{"product_id":"seagull-1963-air-force-cream-38mm","title":"SEAGULL 1963 | Air Force Cream 38mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Seagull 1963 in its 38mm case, cream dial, with the glass left to you: domed acrylic or boxed sapphire. The case is polished 316L steel, 47mm from lug to lug and 12.70mm deep. Gold-tone Arabic numerals with wedges between them, blued hands, a red chronograph seconds hand. Running seconds at 9, a 30-minute counter at 3. Under the red star it says 21 ZUAN, the jewel count, though the factory's render of the acrylic version reads 19 ZUAN.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an original Seagull, finished by Tianjin Sea-Gull and resold here exactly so. The case is never opened. Within it, the hand-wound ST1901, an ST19 descended from the Swiss Venus 175 column-wheel chronograph. It beats at 21,600 bph and runs about 42 hours on a full wind. The caseback is glass, so you can watch it. The name comes from the chronograph Tianjin made for the Chinese air force in 1962 and 1963. This cream dial is the plain re-edition, not a limited run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-wound means it only runs if you wind it. Once a day from the crown is enough. One pusher runs the timing hand and stops it, the other drops it back to zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree versions are sold here: acrylic with the blue swan neck regulator, sapphire without it, or sapphire with it. Each comes on an olive green nylon NATO with a polished steel pin buckle, boxed in a foam-lined tin. Delivery is 2 to 4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug to lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.70mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e polished 316L stainless steel, exhibition caseback\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e domed acrylic or boxed sapphire, chosen at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seagull ST1901 hand-wound column-wheel chronograph (ST19 family), 21,600 bph\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegulator:\u003c\/strong\u003e swan neck regulator on the swan neck variant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower reserve:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChronograph:\u003c\/strong\u003e running seconds at 9, 30-minute counter at 3, central red seconds hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e cream, gold-tone Arabic numerals and wedge markers, blued hour and minute hands, two white subdials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 ATM, fine for rain and hand-washing, not for swimming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e olive green nylon NATO, polished steel pin buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e outer sleeve, foam-lined tin box, tag, warranty card, manual, QR authenticity card\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 4 weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a mod like the rest of your watches?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The other watches here are our own builds on Seiko movements. This one is a complete watch from Tianjin Sea-Gull. We sell it as it arrives and never open the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I really have to wind it every day?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, or close to it. A full wind gives about 42 hours, so winding it while you put it on in the morning is enough. Turn the crown until you feel it stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcrylic or sapphire, which glass should I pick?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcrylic is domed and softer. It picks up fine scratches over the years and they polish out. Sapphire is boxed, a raised shape with curved sides, and stays clear in normal wear. If you will wear it every day, take sapphire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the swan neck option change?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly the regulator. The swan neck version has a curved blue spring on the balance cock that lets a watchmaker set the rate in finer steps. You can see it through the caseback. The rest of the movement is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seagull","offers":[{"title":"Acrylic \/ Swan neck","offer_id":52837566709892,"sku":"SG63-38-AF-ACR-SN","price":27000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sapphire \/ No swan neck","offer_id":52837566742660,"sku":"SG63-38-AF-SAP-STD","price":28000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sapphire \/ Swan neck","offer_id":52837566775428,"sku":"SG63-38-AF-SAP-SN","price":31000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/5034\/7908\/files\/38mm_Acrylic.png?v=1789678331","url":"https:\/\/timelabsco.in\/products\/seagull-1963-air-force-cream-38mm","provider":"Timelabs Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
