The 40mm 316L stainless steel case curves over your wrist, featuring high-polished surfaces and elegantly tapered lugs that faithfully honour the mid-century silhouette. An exceptionally compact lug-to-lug length of 45.5mm ensures a remarkably snug fit, while a case thickness of 14.5mm accommodates its complex mechanical layering, delivering a commanding, robust wrist presence. Down the right side, traditional pump chronograph pushers flank a signed crown in the centre. The characteristic fixed stainless steel bezel is highly polished, framing a double-domed box sapphire crystal that delivers charming, vintage-style edge distortions while providing modern scratch resistance. The boxed sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on the inside, is set above a rich, matte cream dial that mirrors the patinated tone of the original 1960s military prototypes. A clean outer minute track is precisely marked, complemented by applied gold-toned Arabic numerals and sharp triangular hour indexes. Balancing complexity with legibility, the dial layout features four perfectly balanced focal points. At 3 o’clock, a recessed 30-minute chronograph register tracks elapsed time with a dark blue hand; at 9 o’clock, a matching small seconds register handles the running time. A true mechanical moonphase indicator sits elegantly above 6 o'clock, showcasing a moon and stars sweeping across a deep blue sky. The central hour and minute hands are finished in a stark, contrasting blue, enlivened by a vibrant red tapered central chronograph hand. At noon, the iconic red-bordered gold aviation star sits proudly below the date ring. On the reverse, a screw-down exhibition case back reveals a mesmerising mechanical landscape. Inside beats the Manually Wound Seagull Cal. ST1908, a sophisticated column-wheel calibre directly descended from the historic mid-century Swiss Venus movements. Beautifully visible through the sapphire window, this 22-jewel calibre operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and features bright blue steel screws, a column-wheel mechanism for tactile pusher feedback. The watch comes paired with a premium 20mm brown genuine leather strap featuring a signed stainless steel buckle. The watch comes complete with its special Legacy Edition presentation box, UV torch and paperwork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cb276d81-7fff-3b34-2752-92f717d696f5\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seagull","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57444407804284,"sku":"Legacy Edition","price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_ffb5f096-9a9b-4f75-8b0e-fae027b408f9.jpg?v=1789395455","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/2025-seagull-1963-legacy-edition-moonphase-limited-40mm","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
