The Shanghai Watch Auspicious Steeds Limited Edition brings traditional Chinese symbolism into a contemporary mechanical watch format.
Its mother-of-pearl dial serves as both a decorative surface and a storytelling element, setting it apart from the brand’s more restrained models.
Inspiration & Cultural Design
The “Auspicious Steeds” theme draws from traditional Chinese cultural motifs, where horses symbolise strength, progress, and success.
This narrative is translated onto the dial through detailed artwork, creating a watch that leans more toward artistic expression than conventional dress watch minimalism.
Unlike the Pioneer or 1955 series, this piece is designed to be visually engaging first, with heritage references embedded into the design.
Dial & Case Details
The mother-of-pearl dial forms the foundation of the watch’s identity.
Its natural iridescence creates shifting tones under light, adding depth and variation that cannot be replicated through standard dial finishes.
The engraved or printed horse motif sits against this surface, giving the watch a layered, almost dimensional quality.
The 40mm case provides enough space for the dial artwork to be appreciated without feeling oversized on the wrist.
Movement & Mechanics
Powering the watch is the self-winding ST812 automatic movement, delivering dependable accuracy and approximately 42 hours of power reserve.
The transparent sapphire caseback reveals a decorated movement finished with traditional fish-scale engraving - a subtle mechanical detail that complements the artistry on the dial.
Reliable, refined, and built for everyday wear.
Strap & Wearability
Paired with a leather strap, the watch maintains a dress-oriented profile despite its more expressive dial.
At 40mm, it wears slightly more contemporary than traditional dress watches, making it easier to integrate into both formal and smart-casual settings.
Final Impression
This is not a conventional dress watch.
It sits closer to a wearable piece of design - where cultural symbolism and material choice take precedence over restraint.
For the right wearer, that distinction is exactly the appeal.

The Shanghai Watch Auspicious Steeds Starry Dial Limited Edition offers a more restrained interpretation of the series, combining sculptural relief work with a darker, more controlled dial.
It retains the symbolic narrative while shifting the overall tone toward something quieter and more versatile.
Inspiration & Design
The “Auspicious Steeds” motif draws from traditional Chinese symbolism, where the horse represents strength, momentum, and progress.
In this version, the composition is set against a starry-textured dial, evoking a night-sky backdrop. This creates a different visual dynamic - one that emphasises contrast and depth rather than colour intensity.
The result is a design that feels more atmospheric, with the motif emerging gradually depending on light.
Dial & Case Details
The aventurine dial creates a deep night-sky effect, with mineral flecks sparkling like distant constellations. Under shifting light, the surface reveals subtle movement - like a miniature galaxy captured beneath sapphire crystal.
At its centre rises the hand-sculpted 18K gold horse, carved in relief with flowing mane and powerful stance. The gold engraving contrasts dramatically against the dark celestial backdrop, creating visual depth and dimensional tension.
The 40mm case is crafted from 316L stainless steel and finished in warm PVD gold, balancing durability with refined presence. The metallic tone harmonises naturally with the gold relief while remaining suitable for everyday wear.
Movement & Mechanics
Powering the Starry Dial edition is the self-winding ST812 automatic movement, offering dependable accuracy and approximately 42 hours of power reserve.
The transparent sapphire caseback reveals a decorated movement finished with traditional fish-scale engraving - a classical mechanical detail that complements the watch’s celestial theme.
Beneath the cosmic surface lies steady, disciplined engineering.
Strap & Wearability
Thoughtful proportions and a curved case profile ensure comfortable daily wear despite the dial’s sculptural depth. The balanced 40mm size provides presence without excess, making the watch suitable for both formal occasions and expressive everyday styling.
The gold-toned architecture adds warmth, while the aventurine dial introduces a subtle, captivating glow that never feels overpowering.
Final Impression
The Shanghai Auspicious Steeds Starry Dial transforms symbolism into atmosphere. By pairing 18K gold relief engraving with aventurine’s cosmic shimmer, it offers a poetic yet grounded expression of ambition.
Limited, sculptural, and mechanically sound - a watch that carries success written across the stars.

