Diamond is a watch brand in China, it does not mean the watches decorated with diamonds, last time, I already introduced this brand here at. In Chinese Pinyin, Diamond means Zuanshi, this watch also has a very long history like Shanghai and Beijing. Today, I will share a Diamond watch that was released in 2011, I found it on Taobao.
In mens watch collection, a small-second watch or a bauhaus-style watch is a must have, some people like a small-second dress watch due to its simple and timeless design, a bauhaus-style watch has more special features and offers more fun in exchanging the watch band.
This is a watch not totally in Bauhaus style, the metal wire lugs seem not be a feature of Bauhaus-style watch that usually comes with long straight and angular lugs, but we can see some Bauhaus elements on the dial such as the square hands, clear white dial with black markers, the dial looks nice, it will be better if there are no small dots next to the black digits. The Diamond logo is tridimensional, small second hand is running on the subdial positioned between 7:00 and 8:00. The minute hand with a orange tip that enhances the entire dial readability. In a word, the clean white dial is big and very convenient for you to read the time.
The watch has a crystal back, with an automatic movement inside, which is Hangzhou 5000a with a micro rotor. This movement indeed makes the watch case thin , but it is still 10.8mm in thickness, not too thin for a Bauhaus watch in my opinion. Seeing through the crystal back, the movement looks very nice, the base plate also has beautiful finish. The movement beats 28,800 times per hour, it has about 42-hour power reserve and 30 jewels.
A blue leather band is on the watch, it comes with a pin buckle with a Diamond logo being engraved. The wire lug is very convenient for you to change another band on. Like a nato band, it also looks nice. By the way, this watch also has an orange dial option.
