Первым делом самолеты или что не так с лимитированным военным хронографом Seagull 1963 (D304)

Seagull, which released its 1963 model to the global market, is giving us this opportunity. The chronograph you see on the screen now is a reissue of the original model, created in the 1960s and whose primary purpose was to accompany Chinese Air Force fighter pilots during flights. And the most important thing about it is that it's not some kind of Chinese consumer product, so haters of Chinese watches, wipe your teeth! This is a reissue of Chinese military chronographs from 1963. Watch design options Models with Hardlex or Sapphire crystals are available. Sizes: 40 or 42 mm. There are different case backs - transparent and opaque Different packaging Packaging What's included Packaging Is there a charger? Watch case Case width - 37 mm Watch thickness - 14.7 mm Maximum watch width including crown - 39.6 mm Maximum watch height from lug to lug - 46.6 mm Watch case is made of 316L stainless steel Case color - silver, mirror polished Watch weight Weight - 58 grams (including NATO strap) Crystal Crystal shape - convex Made of plexiglass Hands Regular hands with imitation blueing Luminescent compound - none The seconds hand is where the main trick of chronographs lies: it's on the side, not in the center Positioned Stop seconds - absent, which is very unusual for a pilot's watch Seconds hand step - smooth, less than 1 second Dial Diameter - 34.3 mm Type - panda, slightly convex, flat No luminescent material Numbers Arabic - at the 12, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 o'clock positions Complications - chronograph Crown Size - 6.4 mm Logo - none, but depending on the store, it may be either a star or the Seagull company logo Crown position - at 3 o'clock How to use? There are chronograph pushers. The blue stickers are just for protection and can be removed. By the way, do you know why they're blue? This is a reference to the jewel in the crown of a Cartier watch. Case Back Transparent Inscriptions - Yes, but all in Chinese Fastener Type - Screw-down Material - Stainless Steel Water Resistance Water Resistance - Only 3 ATM / 3 bar / 30 meters Movement Power Reserve - On paper, it's 40 hours without using the chronograph and 35 hours with it. Personally, I managed to get it up to 35 hours. Accuracy - 12 seconds off (-12 seconds) The watch is powered by the Seagull ST1901 movement, which has 21 jewels. The movement itself is a modernized Swiss Venus 175. Shock-resistant device - yes Imitation blued bolts Mechanism finish - yes, but rather weak How to wind - only manual winding available Automatic winding - no Complications - show chronograph operation through the caseback Noise - audible Strap NATO nylon or leather strap Width - 17.9 mm Is it replaceable? - Yes, especially since it comes with a quick-release leather strap There's no logo on the buckle, which is surprising. After all, even inexpensive watches (up to 4,000 rubles) have laser engraving. For example, the Binssaw I reviewed earlier. Price The price of this model at the time of purchase was 13,447 rubles, or about 167 euros. If it had said "Swiss Made" at the bottom, the price tag could easily be multiplied by 40. Alternatives Reef Tiger Lobini Shturmanskie Okean (but unfortunately, the last two models are quite hard to find) I also have a Poljot watch in my collection Official website: https://nowadays.name #watchreview #seagull #1963 #d304 #chronograph #nowadays #mechanicalwatches #watches #wristwatches #review #pilotwatches #militarywatches #watch
