Chat with Seagull expert to know the details

THE SOUL OF THE SEAGULL 1963

The Seagull 1963 is powered by a hand-wound ST19 chronograph movement. This 21-jewel (Seagull 1963 Original Limited Edition)、22-jewel (Seagull 1963 Times 60th Anniversary Edition) mechanical caliber was directly derived from the original ST3 used in the very first 1963 chronographs.

Winding the crown sets the mainspring which provides a 40+ hour power reserve. Vibration frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz), with high stability. The column wheel operated chronograph allows time measurements up to 30 minutes.

The flyback function allows the chronograph to be reset and restarted with a single push of the reset button rather than stopping, resetting and restarting in separate steps. This results in faster timing sequences.

Kind Words From Seagull Owners

Testimonials

EUROPA STAR

The quality of the movements has been amazingly stable. The Chinese have been making mechanical movements for a very long time. Seagull is the strongest and the best quality.

NEWS JOURNAL

Quality timepieces don 't have to cost a fortune. Seagull traces its roots to 1958, when the company was founded and it has been cranking out mechanical timepieces ever since.

CHRONO24

That all changed when the Tianjin Seagull landed a cult hit with the ST19, a remake of the historical Venus 175 chronograph movement.

MONOCHROME

Seagull movements have a proven history, Swiss roots and allow for cool, intriguing watches for less than their Swiss and often Japanese counterparts.
