Why it scores 72
Proportions and movement are computed from specs. Design details and functions are judged from the brand's official images. How we score
Proportions27.8 / 30
- Case diameter12 / 12Same size
- Lug-to-lug8 / 8Same size
- Thickness5.8 / 60.1 mm apart
- Lug width2 / 41 mm apart
Design signatures23 / 40
- Overlapping sub-dials in silver, grey and blue6 / 12Some variants use silver, blue and grey sub-dials as on the original, but they sit apart and do not overlap, and the panda, black and green variants use two tones.
- Round bezel-less case with sharp, faceted lugs3.5 / 7Round case with a slim polished ring and chamfered, radially brushed lugs. It is not bezel-less and the lugs are less sharply faceted than on the original.
- Red central chronograph seconds hand6 / 6Red central chronograph seconds hand on most variants. The green rose-gold variant uses a gold hand.
- Trapezoid date window at 4:300 / 5No date window on the dial. A 24-hour sub-dial sits at 6 instead.
- Applied, faceted, rhodium-plated hour markers2.5 / 5Applied polished baton markers with lume. They look plain rather than faceted in the official images.
- White hands with black and luminous inserts3 / 3Polished silver hands with lume and black sections, close to the original's white hands with black and lume inserts.
- Pump-style chronograph pushers2 / 2Two round-topped pushers with a visible stem, in the pump style.
Functions and materials16 / 20
- Complications4 / 8Chronograph with a 30-minute counter and running seconds, hand-wound. The original is automatic with a date and small seconds; this has a 24-hour sub-dial and no date.
- Bezel action4 / 4No rotating bezel on either watch; the tachymeter scale is on the dial.
- Case and bezel materials4 / 4316L stainless steel case, as on the original (some variants are rose-gold coloured).
- Crystal shape and date window4 / 4Sapphire crystal, domed, as on the original. The original has no cyclops either; the missing date window is covered under the complication.

What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 2 reviews we read or watched, 1 of them with a watch supplied by the brand.
Reviewers find the finishing strong for the price: radially brushed lug tops, polished chamfers and sides, a low-profile bezel ring and a domed sapphire crystal that wears thinner than its 13 mm suggests. Both single out the dial printing and the lume, which one calls among the brightest on a chronograph and the other better than it needs to be, and both say the hand-wound ST1903 with its swan-neck regulator runs well out of the box.
The criticisms are small. One reviewer finds the end links finished less evenly than the rest of the bracelet and the on-the-fly clasp slightly large. The other would prefer white hands, as black hand tips get lost on dark dials. One reviewer sees the 24-hour sub-dial at 6 as the main compromise against the original, which has a date.
Good
- Column-wheel chronograph movement with a swan-neck regulator
- Sapphire crystal and domed profile that wears thinner than 13 mm
- Case and bracelet finishing praised for the price
- Lume described as bright for a chronograph
- Nine dial and strap combinations
Less good
- Hand-wound only and not hacking
- 24-hour sub-dial at 6 in place of a date
- One reviewer found the end links less evenly finished
- Black hand tips are hard to read on dark dials (one reviewer)
