Key Features

• Seagull ST1901 Manual Winding Movement: This hand-wound mechanical caliber features a column-wheel architecture and horizontal clutch system, delivering authentic chronograph performance. With 21 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve, it ensures reliable operation and reduced friction for long-term accuracy. The movement is engineered for precision, with daily accuracy maintained within -20 to +40 seconds—comparable to traditional mechanical standards. Its design honors the original 1963 aviation chronograph, modernized for consistent performance.
• Sapphire Crystal Glass: The watch face is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with 8-Mohs hardness, matching the durability of luxury Swiss timepieces. Its high-light transmittance ensures exceptional clarity, even in bright conditions. This material resists everyday scratches from keys, screens, and other common surfaces, preserving the watch’s pristine appearance over time.
• 316L Stainless Steel Case: Crafted from medical-grade stainless steel, the case offers superior corrosion resistance and a warm, elegant luster. It resists daily wear and maintains its polished finish over time. The 40mm diameter provides a balanced presence on the wrist—substantial enough to feel premium, yet comfortable for extended wear across various wrist sizes.
• Top-Grain Calfskin Leather Strap: The brown leather band is made from natural, textured calfskin that molds comfortably to your wrist. Breathable and flexible, it stays cool and dry during extended wear. Over time, the leather develops a unique patina, enhancing its vintage appeal and personal character.
• Quick-Release 20mm Band System: Easily swap straps without tools. A complimentary TOPHILL Milanese loop band is included with purchase, allowing you to switch between classic leather and modern metal styles. Note: the watch and band ship separately.
• Luminous Dial Markers: The vintage green face features luminous accents for improved visibility in low-light conditions, combining functionality with retro-inspired aesthetics. The glow is subtle yet effective, ensuring legibility during nighttime or dimly lit environments.
