Seagull 1963 bronze watches

The watches filed under Seagull 1963 come from seagull1963.com, which calls itself an independent retailer on its product pages and an independent boutique workshop on its About page. It has been in business since 2019, is owned by Hobby Hour Limited, a company registered in Hong Kong, and ships from a warehouse in China. The store says plainly that it is not affiliated with, authorised by or a partner of the Tianjin Seagull Watch Group: its watches are produced to its own specifications around genuine Seagull ST19 hand-wound chronograph movements sourced from that group, rechecked by its own watchmakers before dispatch, and several models are registered EU designs. They reinterpret the chronograph the Tianjin Watch Factory developed for the Chinese Air Force under project code 304, whose prototypes, Li Wei writes for East Watch Review, were finished in 1963. The Bronze Lume editions pair a bronze case with a stainless steel back, and the store specifies the Icon II Green's case as CuSn8 bronze.
