A Kickstarter First: SEA-GULL Debuts Meteorite Rattrapante Chronograph Limited Edition

June 2, 2026

SEA-GULL has launched its Meteorite Rattrapante Chronograph Limited Edition, available exclusively on Kickstarter. The collection, limited to 200 pieces worldwide, features a genuine Muonionalusta meteorite dial combined with the upgraded in-house ST1961-2 split-seconds caliber. This marks the first time the company has offered a meteorite dial paired with a mechanical split-seconds complication directly to global collectors through a crowdfunding platform.

The Kickstarter campaign offers early-bird pricing starting at HK$35,649 (US$4,549) per watch, or HK$33,669 (US$4,250) per watch in the two-piece tier. The retail price is set at US$5,200.

Each watch dial is precision-cut from the Muonionalusta meteorite, which struck Earth millions of years ago. As a result of its long cooling process in the vacuum of space, the material displays distinct Widmanstätten patterns, making each dial unique. This ensures that no two watches in the limited run share the same face.

The ST1961-2 calibre is a manual-winding rattrapante chronograph that offers visible character through a sapphire crystal display caseback. It is based on the ST19 chronograph architecture and is the first split-seconds chronograph movement developed by SEA-GULL. Unlike its predecessor, the new movement includes enhancements such as updated finishing and flamed-blued steel screws.

The 42.5mm case is made from grade-5 titanium, selected for its strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and hypoallergenic properties. The design pays homage to the Seagull 1963 chronograph, linking the limited edition to the brand's aviation heritage.

Deliveries of the Meteorite Rattrapante Chronograph are expected to begin in July 2026, with backers notified in order of their pledge. SEA-GULL Watch Group, founded in 1955, is recognized as one of China’s oldest mechanical watch manufacturers, known for its expertise in horological technologies including tourbillon and perpetual calendar mechanisms.
