When people get together, probably the watches they mostly talk about are those diving-style models that look very impressive at first glance, with a big size and unique bezel design. While these watches are never your first choice when you are really considering to get a watch to wear. Yes, a diver’s watch will always be in your wishlist, but it not your first need, a mechanical watch that looks more normal and elegant is usually your first choice. Stainless steel case, black or blue dial with silver markers, sword-shaped hour hand and minute hand, these are standard features of an elegant dress watch. Every brand has such type of watches, they are also one of the best sellers, for this Fiyta watch I am going to review, it is the most elegant watch I have in my collection, actually I have several watches like this from Sea-gull or other homage brands, but no one can be compared with this Fiyta. Its stainless steel case, blue dial, slender sweeping second hand and crystal back make me love it deeply. Fiyta sent this watch in a black brand box with one extra black leather strap.
The watch is completely made with 316L stainless steel, the case has a diameter up to 40mm, that’s a size I like, very suitable and not big like some diving-style or pilot watches, the case is measured to be 11.3mm in thickness, it is polished with naturally curved lugs that could better fit your hand, the screw-in crown has a peace dove logo, together with the screw-down crystal back, they guarantee a 50m water resistance of the watch.
The dial is blue, black color also available for this watch, but I think blue is a better fit for such a dress watch, it looks more eye-catching, black looks a bit bored. The radial sunray texture of the dial is very attractive, it is the most important reason for me to chooce this watch. Hour markers are a bit raised from the dial because they are three-dimensional, there are multiple cutting faces on each of these markers, just like the finish of the hour hand and minute hand. At 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock, the hour marker adopts Rome numbers. On the top of the hour hand and minute hand, there is a straight line applied with lume material, the slender second hand is very long and sweeping across the dial smoothly. The date window positioned at 3 o’clock also has a good finish, the window has a silver frame, a black date font in background, the date font is exactly in the middle of the window, such simple dial with every element finished in an elegant way is my favorite.
From the see-through back, the movement is a 21-jeweled automatic movement, it is a Citizen automatic movement, I guess, the auto rotor has a simple decoration, with brand name and jewels numbers engraved. Once having a full winding, the watch can work 40 hours continuously. The stainless steel band is ok, it consists of wide and narrow links that are all polished, the buckle has a peace dove logo in matt finish. Actually if the links are brushed and polished alternately, the bracelet finish may look better visually.
