Kind Words From Seagull Watch Owners

FEATURED PRESS

Mechanical rattrapante aka split-seconds chronographs have long been one of the most complicated and difficult to produce complications out there. Sea-Gull Rattrapante, this $3,649 Chinese watch could be the best value in watchmaking, China's first-ever split-seconds chronograph and will likely make a splash throughout the industry.

Bilal Khan

While most tribute pieces that you see have a history revolving around American or European firsts or feats, this watch pays tribute to a Chinese accomplishment. The Seagull 1963 Air Force Watch is a tribute to the very first watch that was manufactured in China, for the Chinese Air Force.

Michael Williams

Sea-Gull is of the few Chinese watch brands that do a decent job marketing themselves, and offer an arguably good value. If you explore Sea-Gull’s site a bit, you can see that they have gold watches and those with traditionally upscale complications such minute repeaters and tourbillons. These go for many thousands – all from a Chinese maker.

Paul Hubbard

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

Tim Breining

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.

Keith W. Strandberg

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