Cool....I happen to be in shanghai now....it's all over the news and there's a channel with 24/7 coverage on the expedition.

Also saw this brand selling at parksons along huai hai zhong lu...was trying to find seagull but was told seagull has pulled out of shanghai...

Is this a china brand?

Yup... Company registered in HK, watches MIC... mostly very ex... Even Seagull and Shanghai cannot fight their price

Looks pretty impressive for a china brand
But dont quite understand why the US flag is in the watch website

I believe the Omega Speedmaster gained cult status when it was certified by NASA for the Apollo program, and being the first and only watch on the moon, there was great interest by watch collectors for any model that has been in space. Obviously the manufacturers knew this, and often use the fact to sell more watches, and raise the status and popularity of the brand.

However I dont quite see the same happening for Fiyta?
