Farasute 2241 Doctor Automatic Watch — Guangzhou Auto, 31mm Rectangular, Dual-Register

Farasute 2241 Doctor Automatic Watch — Guangzhou Auto, 31mm Rectangular, Dual-Register

The Farasute 2241 is a 31mm Seagull ST17 automatic rectangular dress watch with a dual-register dial — hours and minutes displayed in the upper portion, running seconds in a separate lower register — inspired by the “doctor watch” format of the 1920s–40s. Art Deco stepped rectangular case, sapphire crystal, 316L stainless steel, genuine leather strap with pin buckle and 3ATM water resistance. Available in A-Series silver, B-Series silver, salmon, brown and black.

Spec note: Movement is Guangzhou automatic. Case thickness listed as 8.2mm in the product listing and 10.7mm in the product overview — confirm from the watch itself on receipt.

Key Specifications

Variants — Five Dial Configurations

A-Series silver: Silver-toned textured dial with Roman numeral hour display and contrasting small seconds register — the most formally classical configuration.

B-Series silver: A more traditional silver with Arabic numerals and historical design references — the alternative silver variant for buyers who prefer Arabic numerals over Roman.

Salmon: Warm salmon dial — the most vintage-resonant of the five. Salmon on a rectangular Art Deco case with dual-register is the closest configuration to the original physician watch aesthetic of the 1920s.

Brown: A vintage-inspired brown dial — earthy and warm, creating the most casual-formal character of the five.

Black: High-contrast black with silver-tone markings — the most contemporary interpretation of the Art Deco rectangular format.

The Doctor Watch Format

The “doctor watch” designation references a specific historical watch type: rectangular wristwatches with separate time and seconds registers, worn by physicians in the early 20th century for pulse timing. The separate seconds register at the lower portion of the dial allowed precise 15-second and 30-second counts for manual pulse measurement without a sweeping hand crossing the main time display.

The design convention — upper register for hours/minutes, lower register for running seconds — became associated with the medical profession and with the Art Deco era more broadly, appearing in watches from several European manufacturers between approximately 1920 and 1945. The Farasute 2241 references this format with a stepped rectangular Art Deco case and the dual-register layout.

Guangzhou Automatic Movement

The 2241 uses a Guangzhou automatic caliber — a self-winding movement from Guangzhou Watch Group, a Chinese manufacturer. The movement winds through wrist motion — no daily crown winding required under normal wear. The specific caliber designation within the Guangzhou range is not listed in the product documentation.

Spec note on thickness: The product listing states 8.2mm; the product overview document states 10.7mm. A Guangzhou automatic movement is thicker than a Hangzhou hand-wound, making 10.7mm more plausible. Confirm from the physical watch on receipt before publishing.

Dual-Register Dial Layout

Upper display: Hours and minutes — the primary time reading. The upper portion of the rectangular dial carries the hour markers and the two main hands.

Lower display: Running seconds — a continuously sweeping sub-dial in the lower portion of the case confirming the movement is operating. The visual separation of seconds from the main time display is the defining characteristic of the doctor watch dial and gives the 2241 its period-appropriate layout.

The step between the upper and lower dial sections — the “stepped” design — creates a visual hierarchy: the main time display elevated above the seconds register, with a physical transition between them.

2241 in the Farasute Rectangular Range

The 2241 is the only automatic movement in the Farasute non-round range — the others are all hand-wound. For buyers who want the rectangular Art Deco dress watch character without daily winding, the 2241 is the correct choice.

Who Is the Farasute 2241 For?

The 2241 is built for:

• Doctor watch format buyers who want the historical dual-register rectangular layout in a Seagull automatic movement
• Automatic rectangular dress watch buyers — the only automatic in the Farasute non-round range
• Salmon or brown dial buyers who want the vintage-warm palette on a rectangular Art Deco doctor watch
• B-Series silver buyers who want Arabic numerals rather than Roman on the silver rectangular configuration

How It Compares

vs. Farasute 5321A-1 Art Deco — The 5321A-1 is hand-wound at 33mm with pyramid markers and Roman numerals. The 2241 is automatic at 31mm with dual-register doctor format. Choose 2241 for automatic convenience; choose 5321A-1 for the pyramid marker Art Deco dial.

vs. Farasute 5302A Square — The 5302A is hand-wound at 31mm irregular square with Arabic numerals. The 2241 is automatic at 31mm rectangular with dual-register. Same case width, different shape and movement type.

vs. Farasute NL007B-1 Jump Hour — Both are Seagull automatic dress watches in slim profiles. The NL007B-1 is 38mm round with jump hour display; the 2241 is 31mm rectangular with dual-register doctor format. Different case shape and time display mechanism.
