What is Sugess? I never heard this watch before, after checking its website, I know it is another customized watch brand in China, currently I do not know which city this brand is created in, I will write posts to do background survey on these homage watch brands created in China, at that time, I think you guys will have a full understanding of these homage watches. Not like other custom-made watch brands in China, most watches made by Sugess are not diving styles, so I guess this brand is not from the same company as Proxima, San Martin and Steeldive. This Sugess watch I am going to review today has a very similar outlook to the Breitling Top Time, which I knew this watch from its replica, it is very popular, the watch is a big watch, its case diameter is up to 40mm, that does not include the crown and chrono buttons, such size is exactly in line with the trend of big watches. This Sugess watch is made with high grade stainless steel material, it uses sapphire and is equipped with Sea-gull movement, the watch has a working chrono function, so its price is a little higher than the other same type of watches made in China, but still very affordable.
All selling points of the watch lie in its dial and movement. The dial is blue and has two subdials in white color. The two small dials have square design but with round corners, that look different from most other chrono watches, the center of the two subdials is sunken, this design enhances the spacing sense of the dial and makes it look more tridimensional. The dial also has a very high readability, it uses five different colors, that’s the dial with most colors I have seen, but it does not affect readability of the dial at all, even make a very lively dial. The central second-chronograph hand has a lightning shape, which exactly meets the artistic font style of Sugess. Both small dials have different functions that are real, the one with a yellow small hand at 9 o’clock is displaying the seconds, the small dial with an orange hand at 3 o’clock is a 30-minute chronograph counter. The central lightning second hand is usually fixed, once you push the chrono button at 2 o’clock, it will count, you can also let this hand working all the time, but the energy of the watch will last long. About the movement, I am very happy that the Sugess adopts a see-through crystal back, so that I can see the movement clearly, it is a manual winding movement from Sea-gull, the exact movement model is ST1901, from the back, you can see the machine beauty of the movement. By the way, the watch comes with a blue leather band, you can also order one pair of genuine aligator leather straps from China, there are stores in Guangzhou watch market can do this job.
Conclusion:
A fashionable pilot’s watch with highly-readable dial and a very stable Sea-gull movement. The watch has a real chronograph function and features a see-through crystal back that allows you to appreciate the beauty of the working machine inside. A very good-looking pilot’s watch for the young people, and it is very popular watch on the aliexpress, Sugess offers several dial color options and different leather bands for this watch, you can always find your favorite style.
