Sugess 1963 Pilot Watch Mens Chrono Leather Mechanical Original Seagull ST1901
A striking Sugess mechanical chronograph, inspired by the famous Chinese 1963 aviation chronograph and powered by the Seagull ST1901 hand-wound mechanical movement.
The watch features a beautifully balanced cream/silver-tone dial with contrasting black chronograph subdials, applied hour markers and distinctive red and gold-tone hands. A black tachymeter scale surrounds the dial, reinforcing its classic motorsport and aviation chronograph appearance.
At its heart is the Seagull ST1901, a traditional manually wound column-wheel chronograph movement derived from the historic Venus 175 architecture. Unlike a quartz chronograph, the timing functions are operated entirely mechanically.
