 Very interesting to know................most "Asian" watches, we don't have a clue, so it's nice to know that these are backed by a quality company the is a real manufacturer!  Thanks for the info, Marc! :)

Arbutus uses Asian movements, but I don't believe they are sourced from SeaGull, as many other brands are.

Really briefly, Arbutus is owned by a consortium that also is a licensed supplier to Lvmh (Louis Vuitton); the parent company of TAG, Zenith and others. So the same factory that pops these watches out, also makes cases, dials and straps/bands for mid-high end watches.

When I first brought the brand in, I was as "Wow" as Oscar is. To be seen to be believed.
