A Revolutionary Milestone: SEA-GULL Launches Meteorite Rattrapante Chronograph on Kickstarter

SEA-GULL Launches Exclusive Meteorite Rattrapante Chronograph

In a groundbreaking move, SEA-GULL has officially introduced the Meteorite Rattrapante Chronograph Limited Edition on Kickstarter. This exquisite timepiece is not only a technical marvel but also a collector's dream—limited to just 200 pieces worldwide. The campaign marks SEA-GULL's first foray into the crowdfunding space, and it promises to revolutionize the market for high-end mechanical watches.

Unique Craftsmanship with Meteorite Dial

What sets the Meteorite Rattrapante apart is its dazzling dial made from genuine Muonionalusta meteorite, a celestial relic that fell to Earth millions of years ago. Each dial is carefully cut to showcase its unique Widmanstätten patterns, ensuring that no two watches are identical. The distinct character of the meteorite, formed over eons in the cosmic vacuum, adds a dramatic flair to an already impressive timepiece.

The Complex In-House Caliber ST1961-2

At the heart of the Meteorite Rattrapante lies the upgraded ST1961-2 split-seconds caliber. Renowned as one of the most complex chronograph complications in watchmaking, the rattrapante mechanism allows the wearer to measure split times or track two concurrent events with its dual chronograph seconds hands. Featuring a column-wheel construction and a dedicated pusher at 10 o'clock, this movement allows for unparalleled accuracy and control. The visible mechanism can be appreciated through a sapphire crystal display caseback, adding to the watch's allure.

A Nod to Aviation Heritage

The design of the 42.5mm case pays homage to SEA-GULL's rich military legacy, crafted from grade-5 titanium that offers exceptional strength while being lightweight and hypoallergenic. This material not only enhances durability but also is a tribute to the brand’s iconic Seagull 1963 chronograph, a staple among pilots and military professionals.

Special Collector Package

For enthusiasts eager to own a piece of horological history, SEA-GULL is also offering a collector package that includes the Meteorite Rattrapante Chronograph alongside the newly released Seagull 1963 Meteorite Dial Edition. This duo illustrates the evolution of SEA-GULL's aviation chronographs, encapsulating both tradition and innovation.
