1963 Watch
Founded no public date · China
1963 Watch takes its name from the chronograph the Chinese air force commissioned that year, and its catalogue turns on that piece and its derivatives, with the Sea-Gull ST19 movement inside.
History
The 1963 watch is the most historic piece in Chinese watchmaking: a hand-wound chronograph commissioned by the air force, built with the calibre China bought from the Swiss firm Vénus in 1961. The brand reproduces that watch and its variants. Like others of its kind, it publishes no founder and no date of its own, and shares references with San Martin on some models.
