Both Ebohr and Fiyta are two of my favorite Chinese watches, Fiyta is a more popular and powerful watch company, the watches from both watch companies have modern design beauty that has been recognized by more and more people. I bought one Ebohr watch before, it is a diver’s watch from the Explorer series, the watch looks good and still works accurate, many Chinese watches now refer to the design features of Swiss watches, both Ebohr and Fiyta have done a good job at this, I have seen most watches from these two brands, they indeed look more modern and attractive than other traditional Chinese watch brands such as Shanghai and Beijing, so, to develop the market, some old Chinese brands started to seek cooperation, for example, the cooperation between Beijing Watch Factory and Fiyta is a reflection of this trend. Well, talk too much about the Chinese watches, we have seen a big development occurred in China watch industry, hope these brands can bring us more surprising timepieces in future.

Today, I want to introduce another Ebohr watch that comes from Explorer series also like my first Ebohr diver’s watch. Ebohr has two versions for this watch, stainless steel and black pvd, I chose the stainless steel model, which has a more regular look for daily wearing and looks more classic. I love the styling of the watch, it is fully stainless steel made with a stainless steel bracelet that seamlessly integrated with the case, the watch has a similar outlook to the Chopard Alpine Eagle.

The stainless steel case is 44.5mm in diameter and measured to be 11mm in thickness, not thick for such an automatic watch that looks strong, but the watch is a little heavy, which is almost 180 grams. The case shape is like a reduced version of the Royal Oak of Audemars Piguet, the front of the case and bezel have the same vertical brushing finish, while the beveled case edge is polished, which forms a high-contrast visual effect. The bezel screws are H-shaped and definitely refer to the design of screws on Hublot Big Bang. The screw-down case back has a crystal on the center to display the engine.

The dial is black with stereo bar-shaped hour markers, there is a white round lume dot next to each hour marker, central hour hand and minute hand refer to the hand design of Hublot, one half is skeleton, the other half applied with white lume, there is a green lume light on the two hands and round dot markers in dark conditions. The date window is trapezoidal with a silver frame, black date font is exactly in the middle of the window in white background, easily readable.

What I love most on the watch is the stainless steel bracelet, which is seamlessly integrated with the case, the watch looks very uniform in styling. The bracelet and case head have a very seamless connection, it looks like the bracelet is a natural extension from the case. And about the bracelet finish, it is totally brushed, except the polishing on the edge of the links, just like the finish on the case. At last, the Ebohr watch uses a Japanese automatic movement, I have had it for almost two weeks, now it works 12 seconds fast each day, I know the quality of Japanese movements is trusted. There is no extra leather band offered for this watch, well, I think not needed.
