History repeating itself was never really a lesson we paid much attention to. If we had, we probably wouldn’t keep walking down the raccoon eyed, blond hair woman path, but that’s not the point. The point is, historically, there are things you should be mindful of – like watches… specifically the 1963 Chinese Air Force Chronograph. Lovingly reproduced by Seagull, this particular iteration of that same watch has the iconic red star, 19 jewel bezel, hand winding chronograph movement and stainless steel case as the original, but since it’s a modern reproduction it’s a fraction of the cost of the original. Quality, style and historical significance – all for less than a night of bottle service.
