The quick answer.
SEA-GULL Meteorite Rattrapante Split-Second Chronograph is a chronograph watch with case dimensions 42.5 mm diameter at $5,299. We recommend it for a chronograph enthusiast who specifically wants split-seconds timing, a meteorite dial and a limited mechanical release.
Why it belongs on the shortlist.
A Muonionalusta meteorite dial gives each example a naturally varied pattern, while the Grade-5 titanium case keeps the design from becoming a conventional steel chronograph. The ST1961-2 adds the feature that sets this watch apart: its second chronograph hand can pause for a split time, then catch up with the main hand. SEA-GULL lists a 45-hour reserve and limits the edition to 200 pieces.
The meteorite dial makes this a collector-led design.
SEA-GULL identifies the dial as Muonionalusta meteorite, so the natural pattern is the centerpiece rather than a printed texture. The silver dial, blue hands and titanium case keep the appearance restrained enough for the unusual material to remain the focus.
The rattrapante is the reason to choose it.
The ST1961-2 is a hand-wound split-seconds chronograph. SEA-GULL explains that both chronograph hands start together; the dedicated split pusher can stop one for an intermediate reading while the other keeps running. That is a more specialized complication than a standard chronograph and gives the watch a distinct technical purpose.
Treat it as an enthusiast watch, not a casual diver.
SEA-GULL lists a 42.5 mm case, 49.5 mm lug-to-lug and approximately 16 mm thickness. The manual movement and 45-hour reserve call for regular winding, while the brand says the 5 bar rating is not for swimming or diving. Those details help define its best use: desk, collection and timing, rather than water activity.

Before you choose
The case is approximately 16 mm thick and uses a manual-wind movement, so this asks for more wrist space and daily interaction than a simple automatic. SEA-GULL lists 5 bar water resistance and specifically advises against swimming or diving. Its page lists $5,299 and separately advertises an automatic $700 early-bird discount; we have not checked the discount’s current eligibility or whether it stacks with the supplied partner code.
Who it suits.
A chronograph enthusiast who specifically wants split-seconds timing, a meteorite dial and a limited mechanical release.
When to choose something else.
You want a thin everyday watch, automatic winding, regular swimming use or a lower-cost chronograph.
Warranty, returns and ownership.
SEA-GULL lists a three-year international warranty and says the edition is limited to 200 pieces. The official product page advertises a separate $700 automatic early-bird offer; confirm current terms and the final cart total before ordering.
