Peacock 1953 Aircraft Hand Watch: Heritage Meets Horological Innovation in a Tribute to China's Watchmaking Pioneers
- On June 1, 2025, Peacock Watch introduced a limited-edition timepiece in Shenzhen, China, that celebrates mid-20th century Chinese watchmaking traditions through a design inspired by the vintage 1970s Hongqi commemorative model.
- The watch draws inspiration from the 1970s Hongqi commemorative watch's sweeping aircraft-shaped seconds hand, a symbol of hope and technological progress.
- It features refined five-facet cut hour and minute hands with rare hand-flame-blued titanium finished between 550-600°C, producing a natural blue-violet iridescence without paint.
- The collection features four distinct dial colors—CANGXIAN, XI, and SHU—each representing elements such as water, frost, dawn, and sunrise, and embodying qualities like endurance, quiet power, fresh beginnings, and luminous brilliance. These themes are complemented by Arabic numerals inspired by traditional Zan Ke engraving and brushwork, along with artistic detailing in the date window.
- Encased in 904L aerospace steel with a 38.5 mm case, the watch houses the PAX6910 automatic caliber with Swiss finishing and robust reliability, paired with a hand-stitched Novonappa strap engraved "1953.7.27".
