In recent days, the split-seconds chronograph launched by Seagull has attracted a lot of attention. It is said to be extremely cost-effective among domestic watches. The price of 23,800 yuan is in sharp contrast to the sky-high price of Swiss watches worth several million. How powerful is this watch? Why does it cause such a big response in the watch industry? Next, I will take you to have an in-depth understanding of this “god comes” timepiece and see the innovation and advantages behind it!
The innovation and advantages of the Seagull split-seconds chronograph
In the domestic watch industry, the split-seconds chronograph launched by Seagull can be described as “the god has come”.
Seagull split-seconds chronograph, genuine price 23,800 yuan.
This price is indeed not cheap among domestic watches.
But in a split-seconds chronograph, the price/performance ratio is really high.
After all, the Swiss Patek Philippe 5370 split-seconds chronograph has a public price of 2,176,000 yuan.
The Swiss Lange 1815 split-seconds chronograph has a public price of 1,123,000 yuan.
The Seagull split-seconds chronograph only costs 23,800 yuan.
Comparison between Seagull split-seconds chronograph and Swiss luxury watches
Although there are low-priced split-seconds chronographs in Switzerland, they cannot be compared with Seagull’s split-seconds chronographs in terms of function or structure.
Seagull’s split-seconds chronograph is more attractive in terms of price and functionality than Swiss watches.
Movement design and performance
The Seagull split-seconds chronograph is equipped with the Seagull ST1961 movement.
The movement has a swing frequency of 21,600 times per hour and a power reserve of 45 hours.
The appearance design and decoration of the movement have reached the level of Swiss high-end watches.
It can even be said that the appearance design and decoration of the Seagull ST1961 movement are not inferior to those of Patek Philippe and Lange.
The complexity of a split-seconds chronograph movement
In the split-seconds chronograph movement, the cylindrical wheel is responsible for controlling the start, stop and reset of the chronograph function.
The cam is responsible for controlling the rattrapante part. The specific control method is as follows:
When manually wound, the cylindrical wheel drives the gear to rotate, and the rotation of the gear will push the timing pointer to rotate.
At this time, the cam is in an ascending state, and the rattrapante pointer coincides with the chronograph pointer.
When the timer is over, press the button to reset. At this time, the cylindrical wheel rotates to drive the reset gear to rotate.
The rotation of the reset gear will push the rattrapante hand back to its starting position, while the chronograph hand can still continue to rotate.
When the button is pressed to start the chronograph, the rattrapante hand will coincide with the chronograph hand.
Market response and collection value
The Seagull Split Seconds Chronograph has a global limited edition of only 500 pieces, so the watch was snapped up as soon as it was launched.
In the eyes of experienced players, this watch is extremely cost-effective among similar products and is very suitable to start playing.
After all, among the 2 million Swiss watches, a watch with a split-seconds chronograph function priced at more than 20,000 is not an exaggeration to call it “invincible”.
It can be said that “when gods fight, mortals will be blessed.”
This watch is worth so much more than that.
Movement evolution and complexity
The Seagull ST1961 split-seconds chronograph movement is developed based on the Seagull ST19 movement.
The movement was originally a single-button chronograph movement, and was later improved to include a complex chronograph section and a split-seconds module.
And the thickness of the movement was also thinned, finally forming what it looks like today.
Very similar to Patek Philippe 5370 and Lange 1815.
But the price is only more than 20,000 yuan.
Conclusion
In short, the Seagull split-seconds chronograph not only has an unparalleled advantage in price, but its movement design and functions are also amazing. For those who like watches, this is definitely a good choice worth buying. What do you think? Do you think this Seagull watch can really compete with Swiss famous watches?
