The Story of an Icon
The Sea-Gull 1963 Chronograph
Born under the clandestine “Project D304,” the Seagull 1963 was China‘s first dedicated aviation chronograph — a precision instrument born from necessity.
Meticulously hand-assembled with the pioneering ST19 movement, it marked the dawn of independent Chinese watchmaking.
Today, this pilot’s chronograph is a globally coveted icon, celebrated for its authentic vintage design, profound military heritage, and enduring collectible value. More than a watch, it is a chapter of history on your wrist.
The Engine of Legend
ST1901 In-House Movement
At the core of the 1963 Times Edition beats the legendary ST1901 — the direct heir to the Chinese Air Force's 1961 ST3 D304 chronograph.
More than a reissue, this 37.3mm timepiece is a wearable archive. It is where historic military engineering meets flawless modern execution on your wrist.
