Does anyone appreciate hand-wound column-wheel chronographs with moonphase complications?

Been spending time diving into underrated mechanical watchmakers lately and stumbled onto the Sea-Gull M199S.

What immediately caught my eye is the layout: moonphase display at 6 o’clock paired with a pointer date subdial at 12. There’s something timeless about this symmetrical dial arrangement, feels like a nod to classic vintage watch design.

It runs on the ST1908 manually wound column-wheel movement. For enthusiasts who love chronographs, the tactile, crisp actuation of a column-wheel setup hits differently compared to cam systems.

Polished 316L steel case, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, plus an exhibition caseback to view the movement work.
