Ya the texture of a brass case is interesting. The sub dial looks like a 30mins register although I can't see clearly too.

Yes, china...:p

This label and design caught my attention last nite when a forums member over @ the HK forum brought this up for discussion and opinion seeking.

The dial, hands design is certainly have some effort in it to bring out the fresh impression of an alternative look in contrast to traditional layout.

The movement will not be unfamiliar to some, especially those bros here who buys and dig into chinese movement watches like those from INGERSOLL, ARBUTUS or MARSHALL.



according to the specs here...
