I broke out the old cardboard light box and shot a few pics of my new Seagull reissue of the 1963 Chinese Air Force chronograph, featuring a Chinese update to the Valjoux 22 manual chrono movement.  I've outfitted it with an aviator strap from Time Factors.

Great pics...and most impressive because of the finish work on a movement they they knew would be hidden from view!

Seagull has plans to bring a version with display back. I've seen 1 (one) lone preproduction sample. Cool idea, yes, but IMHO takes some of the authentic feeling off the watch.

Also, I really have no idea what time production will begin...
