60th Anniversary Seagull 1963 in Bronze
Supposedly one of 750 pieces, this 1963 Bronze Seagull celebrates the 60th anniversary of the watch which was designed for the Chinese Airforce at the time. It comes with an upgraded swan neck regulator on the ST1901 movement which is rumored to be a Swiss-tool made clone of the original Venus 175 movement used by Breitling and others.
This watch is a sapphire sandwich with a display case back showing off the awesome movement.
First thing I’ll do is probably change the strap, but overall I’m impressed! A brand new bronze mechanical chronograph with sapphire, built like a swiss watch for $400. Hard to beat.

None whatsoever! Seagull1963.com is where I ordered it. I got it about a week later. Watch has been perfect so far.

It was a limited run, so maybe they’re running out or trying to keep up with production

Thank you,
I ordered mine from the same site.
It seems they’ve had technical problems that’s why they hadn’t responded to my messages.
Thankfully they have now, and they are running behind on the orders so hopefully I’ll receive mine soon…..I can stop worrying and get excited about it again now 😂
