How about the popularity of Shanghai watch? I do not know how popular it is in your country, maybe you have not heard of this brand, but Shanghai watch had been very hot during a period in China, I still remembered when I was a child, there were two Shanghai watch in a drawer in my father’s house, they have elastic stainless steel bracelet, look like couple watches, later I know they were purchased when my father and mother got married. At that time, in China, every couple will buy Shanghai watches when they are getting married. I think Shanghai watch was even more popular than Sea-gull.
I like to collect watches, I have several pieces of Shanghai watches, and this silver white is my third Shanghai watch. I seldom wear Shanghai watch in my daily life, I will choose to wear it when I go dating in a restaurant. This silver white Shanghai watch is not for every one, but I think it is a very good gift for your father, young people may not like this watch, because it does not look sporty and does not have a bold design, all you can see from the watch is its elegance.
This watch has some similarity to one of the Longines watches I have seen, its case is measured to be 39mm in diameter and thickness is about 11mm. Stainless steel case and bracelet are polished, with round and smooth bezel. All details on the dial just show you how elegant the watch is. There are artistic Arabic numbers in black to be used as hour markers. The lattice on the center enhances the elegance of the entire watch. Hour hand, minute hand and second hand are blued stainless steel. Minute markers are on a beveled inner bezel, which adds the space sense of the dial.
The watch has functions of hours, minutes, seconds, date and week. The crown is not screw down, you can directly wind the watch, pull out the crown to the first position to adjust the week display, and then adjust the date by rotating the crown in another direction. Pull out the crown to the second position to adjust time. Through the crystal back, we can see the movement, do you know where this movement come from? It seems not to be developed by Shanghai Watch Factory.
The watch keeps time accurate, I have had the watch for one week, its inaccuracy is about 13 seconds each day. There is also a two tone model for this watch, it is really a good watch for those people who want to know better about Chinese watches.
