The Sugess Chrono Heritage collection embodies the spirit of classic chronograph watchmaking, offering a blend of vintage aesthetics and robust mechanical performance. These watches pay homage to iconic designs while providing modern reliability, all powered by the revered Seagull ST19 manual-winding movement.

This diverse collection (including models like the S442 series, S419 series, and various SUPAN/SUCHP models) is designed for enthusiasts who appreciate the intricate dance of a mechanical chronograph and the timeless appeal of historical watch designs.

The Enduring Heart: Seagull ST1901 Movement

At the core of the Chrono Heritage series lies the Seagull ST1901 manual-winding chronograph movement. This movement is highly regarded in the microbrand watch community for its heritage and performance:

• Column Wheel Chronograph: A distinguishing feature, the column wheel mechanism provides a crisp, satisfying “click” when actuating the chronograph pushers (start, stop, reset). This is a hallmark of high-end chronographs, offering superior tactile feedback and longevity compared to cam-actuated designs.
• Manual Winding: Engaging directly with your timepiece through daily winding creates a connection to the craftsmanship, a cherished ritual for mechanical watch aficionados.
• Historical Lineage: The ST19 is a direct descendant of the Swiss Venus 175 chronograph movement, a testament to its proven design and reliability.
• Exhibition Case Back: Most models feature a transparent case back, allowing you to admire the beautiful architecture of the ST19 movement, often adorned with blued screws and a swan neck regulator (on select models) for fine adjustment.
• Chronograph Functionality: Typically features a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a running seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, offering classic bi-compax chronograph layouts.
