Seagull Retro TV Mechanical Wristwatch Review

The Seagull Retro TV Mechanical Wristwatch takes inspiration from the classic appearance of vintage televisions, with a square case featuring a circular dial, reminiscent of the old TV screens, evoking a strong retro vibe. The retro TV wristwatch is available in three color schemes. In addition to the white and blue dial options shown in the image, there is also a black dial version for customers to choose from.

This timepiece adopts the popular integrated case and bracelet design that has gained popularity in recent years, instantly adding an aura of elegance without appearing too flashy or too serious. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the square-shaped case visually enlarges the diameter of the watch, yet its actual size is only 34mm, making it versatile and suitable for both men and women.

The side of the case is polished extensively, providing a smooth and glossy finish, while the front features a brushed finish, giving it a sleek and sharp appearance. The contrast between the sides and the front of the case adds depth and dimension to the watch. The crown is surrounded by anti-slip grooves for easy adjustment and bears the Seagull English initial "S" logo on the top, enhancing the brand recognition of the timepiece.

The ice-blue dial is treated with extensive brushing, with a sunray pattern decoration that exhibits different angles of gloss under various lighting conditions, exuding a cool and exquisite charm, hinting at timeless elegance.

The silver cylindrical hour markers and hands are simple and elegant, with distinct layers that complement the stainless steel case, providing a visually appealing yet straightforward aesthetic.

At the 3 o'clock position on the dial, there is a date and day display window featuring a unique Chinese double calendar, allowing wearers to quickly grasp important moments of each day, further enhancing the practicality of the watch.

The retro TV wristwatch features a transparent case back, revealing the Seagull ST2100 automatic movement, which has undergone various craftsmanship processes. Although not exceptionally exquisite, it is enough to distinguish it from other watches in the same class. The ST2100 movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of 42 hours and a water resistance depth of 50 meters, suitable for everyday use.

The watch is paired with a stainless steel bracelet featuring a butterfly clasp, which can be easily adapted to both casual and formal attire. Like the case, the bracelet is finished with both brushed and polished techniques, with the Seagull brand logo engraved on the top of the clasp, showcasing the brand's attention to detail and style.

Image

In summary, this retro TV wristwatch features an integrated case and bracelet design, coupled with a meticulously crafted automatic movement, distinguishing it from other watches in its class, offering good value for money. In terms of design, Seagull combines classic vintage items with futuristic mechanical timekeeping, allowing every wearer to journey through time and reminisce about their youthful days.

That's awesome! We love seeing the appreciation for classic TV-style watches. The Mido Multifort is a great choice, and the Seagull homage captures that retro aesthetic beautifully.

They're pretty spot on TBH. Normally hate day/dates, but being in Chinese is actually pretty cool in a weird way. 👍🏻👍🏻

Yeah I’ve seen the same dial on the sagull one on AliExpress but I couldn’t figure out which one came first actually
