Do you like this watch? I think many of you guys still like this type of mechanical watches because it has a very classic design that was very popular several years ago, that’s the opening window on the dial. Many people who do not know watches thought the working device in the opening is a tourbillon, some watch companies indeed used the word “tourbillon” in the title of the product, but this is not a tourbillon watch, the window opened at 6 o’clock is showing a working balance wheel of the movement. Today, I still see some websites that are selling watches on Aliexpress do not use the “tourbillon” word correctly. Now, back to our today’s topic, it is a review of another Shanghai watch that has multiple functions, which are very convenient for the wearer to know more time information, I think it should be a necessary model in mens watch collection.
The watch is made with 316L stainless steel, the round bezel is polished, well, I like the bracelet style, the brushing finish on the middle links also looks obvious, which forms a high contrast with the polishing on other parts of the watch. Shanghai Watch Factory also offers one pair of black leather straps for this watch. Besides the crown, there are also three extra pushers on the case, each can be pushed to adjust the feature on the dial. The dial is the place that combines every function of the watch, let’s talk the opening window design at 6 o’clock first, it not only allows you to appreciate the rhythm beauty of the mechanical movement, but also enhances the stability of the entire movement. There are two small dials on the silver dial, the small dial at 9 o’clock is week display, which can be adjusted through the button at 8 o’clock, the month display is set at 3 o’clock, which can be adjusted through the button at 4 o’clock. The date is displayed in a separated window at 12 o’clock, which can be adjusted through the button at 2 o’clock. All functions are real. And the blued steel hands exactly enhance the elegance of the entire watch.
The watch is powered by a Shanghai 2L27 automatic movement, which can beat 21,600 times per hour, it has 35 jewels and 40-hour power reserve. I know little about Shanghai movement, I saw some negative reviews about this movement, someone said their watch is 35 seconds slower each day, someone said their watch has a 3-minute inaccuracy each day, fortunately my watch still works accurate til now, it gains 15 seconds but that’s acceptable, the quality of Shanghai watch is trusted, but you need to ask them to test for several days more before shipping.
