This is my most favorite Sea-gull watch, I have always been wanting a casual watch with multi functions because such type of watch is very popular among office workers, so I also want one. I bought so many Chinese watches before, I like them, not only due to their low cost, but some of them also have classic designs and acceptable quality, especially the Sea-gull, this is my seventh watch I bought from Sea-gull, the watch has functions of hours, minutes, seconds, date, power reserve and moon phase display, if one of any Swiss watches has so many functions, you know, its price must be thousands of dollars, but this Sea-gull only costed me less than 360 US Dollars, very reasonable.
I received the package four days ago, inside the Sea-gull box, there come with the watch, fountain pen, screw driver, sticky planets tape and a cosmonaut doll. These accessories are galaxy exploration themed, I am not sure if there is any relation between galaxy exploration and this watch. This Sea-gull looks similar to one Breguet Classique watch I have seen before, I do not know exact model, but Breguet must have a much higher price, this Sea-gull has beautiful finish with a very reasonable price.
The dial design is outstanding, all functions shown through the dial are real. First, the fan-shaped indicator positioned between 10 o’clock and 11 o’clock shows the remaining the power reserve of the watch, it is a true power reserve indicator, which tells you that the watch has a 42-hour power reserve capacity. The moon phase indicator with blue background is set at 2 o’clock, the small hand on the subdial at 6 o’clock is pointing at current date. All hands on the dial are blued steel, which look classy. The classy dial is a good addition to the first-class case finish, both accomplish this elegant watch together.
Here is an instruction on how to operate the crown. Pull out the crown to the first click position, rotate it clockwise to wind the watch. Pull out the crown to the second click position, the second hand will stop, then you can adjust the time. The button on the case at 2 o’clock can be pushed down to adjust moon phase, while the button at 4 o’clock is used to adjust date.
The watch is equipped with a ST2153 automatic movement, which features 32 jewels and 28,800VPH, to test its power reserve, I gave the watch a full winding and then put it on the desk, the watch worked continuously for 28 hours. The watch is fitted with black leather strap, which features dense texture, I do not like this band, I will buy another alligator leather strap to replace it. By the way, besides this stainless steel model, there is also a golden version of this Sea-gull watch.
