About this deal

I don’t have any problem with the power reserve. About the movement, sometimes I used the timer, and it worked fine. After several prototypes, the final version was unveiled in 1963, becoming the official watch of the Chinese Air Force. Despite the monumental effort it took to develop ‘the 1964,’ only 1400 watches were manufactured. Seagull 1963

I don’t judge American cuisine based on the cheapest item on McDonald’s menu. And I don’t judge Chinese watches based on the bottom rung of the ladder. We cannot guarantee delivery times during busy periods as much of it comes down to factors outside of our control. However, in normal circumstances, we have the following delivery times: Since 1997, Seagull has become a major player in the global watch industry. Incredibly, today, Seagull manufactures a quarter of the world’s mechanical watch movements. Project 304As the Chinese watch factory grew, they began making watches and movements under the English name, ‘Seagull.’ As well as the reliable automatic movement, there is a sapphire crystal and a substantial stainless steel bracelet. Warranty: Our professional and experienced watchmakers use their expertise to assemble, adjust and test every watch. Please enjoy 12 months of warranty. Seagull has faithfully remade this 1960s piece - albeit with a larger 40mm case. They’ve taken an iconic aviation watch and recreated it down to the smallest details. It works for me. And it’s very affordable. Particularly if you factor in the in-house mechanical movement. You’d pay significantly more for a German equivalent.

Over the years, they’ve released multiple takes on the Seagull 1963. There are many different remakes, each emphasizing different design elements. Special features have included: 19 and 21 jewels, different dial colors, acrylic crystal and sapphire, and a range of dial sizes. The colour palette, the bold numerals and the 24mm canvas strap. They all look practical for a military or field watch. Like the 1963 chronograph, this piece feels authentic. As I mentioned, the original project 304 featured the Seagull ST3 in it. However it has since been updated to the ST19. As the name and text “19 ZUAN” on the dial indicates, it has 19 jewels. It’s well-made but still feels like an old piece. If you like vintage but don’t want to buy a used watch with unknown origins, you can’t go wrong with the Seagull 1963. It’s also a watch for history lovers and watch collectors alike. All things considered, I was satisfied with this watch.In my opinion, these reissue watches are all “copies” of the original, so I wouldn’t worry about this. Just enjoy this bit of Chinese watchmaking history on your wrist. Initial Thoughts In the 1960’s Venus needed more space for the caliber 188 chronograph movement. They put the rights, plans, and machinery necessary to manufacturer their older model, the caliber 175, up for sale. You wouldn’t think that gold, red, blue, and brown colors would look good next to each other, but somehow, the Seagull 1963 makes it work. In the golden age of Swiss watchmaking, there were three major movement manufacturers in Switzerland– Venus, Valjoux, and Lemania.
