Key Features

• Original Seagull ST1901 Movement: Hand-wind mechanical movement known for its precision and durability, offering a traditional watchmaking experience with manual winding. This movement is a modern reproduction of a historic Chinese aviation chronograph mechanism, favored for its reliability and smooth operation.
• Chronograph Functionality: Equipped with start, stop, and reset pushers (P1 and P2) for accurate timing measurement. Press P1 to begin timing, press it again to pause, and use P2 to reset the seconds hand to 12 o’clock. Perfect for timing events, workouts, cooking, or any daily task requiring precise intervals.
• Synthetic Sapphire Crystal: Scratch-resistant mirror surface ensures long-term clarity and protection against daily wear and tear. This high-quality material maintains its polish over time, resisting minor abrasions from keys, desks, or accidental contact.
• Luminous Display: Hands and hour markers glow in low-light conditions, enhancing readability during night use or in dimly lit environments such as theaters, vehicles, or evening outdoor settings.
• 50M Water Resistance: Suitable for protection against sweat, accidental rain, and splashes. Ideal for daily wear, handwashing, or light outdoor exposure. Not recommended for swimming, diving, or hot water exposure, as submersion or high temperatures may compromise the seal.
• 40mm Case Diameter: Balanced size that fits comfortably on most wrist sizes while maintaining a bold, masculine presence. The compact yet substantial design ensures visibility without overwhelming smaller wrists.