The Shanghai Watch Commander Dive 39mm is built as a compact, functional dive watch designed for everyday reliability.
It combines a robust case with a clean, legible layout, keeping the focus on usability.
Inspiration & Cultural Design
The Commander series traces its origins to the 1960s, when the Shanghai Watch Factory developed the 114 Series - China’s first self-designed military automatic diving watch.
Built for the People’s Liberation Army, it was engineered for durability, with shock resistance, anti-magnetism, and water resistance up to 200 meters. Issued to division-level commanders, it became associated with leadership and reliability in demanding conditions.
The modern Commander Diver draws from this foundation, retaining the utilitarian design language while updating performance to meet contemporary standards, including increased water resistance.
The result is a watch that balances historical reference with practical functionality.
Dial & Case Details
The black dial provides maximum contrast, ensuring strong legibility across different lighting environments.
Markers and hands are designed for clear visibility, supporting the watch’s tool-oriented purpose.
The 39mm case keeps the watch compact while maintaining the presence expected of a dive watch.
A unidirectional bezel supports timing functionality, while a sapphire crystal protects the dial.
Movement & Mechanics
Powered by an automatic mechanical movement, the watch delivers dependable performance for daily and active use.
The focus remains on reliability and consistency under regular wear.
Strap & Wearability
The watch comes with three strap options - a metal bracelet, leather strap, and NATO strap - allowing it to adapt across different uses and settings.
This flexibility lets the watch shift easily between a more robust, tool-oriented feel and a lighter, more casual configuration.
Despite its functional design, the 39mm case remains comfortable on the wrist, making it suitable for extended wear across both daily and active use.
Final Impression
This is a straightforward, functional dive watch.
It focuses on usability and durability, offering a more compact alternative within the category.

The Shanghai Watch Commander Scout traces its lineage to the Type 114, Shanghai Watch’s first military diving watch.
Developed in the 1960s in response to military requirements, the Type 114 combined automatic winding and a date complication with enhanced resistance to shock, magnetism and water. Some examples were issued to senior military officers, contributing to its reputation as an officer’s watch or general’s watch.
The modern Commander revisits that history through a compact 37.5mm case, 300m water resistance and a unidirectional titanium bezel. For the Scout, Shanghai Watch combines those functional foundations with a silver-grey sunray dial and beige nylon-leather strap for a softer, more understated interpretation.
Inspiration & Design
The Commander collection draws directly from Shanghai Watch’s Type 114 military diving watch.
Its origins can be traced to the A641 project of 1964, an experimental high-grade slim watch that contributed to subsequent development. Following a requirement for an automatic watch with date display and enhanced shock, magnetic and water resistance, Shanghai Watch developed the 29-jewel Type 114 military diving watch in 1965. A 24-jewel version using the SS4C movement followed in 1968.
The contemporary Commander retains recognisable elements from the Type 114 while refining them for modern wear. Shanghai’s calligraphic signature remains at 12 o’clock, the date window occupies the traditional 3 o’clock position, and the characteristic wedge-shaped hour markers have been streamlined.
At 6 o’clock sits the distinctive two-bar, four-star insignia, providing the most immediate visual reference to the Commander identity.
Dial & Case
The Scout is distinguished by its silver-grey sunray dial, whose brushed surface shifts subtly with changing light. Grey-toned hands and indices maintain the restrained palette, while the steel-coloured two-bar, four-star insignia sits above the “Made in China” signature at 6 o’clock.
Pencil-shaped hour and minute hands are paired with a slender seconds hand with a broadened tip. The three-dimensional wedge indices and hands are treated with Super-LumiNova® for low-light visibility.
The satin-brushed 316L stainless-steel case measures 37.5mm across and 13.45mm thick, topped by a domed sapphire crystal. Shanghai Watch pairs it with a silver-grey unidirectional titanium bezel, which also incorporates Super-LumiNova®. The material brings strength and corrosion resistance while reducing weight around the perimeter of the watch.
A screw-down steel crown and solid steel caseback help deliver a substantial 300m / 30ATM water-resistance rating.
Movement
Inside is Shanghai Watch’s ST2130 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour / 4Hz.
The 28-jewel calibre provides central hours, minutes and seconds together with the date display at 3 o’clock, with approximately 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound.
A solid steel caseback keeps the emphasis on durability and the Commander’s tool-watch character rather than displaying the movement.
Bracelet / Strap
The Scout is supplied on a 20mm beige nylon-and-leather strap, chosen to complement the cooler silver-grey dial and case. It uses a conventional pin buckle and quick-release construction.
Also included is a 20mm stainless-steel bracelet, fitted with a turtle-back clasp and quick-release system. This effectively gives the Scout two distinct personalities: more relaxed and field-inspired on the beige strap, or more conventionally dive-watch oriented on steel.
Final Thoughts
The Commander Scout demonstrates how effectively Shanghai Watch can use its archives without becoming constrained by them.
The Type 114 provides genuine historical substance, but the modern watch stands on its own: compact dimensions, sapphire crystal, a titanium diving bezel and 300m water resistance make it a capable contemporary tool watch.
Of the two Commander executions, the Scout is the quieter choice. Its silver-grey palette and beige strap soften the military influence without erasing it - making the watch particularly easy to wear beyond its historical context.

