SEA-GULL Watch Introduces Meteorite Chronograph on Kickstarter

In an exciting development for watch enthusiasts, the SEA-GULL Watch Group has launched the world's first meteorite rattrapante chronograph, making its debut exclusively on Kickstarter. This limited edition timepiece is not only a marvel of engineering but also a celebration of nature's artistry, featuring a dial crafted from the rare Muonionalusta meteorite, a material that has traveled through space for millions of years.

A Unique Timepiece with Historic Significance

The limited edition collection consists of only 200 pieces worldwide, marking a significant milestone for the renowned Chinese watchmaker. The Muonionalusta meteorite, from which the dials are made, is known for its breathtaking patterns unique to each piece, providing wearers with a one-of-a-kind watch that tells a story of cosmic origin.

Launching this innovative product on Kickstarter allows SEA-GULL to directly engage with collectors and supporters of fine craftsmanship. Backers can secure their piece at a starting price of $4,500 for a single watch or $4,250 each when purchasing two units. This represents a considerable saving compared to the retail price of $5,200.

Mechanical Mastery in the ST1961-2 Movement

At the heart of this timepiece lies the ST1961-2 movement, a manually wound chronograph renowned for its complexity. This movement is a significant upgrade from previous models, featuring a column wheel and an independent pusher positioned at the 10 o'clock mark to facilitate precise time measurements, including intermediate times. Enthusiasts will appreciate the enhanced finishing details, such as blued screws and improved mechanical performance, all of which are visible through a sapphire crystal case back.

A Design Inspired by Aviation

The chronograph's case, made from Grade 5 titanium, is both lightweight and durable, measuring 42.5 mm in diameter. This design draws inspiration from SEA-GULL's iconic 1963 aviation chronograph, showcasing the brand's rich heritage in watchmaking and aviation instrumentation.

Collector's Edition and Future Releases

In addition to the meteorite chronograph, SEA-GULL is offering a collector's box set that includes this model alongside the latest edition of the Seagull 1963, also featuring a meteorite dial. Together, these watches highlight the evolution of SEA-GULL's aviation chronographs, from the iconic military model of 1963 to their newest and most sophisticated rattrapante chronograph yet.

With deliveries expected to begin in July 2026, backers on Kickstarter will receive updates based on their contribution date, ensuring that those who support this breathtaking innovation will be among the first to wear a piece of cosmic history.
