What are the recommendations for entry mechanical watches?

Mechanical watches often have a sense of high quality, but I believe that most people will not buy Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and other watches as soon as they come up. So what are the entry-level mechanical watches?

Tissot

Tissot is a famous Swiss watch brand. It mainly manufactures high-end watches, and has always been brave in innovation without deviating from the traditional Swiss watch design, thus having a distinctive sense of fashion. This is a high-end watch, which is very suitable as an entry-level watch.

MIDO (mido)

Also a Swiss high-end watch brand, Tissot and Tissot belong to Swatch Group. Dumet's design style is the magnificent architecture of ancient Rome, the rhythm of time flow and drifting with the wind. Mido watches tend to be fashionable in design, which is very suitable for young people to wear or as an entry-level watch.

Longines (longines)

Longines still belongs to Swiss Swatch Group, which mainly designs high-end watches. Longines has outstanding tradition and excellent experience in the field of sports timing. Longines watches marked by flying wing hourglass are famous for their elegance. And the above two brands are very suitable for wearing as entry-level mechanical watches.

-End-End

Grand Seiko introduced two new manual spring-driven movements and four different watches at the Basel Watch Fair.

In essence, it combines the elements of machinery and timely tabulation, creating a mixture that can provide excellent performance and accuracy. Different from the traditional mechanical movement, it uses an adjusting mechanism and is equipped with a unique speed control mechanism, including IC, electronic brake and timing crystal. This results in an average monthly rate of 15 seconds (or an average daily rate of 1 second) and a minimum power reserve of about 3 days.

In view of the importance of this technology to Seiko and the modern watchmaking industry, Seiko should package this watch as beautifully as possible.

The first thing to pay attention to is the thinness and exquisiteness of the case. The new elegant series is very familiar with their aesthetics, and this year is also the first appearance of Dajinggong in the Basel world. The four cases are all 38.5 mm in diameter, which is refreshing. Two platinum models-SBGZ001and SBGZ003-are only 9.8 mm high, while the gold and steel models-SBGY002 and SBGY003-are slightly thicker than 10.2 mm (due to the different movements used).

The shape of these cases makes them very flat on the wrist and very comfortable to wear. It is also very suitable for making dress watches, and it should be easy to slide under the cuffs of shirts. In my opinion, the overall design between the case and the ear also gives a visual impression, and the case is slightly larger than 38.5 mm

The two platinum models are the works of the micro-artist's studio, and they are all assembled by hand. A watch case-SBGZ001-is completely hand-carved with snowflake patterns (matching the dial). According to Seiko, the design was inspired by the snow scene in Xinzhou where the studio is located.

The four dials are relatively simple and low-key, but this does not mean that they are unobtrusive. It's far. In fact, simplicity is where Grand Seiko really stands out. The limited edition platinum style dial is engraved with a silver-white snowflake pattern, which is not limited to the gold style. Another platinum style uses a silver dial with a textured surface treatment, while the silver dial of a steel dial is decorated with a striking sunshine pattern. In the platinum and fine steel editions, the hour hand, minute hand and hour mark are all made of 14k platinum. For the gold version, this will switch to gold.

Of course, the real magic is what's inside these watches. Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGZ001and SBGZ003 (two platinum models) are equipped with the newly developed manual winding movement 9R02. The exclusive work of Micro Artist Studio, which sets two mainsprings in a barrel in parallel and uses a unique torque return system * to generate 84 hours of power. The power storage indicator can be seen through the sapphire crystal bottom cover, next to the wind chime-shaped clockwork.

Calibre-9R02 and its high-end decoration are available in two platinum styles.

As you expected, the movement is completed and assembled by hand. The edges of the two bridges have been carefully polished and flawless, which is in sharp contrast with the hairline of the bridge itself. Similarly, the appearance is relatively simple, but the execution is only at another level. The accuracy is 1 second per day.

* Torque return system: When the mainspring is fully wound and the torque output reaches the maximum, about 30% of the available power does not need to maintain the accuracy of the watch, which is actually wasted in the normal movement. The torque return system uses this energy to wind the mainspring back and forth, thus increasing the power reserve. In the 9R02 movement, the system is started 48 hours after the mainspring is completely wound.

At the same time, the spring-driven SBGY002 and SBGY003 of Dajinggong adopt brand-new manual winding movements, equipped with 9R3 1 movements. This internal movement is carefully made by Xinzhou Watch Studio (adjacent to Micro-artist Studio), including all other precision spring-driven watches. It has the same double main spring structure as the 9R02 movement, but does not use the torque return system. This leads to a slightly lower but still sufficient power reserve of 72 hours. However, the accuracy keeps the high accuracy of 1 second per day.

All four watches are made of crocodile leather strap, with triple clasp and button release device. The gold version uses a brown strap, and the other three models are all black. Comfortable to wear, which complements the overall dress theme.