The Shanghai Watch Commander Sniper traces its lineage to the Type 114, the brand’s first military diving watch.
Developed in the 1960s in response to requirements from the Chinese military, the Type 114 combined automatic winding, a date complication and enhanced resistance to shock, magnetism and water. Some examples were issued to senior military officers, earning the watch the informal reputation of an officer’s watch or general’s watch.
The modern Commander revisits that history in a more compact form. The Sniper pairs a 37.5mm gunmetal steel case with a dark sunray dial, titanium diving bezel and 300m water resistance - retaining the utilitarian character of its predecessor while bringing the construction firmly into the present.
Inspiration & Design
The Commander collection draws directly from Shanghai Watch’s Type 114 military diving watch.
Its origins can be traced to the A641 project of 1964, an experimental high-grade slim watch that provided a foundation for subsequent development. Following a requirement for an automatic watch with a date display and enhanced shock, magnetic and water resistance, Shanghai Watch further developed the design and in 1965 produced the 29-jewel Type 114 military diving watch. A later 24-jewel version powered by the SS4C movement followed in 1968.
The contemporary Commander retains recognisable elements of the Type 114 while refining them for modern proportions. Shanghai’s calligraphic signature remains at 12 o’clock, the date window sits at 3, and the original wedge-shaped hour markers have been streamlined without losing their distinctive geometry.
At 6 o’clock, the two-bar, four-star insignia references military rank and provides the most direct visual link to the Commander identity.
Dial & Case
The Sniper takes the darker of the two titanium-bezel Commander executions. Its black sunray dial is designed to reveal subtle changes in texture under changing light, while tonal hands, indices and the two-bar, four-star emblem reinforce its deliberately subdued appearance.
Pencil-shaped hour and minute hands are joined by a slender seconds hand with a broadened tip. The three-dimensional wedge indices and hands are treated with Super-LumiNova® for visibility in low light.
The 37.5mm case is made from 316L stainless steel with a gunmetal finish and measures 13.45mm thick. Satin-brushed surfaces maintain the tool-watch character, while a domed sapphire crystal protects the dial.
Around it sits one of the more interesting updates to the historic design: a unidirectional titanium diving bezel, selected for its strength, corrosion resistance and reduced weight. The bezel itself incorporates Super-LumiNova®, extending nighttime legibility beyond the dial.
A screw-down crown and solid steel caseback contribute to a substantial 300m / 30ATM water-resistance rating.
Movement
Inside is Shanghai Watch’s ST2130 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour / 4Hz.
The 28-jewel calibre provides central hours, minutes and seconds together with the date display at 3 o’clock, and delivers approximately 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound.
Rather than using an exhibition caseback, Shanghai Watch has chosen a solid steel back for this Commander - an appropriate decision for a watch whose identity is rooted more firmly in military utility and diving capability than movement display.
Bracelet / Strap
The Sniper is supplied on a 20mm black nylon-and-leather strap with a pin buckle. Its quick-release construction makes changing the watch’s character particularly straightforward.
Also included is a 20mm gunmetal stainless-steel bracelet, fitted with a turtle-back clasp and its own quick-release system. The darker bracelet creates a more integrated, monochromatic appearance, while the nylon-leather strap emphasises the Commander’s field and military character.
Final Thoughts
The Commander Sniper succeeds because Shanghai Watch has resisted simply reproducing an old military watch.
The historical cues are still there - the calligraphic signature, date position, wedge indices and military insignia - but the 37.5mm proportions, titanium bezel, sapphire crystal and 300m water resistance make this a genuinely modern tool watch.
Its Type 114 lineage gives it a story worth knowing. Its compact dimensions and dark gunmetal execution mean you don’t need to be a history enthusiast to appreciate it.

