Tianjin Watch Factory became famous throughout China for producing the first Chinese watch in 1961. The factory was commissioned to manufacture the first Chinese aviation watch (chronograph) for the Air Force of the People's Liberation Army. The code of this assignment was "304".

The factory pre-manufactured three batches of the aviation watch by October 1962. 38 leaders and experts (industrial ministry, air command, and naval equipment supervisors) came together for the appraisal of the watch at the end of the year. The meeting was a success and the Tianjin Watch Factory received permission to begin mass production of the watch. In 1963 the factory completed and delivered 1400 aviation watches to the Chinese Air Force.

This is the official remake of the watch as it was created in 1963 - a unique and limited classic timepiece. It has hand winding chronograph movement with 19 jewels. It comes assembled with a transparent crystal back. The watch is a special edition and comes in a wooden box with original gold-foil logo stamping.
