Seagull Rattrapante - Blue（Ref: 418.33.1077)
First Release Globally at Seagull Official Store: Seagull Rattrapante
The new Seagull Rattrapante Blue edition follows the debut of the first Seagull Rattrapante (White) in late 2024—the pioneering watch that established SEA-GULL as the creator of China's first fully in-house split-seconds chronograph. Revealed earlier at the 2025 Chinese Watchmaking 70th Anniversary Panel Discussion and Watch Preview in Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, the Seagull Blue Rattrapante now joins the collection as an elevated expression of craft and innovation.
Today, it is officially available worldwide at the SEA-GULL Global Official Store.
A Milestone in Split-Seconds Chronograph Engineering
The rattrapante, or split-seconds chronograph, is regarded as one of the most demanding complications in mechanical watchmaking. It requires the harmonious operation of two superimposed seconds hands, a dedicated clamp mechanism, and impeccable gear coordination to capture intermediate times with faultless precision.
For its 70th anniversary, SEA-GULL brings this storied complication into a new chapter, refining both performance and design while affirming its position as one of the most capable mechanical manufactures worldwide.
Seagull ST1961 — A Movement Reserved for Seagull Timepieces
At the heart of the Seagull Blue Rattrapante is the ST1961, SEA-GULL's first independently developed rattrapante chronograph caliber. With 27 jewels, a 21,600 vph frequency, manual-winding architecture, and a dual-column-wheel system, the movement reflects a level of engineering reserved for high-end mechanical watchmaking.
Most importantly:
The ST1961 is produced exclusively for SEA-GULL chronograph and is not supplied to external brands.
This exclusivity ensures that the Seagull Rattrapante stands apart—not only in its technical execution, but also in its identity as a distinctly SEA-GULL creation.
The Aesthetic Signature of the Seagull Blue Rattrapante
The new Seagull Blue edition introduces a deep blue SDL-finished dial, enriched through multiple layers of engraving and lacquer. The grade-5 titanium alloy case provides exceptional lightness and durability, while well-polished subdial rings and Seagull 1963 heritage-inspired indices reflect SEA-GULL's archival design codes.
Design Highlights
- Astronautical level titanium alloy case, engineered for strength and comfort
- Structured dial layering in Seagull Blue Rattrapante, refined and visually dynamic
- Split-seconds pusher at 10 o'clock, sculpted for precision actuation
- Exhibition case back with synthetic sapphire crystal, eyeing the beauty of ST1961
- Alligator leather strap, completing the refined profile
Every detail has been constructed with purpose—balancing mechanical depth with understated elegance.
