Sea-Gull’s 70th Anniversary Rattrapante, reference 418.33.1077, is listed on the brand’s current collection page at US$4,299. The roughly US$3,500 figure belongs to the watch’s early-2025 launch coverage, not its current listed price. Its split-seconds complication lets one chronograph seconds hand pause to mark an intermediate time while the other keeps running.
What is a rattrapante chronograph?
A rattrapante—also called a split-seconds chronograph—has two chronograph seconds hands that start together. Pressing its independent pusher stops one hand while the other continues, allowing the wearer to record an intermediate split or time a second event. Sea-Gull’s December 2025 announcement places that pusher at 10 o’clock on reference 418.33.1077.
How much does the Sea-Gull rattrapante cost?
Sea-Gull’s current collection listing shows reference 418.33.1077 at US$4,299. Monochrome Watches framed the newly introduced watch at approximately US$3,500 in its January 8, 2025 coverage; that is a historical launch-era figure, not the current listed price. The collection page also displayed a 12% offer with an end date of January 5, 2026, which has passed and should not be treated as a live discount.
The title’s “most accessible” wording reflects a qualified launch-era proposition. Monochrome described the watch as “very possibly” the most accessible of its kind, and Sea-Gull later used “most affordable” in its own copy. Neither establishes a current market-wide ranking: the available coverage does not provide a comprehensive survey of competing rattrapantes at current prices.

Which reference is it, and what are its specifications?
The current collection listing identifies the 70th Anniversary Rattrapante Split Second Chronograph Limited Edition as reference 418.33.1077 and shows blue and white variants. Sea-Gull’s December 16, 2025 announcement described a 500-piece blue-dial edition. The announcement gives these specifications for that reference:
- Case: Grade-5 titanium
- Diameter: 42.5 mm
- Thickness: 16 mm
- Weight: 70 g
- Independent split-seconds pusher: 10 o’clock
- Edition: 500 pieces, according to the December 2025 announcement
The 500-piece figure is specifically tied to the blue-dial edition in that announcement; the current collection page’s display of two colour variants does not, by itself, establish their separate production quantities.

What movement does it use?
Sea-Gull’s current collection page calls the movement ST1961, describes it as hand-wound and developed from ST1901 architecture, and says it uses a split-seconds module with a cam-actuated mechanism. The page gives an approximate 45-hour power reserve.
Sea-Gull’s December 2025 release calls the movement in reference 418.33.1077 the ST1961-2. Its June 2025 blog discusses a different Flight Series reference, 418.13.1077, and describes the ST1961 as a column-wheel, horizontal-clutch movement. A later release for the separate meteorite ST1961-2 model also describes column-wheel construction. Because Sea-Gull’s descriptions vary by page, date and reference, those architectural labels should not be combined into one definitive movement description for 418.33.1077.

In the December 2025 release, Sea-Gull head of Seagull Innovation Team Li Jiaqi said: “With the ST1961, we integrated a fully realized split-seconds mechanism—one of the most respected complications in watchmaking—making it as China’s first developed rattrapante chronograph.” This is the company’s claim; the “China’s first” wording is not independently verified by the cited coverage.
How to read the price and edition claims
Keep reference and date in view when comparing figures. Sea-Gull’s current listing is for 418.33.1077 at US$4,299; Monochrome’s approximate US$3,500 was launch-era context. Sea-Gull’s June 2025 blog instead covers Flight Series reference 418.13.1077, which it lists at US$3,649 and 500 pieces. Those details belong to a different reference and are not specifications or pricing for 418.33.1077.

Likewise, the meteorite-dial 418.43.1077 is a separate model: it is listed at US$5,299 and limited to 200 pieces. A campaign release expected deliveries to begin in July 2026, but that expectation does not confirm that deliveries occurred.

A fair comparison with other split-seconds watches needs more than a headline price. Check current retail price and availability against the exact reference, whether the watch is new or pre-owned, edition size, movement winding and architecture, case material and dimensions, water resistance, and warranty and service support. The available sources do not establish enough current competitor pricing to name a market-wide winner.
