Shanghai’s 1120 was the factory’s first fully independently designed movement, introduced around 1966 as a modernization of the earlier A581 and produced in large numbers as a core caliber. This movement marked a significant milestone in Chinese watchmaking by combining technical innovation with stylistic refinement, making the Shanghai 1120 a notable piece of horological history.

Key Features of Shanghai 1120:

  • First in-house 1120 movement from Shanghai Watch Factory, debuting in early 1966
  • Shanghai's first logo, a logo shaped like and inspired by Broadway Mansion in Shanghai 
  • Classic 34 mm case, and decagonal screw-down caseback, conceptually echoing the Borgel-style caseback
  • Gold indices and hands contrast beautifully against the silver dial
  • Red-tipped seconds hand that adds a small pop of colour and improves legibility when tracking seconds.

Condition

The silver dial developed patina around the edge consistent with its 1970s origins. The unpolished case preserves its crisp, sharp edges. The caseback engravings remain fully intact and legible.

Despite hairline cracks on the exterior plexiglass at the 2 o'clock position, the manual winding action delivers precise, tactile feedback.
