I bought this watch in May 2022. It’s a great affordable classic but unfortunately it’s just not getting much wrist time in my larger collection. It’s got the sapphire crystal upgrade as well as the beautiful handwinding ST 1901 movement with blue Swan Neck Regulator (visible through sapphire exhibition case back). After a lot of research on these classic Chinese chronographs, I chose to buy this version through seagull1963.com based in Belgium. I have only worn this a couple of times and it’s in excellent condition. Might be a couple of micro marks, difficult to see with naked eye. Complete set with box and papers and hang tag. 38mm case, 18mm lugs, 12.7mm height.

From the website:

“This the upgraded version of the Seagull 1963 is a reissued version of the Chinese Air force Mechanical Chronograph, a unique and classic masterpiece now searched for by collectors nearly as much as the original.
This watch has the upgraded movement with Blue Swan neck regulator. It is both available with a retro acrylic glass or sapphire glass on front and an exhibition case back. Comes standard with a green fabric nato strap.

The movement is an upgraded Seagull st19 movement with Swan Neck Regulator for better regulation. The movement is a Seagull ST19 mechanical (hand winding) chronograph with 21,600 bph. The power reserve is about 42 hours on a full wind without the chronograph running. The swan neck regulator can be used to more accurately regulate the movement.”

“The box contains a lot of purposeful items. Most important of all, the outer packaging sleeve was designed to protect your Seagull 1963 watch in the best possible way. Inside the cardboard sleeve, you’ll find a vintage tin box with foam lining so the ST1901 chronograph movement is protected against shocks. Inside the tin box we can find the Seagull 1963 chronograph watch with its distinctive nato strap and our special tag, a warranty card with a manual on how to use your ST1901 chronograph functions and how to wind the ST19 movement. You’ll also find a card with a unique QR code to verify the authenticity of your watch (coming soon!).”
