Among these Chinese watches reviewed on my blog, actually I like Borman more than Sea-gull, however, this brand only makes models in one style, which is Glashutte style. The watch company that registers this brand claims it is made in Germany, but is is certainly a Chinese brand. I have introduced several Borman watches, they look like complications, each of them has an unique or multiple functions, most importantly, their appearance is really elegant, which has learned the design essence of German or Swiss watches. Today, I will show you another Borman watch you may be interested in, it looks like and has a dial design which I think most watch fans can not resist its charm, even though it has a false moon phase.
The watch is big, which has a case diameter up to 42mm and is measured to be 11mm in thickness, the case has arched lugs that will fit your hand in a more comfortable way, the lugs seem to be integrated with the case seamlessly, a little round shape that is in line with the smooth round bezel, but they are brushed rather than polishing on the bezel. Through the see-through crystal back, you can see an automatic movement inside that has golden rotor and movement plates, no brand logo on the auto rotor, not sure where this movement comes from, but the accuracy is acceptable.
The dial has special patterns, one indicator at 12 o’clock and one opening at 6 o’clock, they are symmetrical, while the two rosy jewels have broken this symmetrical beauty on the dial. The printing ‘DUAL TIME’ means the indicator at 12 o’clock offers a time display in 24-hour format, this indicator also offers Sun and Moon imaging, not moon phase. Sword-shaped hour hand and minute hand on the center, you can see a blue small second hand above the opening at 6 o’clock, it moves along with the working balance wheel. The dial completely presents the design concept of Borman.
The watch is equipped with a black leather band that comes with a deployant clasp, the band is made with genuine calfskin leather, which is soft and durable. By the way, do not wear it when swimming, even the watch has a good water resistance due to its screwed down crown and back.
