Simpe and practical casual watch in suitable size always attracts me, Parnis has made a lot of such types of watches, their most popular one is the watch with power reserve, which is a homage of IWC Portuguese 7 Days, I also have this watch, it is my most favorite casual watch, IWC Portuguese is my dream watch, but too expensive. It is unnecessary to describe Parnis too much, many people know this brand, it is the first brand in China to create homages of many Swiss watches, at the beginning several years, Parnis was very popular, now, few people will mention this brand, but some watches they make are still very classic.
All watches appeared on my blog are made in China, among them, Parnis has occupied a big market share, many people heard Parnis in watch forums and perhaps it is the first Chinese watch they bought. Many of you guys do not have too much official knowledge about Parnis, but I am telling you Parnis should be your first choice if you do not want to pay more for Sea-gull, Shanghai watch or Beijing watch.
This Parnis watch is stainless steel made, with black dial and black leather strap, this is the most classic combination on a casual watch. The case is made with solid 316L stainless steel, its diameter is 40mm, for a casual watch that looks a bit sporty, this is a very suitable size, and the case is only 11mm in thickness. Please more focus on the case finish, the brushing on the bezel and polishing on case sides and lugs form a high contrast.
Black dial has small grids that look like the ones on Audemars Piguet Royal Oak’s dial. These checkers on the dial look nice, white printings of “PARNIS” is under the big number “12”. All hour markers, including the Arabic numbers of 6, 9 and 12, are applied with white luminous material, so are the hour hand and minute hand, they will emit a strong green lume light at night. There is a date window in square shape positioned at 3 o’clock, it features black font in white background. In a word, the dial not only has a simple but practical design, but is also highly readable.
Through the crystal back, I saw there are engraving information about the movement, which is a Miyota automatic movement from Japan. This is nice, because I trust the quality of Japanese movements, they are more stable. I have had the watch for three weeks, now it is about 30 seconds faster each day, for me, such inaccuracy is acceptable. There are eight models available in different dial styles on Parnis website.
