SHANGHAI WATCH PIONEER 39MM
A Return to the Beginning — Reimagined for Today
Some watches tell time. Others tell a story.
This 39 mm automatic mechanical watch from Shanghai Watch is a quiet tribute to the brand’s earliest triumphs — a modern echo of the legendary pieces that once marked the rise of Chinese watchmaking.
At first glance, the warm light sunburst dial feels like a memory: soft, familiar, and timeless. As the light shifts, the dial comes alive, revealing textures that recall the golden age of mechanical craft. The bold Arabic numerals, the arrow indices, the unmistakable red-tipped seconds hand — each element whispers back to the historic A581, the watch that began it all.
Encased in 316L stainless steel and protected by an arched sapphire crystal, this timepiece captures the essence of vintage durability while embracing the clarity of modern engineering. Inside beats the dependable 2130 automatic movement, delivering a 42-hour reserve that keeps time steady as your days unfold.
Turn it over. Feel the weight.
Slip the brown leather strap across your wrist. Instantly, you understand: this is not just a watch. It is a bridge — between heritage and today, between craftsmanship and expression, between the past we honour and the future we build.
Founded in 1955, Shanghai Watches is a trailblazer in Chinese watchmaking, renowned for its precision, meticulous craftsmanship, and deep cultural significance. Drawing inspiration from Shanghai's legacy of innovation and artistry, the brand seamlessly integrates Oriental aesthetics with modern sophistication in its timepieces.
