A Brief History

The Seagull 1963 or sometimes referred to as the Project d304 is an affordable and authentic Chinese aviation watch with vintage styling. The chronograph watch was made for the Chinese Airforce and the People’s liberation Army.

It has a polished stainless steel case of 40mm and a cream dial. All our Seagull 1963 chronograph watches use an original handwinding Seagull ST1901 movement.

The column wheel chronograph caliber ST19 is made by the Tianjin Watch Factory and is based on the Swiss Venus 175 movement from 1950! All the Seagull chronograph movements we use have 21 jewels and have a power-reserve of 42 hours.

2 reviews for Seagull 1963 | 40mm | Moonphase Cream Dial | Sapphire Glass

Verified owner Joan Carles Batalla – September 8, 2021

Rated 5 out of 5
I received this watch today. One day before expected. It’s in excellent condition. All the hands in its exact position.
It looks to me much better in real than in photos and fits my wrist perfectly. I checked the chrono accuracy during 30 minutes versus a quartz chrono. No visible mismatch.
Still can’t beleive such a wonderful watch (champagne sphere, mechanical, chrono, calendar, moonphase, …) for this affordable price. Looking at the back is a danger for the time you may spend while beeing hypnotized.
Totally satisfied with my purchase and treatment received from Seagull 1963.
