Military Wristwatch Forums

What I know about military history Shanghai Watches

It was not until my friend Perry gave the site of a Chinese Military Forum, where I found old photos of Shanghai Military watches that I started to collect information on Chinese military watches.

I have a vague recollection that the Chinese people are proud to own watches and bicycles in Shanghai when I was a little girl. And I sure, like many Chinese families, there must be an old watch Shanghai stopped at a corner of my house or my grandfather is still one, but I do not mind. As for military watches Shanghai, I will, I will certainly talk with my great-uncle, an old military man since 1947. He should know something about that.The following information is mainly collected from http://www.chinesewristwatch.com/ Watch the other forums I have very little knowledge about watches and the military. If you are interested in Shanghai Vintage watches, micmicmor.blogspot.com / Is strongly recommended.

Well, according to reports, the first Chinese military shows Shang Hai A623 was made in 1965 by Shanghai Show Bracelet Factory, powered by a movement called 623 which was based on the movement and Shanghai 581 Rolex Date / watch movement crashworthiness. Shanghai A623 was also the first wristwatch made in China with the date function.

As far as I known, A623 has two versions. The first version features golden sculpture?? (Shanghai) on the dial and the second version in black and white?? "(Shanghai) printed on the dial. The date is displayed in red numerals. Prime minister

Produced in very small numbers, A623 only gave to those high-ranking government and military leaders at the time. The first Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China has also had a second version of the A623 and it increased to death. Therefore A623 also called "Premier Watch."

In 1969, Shanghai Wristwatch produced 114 hits with 29 jewels SS2 and SS4 24 Jewels movement. The 114 could be divided into three versions depending on the case: Trial of 6-digit serial number, the first version with 7 digits and the end version with 8-digit serial number. On the face of the first version 29J 114, it did not have the 'Shanghai' he logo. Different from the 29J 114 24J first version of 114 "Shanghai" logo on the dial and later 24J 114 "Torch" on the dial and crown. Also on the rotor 29J SS2 which was manufactured in 1967 engraving "Zhan 29, 29?" instead of "29 Zuan, 29?." 24J 1970 version had "???? gunzhu zidong "instead of"??? quanzidong (automatic) "on the 30,000 pieces rotor.Totally 114 was made before production was stopped 1977.

In my humble opinion, the military has 114 hits certain design features clear Rolex watches inhabitant of the sea and diving watches Blancpain. But I love these Chinese individuals: house movements, Chinese characters, Chinese red and much more.

Since wristwatch was considered luxury items this time, the division commanders, only (or higher ranking officers) were trained buy the regimental commanders and SS2 (or higher ranking officers) were allowed to purchase SS4. But not all of the SS2 and movements SS4 were used in military watches. For example, there was SS4H, SS4H-K (19J mechanical watch), SS4B (19J mechanical watch with date), and SS2C (29J automatic wristwatch with date) ..

In 1978, the plant started watching in 1220 Shanghai model produces military watches, which could be divided in standard and military version. Military version had "?? (Use military)" on the dial and has been used in the Third Indochina War

Jinsheng Manufacturing Factory clock is another power of China that provided military watches watches special. Capable produce mechanical chronograph Diamond Band, he built special models included 1/100seconds military watch (Model 501), 1/50seconds (model 502) and 1/5seconds (model 503) model series total 10. 1964, the factory supplied MS1S MS2S-stop and two hits in the Navy. In 1968, the plant changed its name to "Shanghai Stopwatch Factory built and successfully made special models 511-516 stopwatch to the Department of Homeland Defense in China.