Although as the saying goes, "the poor play with cars and the rich play with watches", the watches mentioned here are not necessarily the top watches that everyone can afford. In fact, there are more and more affordable watch brands. For example, DW in the rotten street now, or several watch brands I introduced before, are simple in design and value-oriented, and now they are very popular with young people, because after all, those hundreds of thousands of watches are not affordable for most people.

Nowadays, many people have begun to regard watches as a fashionable accessory. Although those thousand-yuan watches are not as good as luxury watches in many places, it may be different to buy more models for a change.

Then at this time, someone said, why are all quartz watches? Can you recommend some mechanical watches? Or can't a watch with a price close to the people have both mechanical and facial features? So today I decided to recommend several watches with pleasing appearance and affordable price. Of course, the price will be slightly higher, but it basically does not exceed 10000 RMB, and some even fall below 5000 RMB.

seagull

I just wrote the seagull table a few days ago, so I won't say much here. However, since it is recommended, of course, there can be no shortage of domestic watches. As one of the few brands that can independently produce movement in China, Seagull Watch has a trendy appearance. Except for tourbillon and some special watches with complicated functions, the price of seagull watches can basically start in thousands.

fossil

Perhaps speaking of fossil watches, many people are not familiar with it. At first, this American brand made watches and jewelry, but now it is more like a fashion brand, and sunglasses are also available. Many people will compare it with Swatch, and you will know that its watch is not expensive, but there is still a big difference between them, but the most similar place between them is that they are aimed at young people. Its home has a smart watch Q series, which is quite popular in IG recently. It's fashionable and beautiful, and the price is not expensive, about 2000 RMB.

But since we are talking about mechanical watches today, let's take a look at their mechanical watches. The price is generally around 2000 ~ 3000 RMB. Needless to say, they are all very fashionable models, mainly including Hyundai Motor, Townsman and Grant.

Modern machine 2820 yuan

Grant 2,250 yuan.

Town people 2470 yuan

citizen

I believe that many people in Citizen should be more familiar with it than I am. Its home price is close to the people. Although there may be some gap with Swiss watches, the cost performance is quite good in all aspects. Its optical kinetic energy meter is very popular and is a symbol of its home. The price of mechanical watches is also quite good. Basically, they all use miyota's mechanical movement, and the materials are basically sapphire crystal glass, fine steel and transparent back.

Friday at seven.

Seven Friday is a relatively young watch brand, but in the past two years, it has gained more popularity than the old watch brands. The fashionable appearance and reasonable price are also loved by many hipsters. Different from other well-known Swiss watch brands, this watch brand was founded on 20 12, and the brand name is to hope that everyone will be as happy as Friday every day.

There is nothing to say about sports, just the traditional MIYOTA sports. Now people see more P series and M series. Some people like the round dial design, others don't feel it. In fact, at first I refused the appearance of its home, but the magic thing is that the more I look at it, the better it looks.

However, I still want to recommend its V series launched last year. The appearance of this series has changed a lot, the lines are tougher and the sense of industry is stronger. In addition, I think this series is more suitable for occasions than P and M series. The key is that it also has a quick strap replacement system. The price is around 8000 RMB.

Tissot

You may see Tissot, and people will think that this brand has nothing to say. However, as an Yan Kong, his family has two series of editors, which I think can still be recommended. One is Chemin des Tourelles, named after the street founded by Swiss Lillock Tissot Watchmaking Factory 1907, which is still the location of the company. It should be said that it is a watch with special significance to Tissot. The price is around 7000 RMB.

The other is a nostalgic classic navigator watch launched by his family to celebrate the 60th anniversary of/kloc-0. There is nothing else to say, except that it looks good, and the retro appearance is especially suitable for business people, especially if you often travel abroad. This model is a bit expensive, it costs 10 thousand+.

Movado

As a second-class watch brand in Switzerland, it seems that its popularity is not as high as other brands. In fact, Movado has a history of more than 100 years, and it also comes from a big family. Its watch design is quite avant-garde, especially the museum series, which has a post-modern minimalist style. The price is basically 6000+.

Finally, I want to say that I am very happy as long as I wear my own watch, no matter what the price.

Tens of thousands of watches are called high-end watches, and the entry level should be below 1W, about 5K. If it exceeds 1W, it can't be regarded as entry-level in principle. The budget range can be Longines, Dumet, Tissot, Plum Blossom, etc. The lower ones are Citizen and Seiko, but they are more common. This time, Swiss watches are the main ones.

Longines elegant series watches Longines elegant series watches, originally not too high, have recently gone up, so the budget has increased. Longines are basically mechanical watches of this budget. In the past, ETA was used directly, but now it is all modified and polished, with high power reserve. This is the L888 self-winding mechanical movement, which vibrates 25,200 times per hour and has a power storage of 64 hours. The movement is 25.6 mm in diameter and 3.6 mm in thickness. I feel that the action is good and the performance is stable.

