About Shanghai military history Watches
It was not until my friend gave Perry the site of a Chinese forum military 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 were proud to own watches and bicycles Shanghai when I was very little girl. And I’m sure, like Many Chinese families, there must be an old watch Shanghai stopped at a corner of my house or my grandfather still wears one, but I do not careful. As for military watches Shanghai, I will, I will certainly talk with my great-uncle, an old military man since 1947. He must know something check the following information about the witness is mainly collected from http://www.chinesewristwatch.com/ Watch and other bodies as I have very little knowledge of military watches.

Well, according to reports, the first Chinese military shows Shang Hai A623 was made in 1965 by Shanghai Watch Bracelet Factory, powered by a movement called 623 which was based on movement and Shanghai 581 Rolex Date / movement shows resilience to shocks. 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 gold carving? ” (Shanghai) on the dial and the second version in black and white? ” (Shanghai) printed on the dial. The date is displayed in red Arabic numerals. Prime Minister
Produced in very small numbers, A623 has been given to these top executives ranking government and military at the time. The first Prime Minister of the People’s Republic of China also had a second version A623 and increased until his death. Therefore A623 also called “Premier Watch.”
In 1969, Shanghai produces Wristwatch 114 hits with 29 and 24 Jewels Jewels SS2 SS4 movements. The 114 could be divided into three versions depending on the case: the trial version with the number Series 6 digits, the first version to 7 digits and end version with 8-digit serial number. On the face of the first version 29J 114, she did not have the “Shanghai” logo it. Different than 29J 114 24J first version of 114 had “Shanghai” logo on the dial and later 24J 114 had “Torch” on the dial and the crown. Also on the rotor 29J SS2 that manufactured in 1967 had the engraving “zhan 29, 29?” instead of “29 Zuan, 29?. “1970 version 24J had “???? zidong gunzhu “instead of”?? quanzidong (automatic) “at the 30,000 pieces rotor.Totally 114 was made before production was halted in 1977.
In my humble opinion, the 114 watches military exercises certain design features Rolex watches capita clear sea and diving watches Blancpain. But I particularly love these Chinese elements: movements homemade Chinese characters, Chinese red and much more.
Since wristwatch was considered luxury items at this time, the only division commanders (or senior officers) were qualified to buy the regimental commanders and SS2 (or senior officers) were allowed to purchase SS4. But not all of the SS2 and SS4 movements have been used in military watches. For example, there were SS4H, SS4H-K (19J mechanical watch) SS4B (19J shows Mechanical date) and SS2C (29J automatic wristwatch with date) ..
