最早期白漆紅字紅旗
Founding and Focus
Founded in May 1970, Red Flag Watch Company specialized in producing 17-jewel hand-wound watches, with an emphasis on craftsmanship and cultural significance.
Cultural Representation
Among its offerings, the milky white lacquer watch with red inscriptions stands out as a symbol of Chinese culture. This timepiece, while not the most expensive in the current market, embodies a unique spiritual quality. Its simple dial and understated wording create a remarkable character that resonates with wearers.
Features of the Watch
Movement: The first batch featured an 18,000 beats per hour movement, specifically the LS2 watch calibre.
Design: The dial showcases a milky white finish lacquer dial, akin to ivory, which enhances the striking red "Red Flag" logo. This logo is not only printed but also engraved on the splint of the watch's movement, enhancing its visual impact.
Aesthetic Value: The "Red Flag" logo is lauded for its beauty, making this watch one of the most aesthetically pleasing domestic watches of its time. It is often regarded as one of the best Chinese watches ever made.
Challenges and Collectibility
Despite its beauty and cultural significance, the watch faced production challenges during the planned economy era. The focus on high output compromised quality, leading to the discontinuation of the milky white lacquer finish dial watches:.
Production Issues: High costs and low efficiency in producing the lacquered surface made it unsustainable for mass production.
Durability Concerns: The red ink used for the logo was prone to fading with prolonged sun exposure. As a result, the milky white dial Red Flag watch was produced for a limited time, making it a highly collectible piece among enthusiasts.
1970年生产的最初批次红旗表使用18000慢摆
LS2机心、乳白漆或银色电镀盘面、红色油印“红旗”Logo。其机心上夹板冲刻有“红旗”二字的,彰显着机器的张力和强烈的视觉冲击力。该类红旗表尤其是乳白漆盘的红旗表,其乳色盘面呈现象牙般质感,衬托着红色
“红旗”Logo,非常漂亮,是所有红旗表乃至当年所有国产表中,设计最唯美的一款表,堪称国表精品.
遗憾的是,在计划经济年代,工业生产追求“多、快、好、省”,由于乳白漆盘面生产存在工艺性差、产量和生产效率低、成本高等情况,这对于以提高产量为主要指标的手表厂而言,是不可接受的。加之这款表
Logo使用的红色油墨有长时间在阳光照射下容易退色的缺陷,这款红旗表只生产了很短的时间就停了。
