Seagull 1963 Chronograph Times Edition 40mmvsSwatch MoonSwatch 1965

Owners widely praise the Seagull 1963 Chronograph Watch Times Edition 40mm for its well-finished polished case and beautifully operating signed crown. The 40mm size is reported to wear well, even for those who typically avoid watches over that diameter, and one owner appreciates the visibility of the ST1901 movement through the display case back. Some owners report inconsistent quality control with the ST1901 movement, with one needing repairs within six months due to loose screws. The 40mm moonphase version is noted as having a well-proportioned thickness of 12.7mm. Overall, owners consider the Seagull 1963 Chronograph Watch Times Edition 40mm an iconic and unique starter chronograph, with its value and historical significance being key draws.

Owners widely praise the Swatch MoonSwatch 1965's white dial for its resemblance to the Omega Speedmaster and its subtle nods to the 1965 Speedmaster and NASA qualification, with reviewers calling it a serious-looking and tempting option. Some owners find the optional Swatch strap an improvement over the OEM, and the watch features UV-reactive numerals. However, the outer ring's texture is considered poor, and the case appears "plasticky" to some. The strap is described as rigid and uncomfortable by one owner, though it references the original Apollo strap design. The price is considered outrageous by one owner for the offering. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Swatch MoonSwatch 1965 well for its Speedmaster-inspired aesthetics and unique features at its price point.
