I have a special feeling on Parnis, no other Chinese homage watches can not be compared with Parnis in my heart, no matter how good and beautiful they are. Parnis is the first homage watch I knew, before I saw many people talking about this brand in the forums, and they also said the quality is acceptable at the price point, which is very affordable for a lot of people. For such a homage watch with low price and real functions, Parnis is ideal for you to choose, having been in the homage field for more than ten years, Parnis has been recognized by most homage watch fans, they are willing to buy watches from Parnis even they know it is a Chinese brand. The only thing I feel pity is that now Parnis seldom publishes new models.
Stainless steel case with leather strap, white dial with small subdials, I like the watch with such features arranged in this way, it looks so elegant and immediately draws my attention when I found the watch online, so I have already made several decisions because of this, all of the watches like this type I own, I love them very much, after all I am an office worker, I feel very happy when going to work every day wearing a different brand dress watch.
The watch has a big case, which measures 43mm in diameter and has a thickness of 14.5mm. The case is polished with a mirror-like bezel that is thin and narrow, the white dial looks larger due to such case design, it seems like all elegant dress watches have this common feature. The screw-in crown looks special, it has flutes on the surface and a “P” logo on the front, there are no crown guards, and because of the flutes, the crown is very easy to pulled out and rotate. The mineral crystal set in the bezel frame does not stand high above the bezel, but it is exactly the bezel structure that increases the thickness of the case.
The white dial looks elegant because of its color and has an asymmetrical beauty. There are two subdials on this purely white dial, one is positioned at 5 o’clock, it has a small hand indicating remaining erengy of the movement. The other subdial is positioned at 9 o’clock, it has a small seconds hand in blue color. Both subdials are not symmetrically displayed on the dial, but I like this irregular design, it is also this design that leaves space for the date window, which is displayed with white font in background at 3 o’clock. There are no hour markers on the dial, only track-style minute markers with numbers 05, 10 to 60.
The crystal back shows you an automatic movement, which is said to be a Sea-gull ST2530. I do not know if it is a real Sea-gull movement, but according to its finsh-scale finish on its auto rotor and movement plates, it is like Sea-gull movement. Actually many Chinese homage watches like this Parnis at this price point do not use Sea-gull movement, they usually are equipped with a very common automatic movement made in China, which is not as good and popular as Sea-gull, so I feel very happy that this Parnis uses a Sea-gull movement. By the way, the black leather band on the watch feels ultra soft to wear.
