This Seagull 1963 comes with 2 textile nato straps in green and black - also with screwed crystal back.

This is certainly always a question of personal taste, but my favorites with this dial are the brightbrown - cognac - leather straps RIOS1931 INZELL Bio and the Louisiana Crocodile Calf.

About 12  years ago I had a customer traveling from China visiting my office and I saw by chance on his wrist this watch - I was thrilled of this watch  right away,  therefore I import it now  directly from China and I am happy to offer these watches to my customers now! 

As our partners and now also friends in China have a very intense quality testing (ISO9001) for us and as we test these watches carefully here in Munich again, we have very good experience and feedback with these ST19 calibers!


Certainly you have also 2 years full warranty on this watch and also repairs or service are no problem as my experienced watchmakers have all original parts available. 

In 1961 the Tianjin Watch Factory in China had already become famous for the production of the first Chinese watch. Then the factory was commissioned to produce the first Chinese pilots chronograph for the Air Force of the People's Liberation Army. Until October 1962 the factory was producing three charges of the pilot's watch. In late 1962, then came together 38 experts from various fields (Chinese Minister of Industry, Flight Commander, Navy supervisor, etc.) to examine the watch. After the meeting, the Tianjin Watch Factory was officially charged with the production of the watch. In 1963 the factory then manufactured and supplied  1400 aviator watches to the Chinese Air Force.
