About Fiyta, you guys are more familiar with it than me, it is also more famous than other watches I introduced on my blog, certainly except Sea-gull, after this is the greatest national brand of China. Fiyta has a long history, it was founded in 1987 in Shenzhen of China, it is the only one listed watch company in China. Fiyta watches use movements supplied by Sea-gull, their watches have a very close style to the design of Swiss watches. I have several Sea-gull watches, but I never bought one Fiyta watch before, so this pilot’s watch is my first Fiyta watch, it has a price higher than that of the other watches in my collection.
I do not know if it is the J-20 model that made me decide to buy this watch, the J-20 fighter model sent with the watch is really attractive, certainly the watch is also a solid timepiece, the iron box is specially made for this special edition watch, Fiyta also shipped on extra band inside the box. There are black and blue models for this watch to choose, and I select the blue one, which comes with a blue dial and blue leather band.
On this Fiyta, its case profile and dial style describe a classic pilot’s watch. The case is made of 316L stainless steel, with a diameter of 42mm and 12mm thickness, the case and bezel are smoothly polished, versus two brushed sides, seeing from the side, the case has a beautiful arc with round and smooth corners that are perfectly polished. The screw-down crown feautres a sanded finish star logo on the polished face. On the solid case back that is fixed by star-shaped screws, there are a few engravings with their meanings. When take a closer look at its case and dial, I found this Fiyta has a similar outlook to IWC Big Pilot.
The blue radial dial has a delicate finish, there are three small dials, each has their own useful purpose. The big numeral hour markers refer to the design of IWC Big Pilot, they have been applied with lume material, so are the broad hour hand and minute hand in sword shape. Fiyta claims that the lume light can glow more than 4 hours in dark environments after absorbing enough light. The subdial at 6 o’clock is for time display in 24-hour display, the 3:00 subdial features a small hand pointing at currect month, its opposite subdial at 9 o’clock is week display. Each small hand on these subdials has a red tip, just like the central second hand. You can adjust the month by pushing the button at 2 o’clock, other features like time, week and date can be adjusted via the screw-in crown.
The blue leather band is made with calfskin leather, it feels with soft to wear, two loops help to fasten the end of the band, the pin buckle in stainless steel also looks very distinguished, I like it.
