Sofia would steal this one
By Rafael Ortiz, Mexico City ยท
Red and green, like a slice of watermelon. A little silly, on purpose. My daughter would grab it off the nightstand the second she saw it. And I'd let her.
Underneath the fun is a real hand-wound chronograph, the Seagull ST1901, with 50 hours of reserve, visible through the open caseback. 38.5 mm by 12.9 mm, leather strap, 50 meters. It's well made.
The pushers on the ST1901 are a bit vague, and the movement isn't as refined as a Swiss one. But at 780 to 840 dollars, it's a joyful, cheap way into hand-wound chronographs. Not for work. For smiles.
