⏱️ Built to Measure Time—Precisely
The Seagull 1963 isn’t just beautiful—it’s functional. Powered by the hand-wound ST1901 movement, it includes a fully mechanical chronograph feature that lets you time events with vintage precision.
Here’s how to use the chronograph the right way—without damaging the movement.
▶️ Step 1: Start the Chronograph
To begin timing, press the top pusher (P1).
This starts the red chronograph seconds hand, which begins sweeping smoothly around the dial.
🔍 Inside the case, the mechanical gears engage with every press—a rare treat for watch lovers.
⏳ Step 2: Track the Minutes
As the red hand completes one full revolution (60 seconds), the right subdial (minute counter) will tick forward.
✅ This subdial counts up to 30 minutes of elapsed time, perfect for timing short events or tracking intervals.
⏹️ Step 3: Stop the Chronograph
To stop timing, press the top pusher (P1) again.
The red hand and the minute counter freeze, showing your recorded time.
🔁 Step 4: Reset (But Only After Stopping)
Once stopped, press the bottom pusher (P2).
This resets the red chronograph seconds hand and the right subdial back to zero.
⚠️ Never press reset while the chronograph is running. Doing so can damage the mechanism.
⚠️ One More Tip: Power Reserve Drops Faster
While running the chronograph, your Seagull 1963 will use up its power reserve more quickly.
If you're not actively timing something, it's best to stop the chronograph to conserve energy.
⌚ Own the Experience
The chronograph isn't just functional—it’s a window into mechanical watchmaking.
Each click, sweep, and reset tells a story of craftsmanship that quartz watches just can't match.
