Shanghai 962 – a must have to be elegant

How about the popularity of Shanghai watch? I do not know how popular it is in your country, maybe you have not heard of this brand, but Shanghai watch had been very hot during a period in China, I still remembered when I was a child, there were two Shanghai watch in a drawer in my father’s house, they have elastic stainless steel bracelet, look like couple watches, later I know they were purchased when my father and mother got married. At that time, in China, every couple will buy Shanghai watches when they are getting married. I think Shanghai watch was even more popular than Sea-gull.

I like to collect watches, I have several pieces of Shanghai watches, and this silver white is my third Shanghai watch. I seldom wear Shanghai watch in my daily life, I will choose to wear it when I go dating in a restaurant. This silver white Shanghai watch is not for every one, but I think it is a very good gift for your father, young people may not like this watch, because it does not look sporty and does not have a bold design, all you can see from the watch is its elegance.

This watch has some similarity to one of the Longines watches I have seen, its case is measured to be 39mm in diameter and thickness is about 11mm. Stainless steel case and bracelet are polished, with round and smooth bezel. All details on the dial just show you how elegant the watch is. There are artistic Arabic numbers in black to be used as hour markers. The lattice on the center enhances the elegance of the entire watch. Hour hand, minute hand and second hand are blued stainless steel. Minute markers are on a beveled inner bezel, which adds the space sense of the dial.

The watch has functions of hours, minutes, seconds, date and week. The crown is not screw down, you can directly wind the watch, pull out the crown to the first position to adjust the week display, and then adjust the date by rotating the crown in another direction. Pull out the crown to the second position to adjust time. Through the crystal back, we can see the movement, do you know where this movement come from? It seems not to be developed by Shanghai Watch Factory.

The watch keeps time accurate, I have had the watch for one week, its inaccuracy is about 13 seconds each day. There is also a two tone model for this watch, it is really a good watch for those people who want to know better about Chinese watches.

Shanghai 6003 Mens Watch Review

Shanghai Watch Box

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.

I never thought that I will publish reviews about Shanghai watches on my blog, because there are Chinese words “上海” on every Shanghai watch, many people do not like this, however, I just noticed that Shanghai Watch Factory opened a store on Aliexpress, they also want to open the overseas watch market, I do not know if there are many people buying Shanghai watches in the United States and European countries, but now I feel it is necessary to give introduction of some Shanghai watches on my blog, after all, Shanghai watch has a very rich history in Chinese watch industry, it is also one of the biggest watch factories in China. In the 60s and 70s, Shanghai watch was very popular, it was said that every newly married couples will buy one pair of Shanghai watches at that time, and another two necessory items for marriage at that time are one bicycle and one sewing machine, in my memory, when I was a child, I found two Shanghai watches in one drawer of the wardrobe in my home. We have moved to a new home, the old Shanghai watches were lost, some people said that these old Shanghai watches could be sold at high prices, because some persons like to collect.

Today, I want to introduce the first Shanghai watch on my blog, please look at the pictures, does it look like Longines? Yes, a bit, but this stainless steel watch is the the type most people are going to buy as the first watch. Other watches like Pilot watch or diver’s watch are usually not their first choices. This Shanghai watch looks elegant, not only because of its classic combination of stainless steel tone, white dial and black numeral hour markers, the blued steel hands enhance the elgance of the entire watch. The watch is made with 304 stainless steel, the case is polished with a smooth round bezel, the case is not big, only 39mm in diameter, most watches in this style have such size, it is only 11mm in thickness, the crown is big, which offers a great convenience for the wearer to pull out and rotate. The watch has a crystal back to show the machine inside, I do not know which automatic movement, but it was said that many Shanghai watches using Miyota 8215 from Japan.

There are two places on the watch I do not like, it does not use a sapphire but a mineral crystal, and I do not like this bracelet, even though the bracelet has a good finish, while I think the three-section-link bracelet looks better on this watch. The dial is indeed a a good selling point, due to the oblique minutes inner bezel, the tridimensional visual effect of the dial is obvious. The font style of numeral hour markers is exactly in line with that of the Chinese words “上海”. And the hands on the center is in blue color, not painted, it is specially processed. It is exactly the blued steel hands that highlight the elegance of the entire watch. By the way, the factory also offers one pair of black leather straps for this watch.
