique mvmnt and military history behind it- not often a piece checks that many boxes. I've had mine for months and I love it- works in casual or formal environments.”
“This is a remake of a 1960's mechanical chronograph made for the Chinese air force that used a movement with tooling and intellectual property purchased from Venus in Switzerland. It is updated with a sapphire crystal. It has a nice copper like finish on the dial with applied numerals. The ST19 movement (basically the same as a vintage Venus 175) is visible through the caseback and is a column wheel chronograph which operates smoothly with a nice feel on the pushers. The movement is manually wound and has a nonhacking seconds.
On the negative side, the dial is smaller than the case so it wears more like a 36 than a 38 mm and the case is relatively thick. It's good for my 6.5 inch wrist but if you're a bigger guy you may want to go up a size. Also the NATO strap has a cheap feel to it and I would recommend getting an alternate strap. Overall it is an amazing value for the money. Marc was great, very responsive, and I had the watch about a week after I ordered it.”
“Beautiful reissue of the seagull 1963. Has been running at +7s/day which is satisfactory for hand wind mechanical at this price point.
Great value watch. Best thing it has going for it is it is Chinese, so it's market value is lowered. Performs exceptionally well and is a great looking homage.”
“I love this watch. Pretty much a daily driver for me. The package came to me at the expected date and I couldn’t be happier with the product itself. Thanks.”