The Shanghai Watch Magnolia Blossom Silver presents a refined, design-led interpretation of floral symbolism through material and texture.
Rather than relying on bold contrast, it builds depth through light, surface, and proportion.
Inspiration & Design
The Magnolia series draws from the flower’s association with resilience and quiet strength.
Instead of literal illustration, the dial interprets this through layered mother-of-pearl elements, allowing the motif to emerge subtly through reflection and movement.
This approach keeps the design controlled, with visual interest developing over time rather than at first glance.
Dial & Case Details
The dial is constructed using mother-of-pearl, creating soft tonal variation as light shifts across the surface.
Surrounding the dial is a bezel set with cubic zirconia, adding a controlled level of brilliance without overwhelming the composition.
The case design incorporates subtle references to traditional Chinese forms, with refined lugs that frame the dial cleanly.
At 36mm, the proportions remain compact and balanced on the wrist.
Movement & Mechanics
Powered by an automatic mechanical movement, the watch delivers reliable daily performance.
A sapphire caseback reveals a decorated movement with traditional finishing, adding a secondary layer of detail.
Strap & Wearability
Paired with a leather strap, the watch wears light and comfortably.
The 36mm size makes it particularly suitable for smaller wrists, while the neutral dial allows it to transition easily across different settings.
Final Impression
It focuses on material, light, and proportion rather than strong visual statements, allowing the dial to reveal more detail over time.
This makes it particularly easy to wear across different settings, without feeling overly formal or decorative.

The Shanghai Watch Moonlit Serpentine White Dial 36mm presents a lighter, more open interpretation of the series.
It retains the same architectural inspiration, expressed through a brighter dial that emphasises clarity and structure.
Inspiration & Design
The Moonlit Serpentine draws from the layout of traditional Chinese gardens, where pathways and structures are revealed progressively through movement.
In this variant, the design feels more immediate. The lighter dial brings forward the architectural references, allowing the composition to be read more clearly at a glance.
Motifs inspired by elements such as the Huxinting Pavilion and winding bridges are integrated into the dial as part of the overall structure.
Dial & Case Details
The white dial provides a clean base that enhances legibility and highlights the layered detailing.
Subtle contrasts between surfaces allow the serpentine-inspired elements to emerge without adding visual weight.
The 36mm stainless steel case keeps the watch compact and balanced, supporting the dial without overpowering it.
A sapphire crystal ensures clarity, while 50m water resistance adds practicality for daily wear.
Movement & Mechanics
Powered by an automatic mechanical movement, the watch delivers reliable, consistent performance.
The classic three-hand layout keeps the watch intuitive and easy to read, aligning with its overall design clarity.
Strap & Wearability
Paired with a leather strap, the watch wears light and comfortably.
Its 36mm size makes it suitable for a wide range of wrists, particularly for those who prefer a more compact, refined fit.
Final Impression
The design relies on clarity and proportion rather than contrast, making the details easier to appreciate at a glance.
This gives the watch a more versatile character, suitable across both formal and everyday settings.

Inspiration & Design
The Pioneer series reflects Shanghai Watch’s more modern direction, focusing on clarity, proportion, and everyday usability.
In this chronograph version, the design remains controlled. Sub-dials are integrated cleanly into the layout, maintaining symmetry and legibility rather than adding visual complexity.

The Shanghai Watch Pioneer Moonphase Salmon Edition brings a softer, more expressive tone to the brand’s contemporary dress watch line.
It combines a clean, modern layout with a traditional moonphase complication, anchored by a salmon dial that adds depth without excess.
Inspiration & Design
The Pioneer series reflects Shanghai Watch’s shift toward a more refined, contemporary design language while staying grounded in its mechanical roots.
This edition introduces a salmon dial - a colour historically associated with higher-end watchmaking - used here in a restrained way to complement the watch’s balanced, architectural layout.
Dial & Case Details
The salmon dial is the defining feature, offering subtle tonal variation depending on lighting conditions.
The moonphase display is integrated cleanly into the dial, maintaining symmetry and avoiding visual clutter.

Movement & Mechanics
Powered by an automatic mechanical movement with moonphase complication, the watch focuses on practical reliability.
The inclusion of a moonphase adds functional interest while remaining easy to live with as a daily mechanical watch.
Strap & Wearability
The watch is paired with a leather strap that complements the warmth of the dial.
Its moderate case size and balanced proportions make it suitable for extended wear across both casual and formal settings.
Final Impression
This is where Shanghai Watch becomes more interesting.
The Pioneer line already offers a cleaner, more contemporary base — and the salmon dial pushes it further into collector territory without losing restraint.
