Curator's Note — Sea-Gull 1955 Chronometer

This is the watch that started it all in 1955, and it remains one of the most honest mechanical instruments you can own. The ST17 automatic movement is the backbone of Chinese watchmaking — a caliber found in movements that power tools across the industry. Stainless steel case, leather strap, sapphire crystal, and 50m capability. No pretense, no unnecessary complications. Just pure mechanical function dressed for business.
