Brand: Beijing (北京). Reference: BG951005. [Version: black dial].

Combining both modern and traditional style architectures, Beijing is one of the oldest cities in the world, with a rich history dating back over three millennia. As the last of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, Beijing has been the political center of the country for most of the past eight centuries, and was the largest city in the world by population for much of the second millennium CE.

This model from Beijing Watch's Oriental Culture series adopts the orthodox symmetrical aesthetics. The line elements of the mortise and tenon structure are incorporated into the watch indices to make it present a symmetrical “T” shape. The sunburst pattern effect on the dial was created after dozens of times of manual polishing and then manual sandblasting. This watch combines the essence of excellent watchmaking, and presents the beauty of balance of the watch with its unique symmetrical design and simple style.
