Sea-Gull ST1940 Automatic Chronograph

[gran]

TY2940 (ST1940 = "Venus175" with Autowinding added) from Sea-Gull

Will this be useful in any replicas, or do the subdial position need to be modified to be truly useful?

Autowind is always usefull. Got a few manuals and they seem to get less and less wrist time.

Interesting that they copied the autowinder design from the Zenith El Primero...

Cool!

The question now is, how does the subdial spacing factor in?

[southcoast68]

And also the question of how thin this movement is and what case(s) it can be used in?

Interesting stuff!

I was hoping that they had included a hour counter for the chronograph. Could not find any information about it when searching on the net.. It seems like the 6 o'clock counter only is following the main hour hand.

As far as i can tell its the same so called lemania copy except it has the autowinder. Very common moevment in the rep world (sance autowinder).

Are there any technical information/schemes available for these movements (ST-190x, ST-1940 and like) ? Is there any source for spare parts ?
