[Chinese Mvmnt thread]-[AutoChrono]- What's out there?

Post by Ed.YEO » 17 Feb 2015 18:31

I guess most of the folks here knows that Chinese Chronograph movements do not limit in hand-winders only by now...
Let's share what had you found from other makers using this budget friendly, yet doesn't loose out in quality movement.

Nice, but can anyone advice if servcing would be expensive and if there is any local watch repair for these movements?

Looks like a common design to follow.

Woah would love to see OM offer a Chinese auto chrono, they should be able to deliver a solid product at good price versus other micros

looks like the NE88 will be the potential candidate as AUTOCHRONO alternative from the EAST... Torsten Nagengast of Germany had used that for 2 of his watches in his regular production range.
However the only thing about NE88... is the limited serviceability which was mentioned in one of the WatchUSeek discussion thread...

I had been looking into Russian pieces recently. Most of the time targetting on 31679 or 31659/77 calibre watches. During the search, such "BERITLING Inspired" design seems quite common. But the MC NightHunter is the only model out there using Chinese AutoChrono...

a challenge on parts and components sourcing?
