The Chinese brand pushes boundaries with the most accessible rattrapante movement
Sea-Gull was founded in 1955 and stands as one of China's most storied watchmaking institutions, with a rich heritage anchored by its creation of the "Five Star," China's very first wristwatch. This monumental achievement not only marked the beginning of China's journey into mechanical watchmaking but also closed a significant chapter in the nation's history, where watchmaking was previously confined to repair rather than creation. Modern names like Studio Underd0g and Baltic have embraced Sea-Gull's movements for their impressive price-to-quality ratio.
In a bold step forward, Sea-Gull has introduced one of its most impressive innovations yet: the Seagull Rattrapante Split-Second Chronograph Limited. This timepiece features the rattrapante complication, a function usually found in the highest echelons of luxury watchmaking. The rattrapante, or split-seconds chronograph, lets you measure and record two events simultaneously, even if they last for different amounts of time. When activated, both chronograph seconds hands start moving together, only to split at the push of a button, allowing you to track multiple events with precision.
The watch comes in a titanium case with both polished and brushed finishes. It measures 42.5mm in diameter and 16mm in thickness. The dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, while the transparent case back reveals the inner workings of the movement. The chronograph is operated via three pushers: two on the right side, integrated with the crown, and one positioned at 10 o'clock.
The white dial features a bicompax layout, with a 30-minute chronograph at 3 o'clock and a small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock. The dial also displays a tachymeter scale, and applied Arabic numerals mark the hours. All the hands are blued, except for the two seconds hands, which stand out in a silver finish.
Powered by the newly developed caliber ST1961, a hand-wound movement that operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz) and offers a 45-hour power reserve, Sea-Gull has delivered what is arguably the most reliable manual-winding rattrapante movement at a fraction of the traditional cost. This innovation is likely to inspire other brands to adopt the movement in the future. The watch is paired with a black alligator leather strap and a titanium pin buckle, and is limited to just 500 pieces. Priced at $3,649, equivalent to AED 13,400.