Mido helmsman series watches: Mido watches are also owned by Swatch Group, which makes up for the vacancy of Longines and Tissot, that is, the grade of around 7K is basically Mido; Mido's helmsman Berensoli and the commander are all good. They used to use 28 machines, but now the Mido series is dominated by 80-hour movements. This is Mido Caliber80 automatic mechanical movement (based on ETA C07. 1 movement)/Mido ETA 2836-2 movement; Excellent performance and strong power.

Plum Blossom Cosmic Series Wristwatch: Plum Blossom is a classic old brand, which started with 19 19 and is a famous Swiss brand. Many people knew about plum blossoms in the early days, mainly because the styles were particularly like Tudor Rolex, and the older generation may be impressed; Now the plum blossom is a little low-key, basically the plum blossom adopts ETA movement, which is the top calendar, ETA2834-2 self-winding movement, double calendar, 3 o'clock display date, 12 display week; Power storage is about 38 hours. However, the positioning of plum blossoms is not cheap, and the budget is all to buy longines.

Tissot Locke series watches: Tissot Locke series watches can be said to be one of the most cost-effective mechanical watches, and also a Swiss watch brand, which is well-known in China. After several changes, the appearance of Rolex has basically changed little. The movement used to be ETA 2824, with only 38 hours of power storage. Now it is replaced by an 80-hour movement, which is an automatic mechanical movement of Powermatic 80.11; At present, Tissot 80 has 80.11,80.60 1, 80.81. The escapement wheel of the escapement fork is made of plastic, which is easy to break, and it is easy to get hairy when the oil is dry, so there is an error in walking. Recently, the new one is made of steel and added with silicon hairspring. But this silicon hairspring will be expensive if it is broken.

The budget of high-priced watches is insufficient; Low-priced watches, but also worried about poor quality, or worried that their temperament does not match. In fact, to buy a watch, you must first understand your personal style and what you usually wear, so as to show your temperament and leave a good impression.

There are many entry-level watches, Swiss, Japanese and domestic.

The Swiss mechanical watch 3K+ is an introduction.

Domestic 1K+ is the starting point.

Today, we will introduce the new entry watch that is popular in 20 16.

Mido Belle Silly Series M027.407.16.010.00 Watch, the public price is 7600.

The triangular hour hand, minute hand, hour mark and central second hand with cut surface are decorated with PVD-plated rose gold, which enhances readability on the gray surface background without losing the fashionable texture.

There are generally several options for entry-level mechanical watches.

The first is brand selection, which is the old routine, Tissot, Dumei, Longines, Cartier, Omega, Rolex, Wanguo and Jaeger-LeCoultre. Upgrade all the way, and upgrade the configuration according to the requirements of European watches.

The participating styles are all top brands, namely Tissot, Meidu and Longines.

This is based on the choice of general road number, but I personally recommend this special road number.

The second way: choose your favorite and personalized brand instead of the popular brand above.

Choose some niche brands, others are less common.

For example, a few years ago, I chose seven Fridays or dw. Now these watches are rotten in the street, so I can't choose this one.

Now there is a wild horse that will slowly start to catch fire, but if you can put it on now, it will be a pioneer. At least three or five years have passed since it really caught fire.

At this time, you can change to another trendy brand.

Of course, one disadvantage of this choice is that every popular brand has a life span of three to five years, and the time is getting longer and longer, so it is so popular.

But if you follow the first road number above, it will not be out of date for more than ten years.

Because these brands have a history of hundreds of years, their watches will not change for decades.

Today, I will introduce a Russian clown watch to you. It will take at least five years for it to catch fire when it just debuted in China.

So now is a good time to start. Of course, one of the biggest benefits of choosing this brand is that people feel that you have taste and personality, not sameness.

Xu Bugong: I recommend that these entry-level mechanical watches have several characteristics: 1, mostly within 10,000 yuan. 2, the kind of mechanical watch that focuses on the strength of boyfriend. Ha ha. Due to the well-known tariff problem, the dollar price of each brand is attached for comparison.

Beijing watches, there are many watches with a price of 1,000 yuan or 2,000 yuan, some with a slightly higher price, and some with a price of 5,000 yuan or 6,000 yuan.

There are Fiyta, Shanghai brand, seagull and so on. The price of mechanical watches of these domestic brands is generally less than 10,000 yuan, and those above 10,000 yuan are relatively high-end products.

And Japanese brand mechanical watches can also be used as an entry choice.

Citizen, Seiko and Casio all have mechanical watches with a starting price of about 3,000 yuan, which are all good entry watches.

Seiko also has high-end mechanical watches, such as GS used to compare with Rolex, and it is much more expensive.

In recent years, Citizen has acquired European watch brands as its high-end products, such as constance and Jarno.

Swiss mechanical watches also have entry options, and there are many within 10 thousand.

Well-known ones, such as Tissot, Meidu, Hamilton and Xuetie of Swatch Group, range from five or six thousand to seven or eight thousand.

Of course, Swatch's system 5 1 is the most advanced, and the mechanical watch with the least parts can also be sold for more than 1,000 yuan.
