Tiger Tally is an ancient artifact used to tally soldiers in ancient China and is a symbol of power and strength. By incorporating it into the design of the watch, Sea-Gull has created a unique and meaningful piece of wearable art.

This model blends traditional Chinese elements with modern design. It features small seal script as watch indices, giving it a unique and sophisticated look. At 6 o'clock on the dial, you'll find the Qin armor, adding an historical touch to the watch. The Chinese character "秦" in the form of small seal script was engraved on the case back, further emphasizing its Chinese heritage.

Design elements:

  • The tiger tally engravings on the left side of the watch case and on the watch strap was based on the tiger tally of Du county
  • The indices from 1 to 12 are shown in small seal script, which is an ancient form of Chinese that was invented in Qin dynasty after the First Emperor of Qin unified the six kingdoms at around 236 - 221 BC. The Chinese character "Qin/秦" in small seal script can be found on the center of case back.
  • The design of the Qin helmet at 6 o'clock was based on real Qin helmets that were unearthed at Terracotta site.
  • The seconds hand was inspired by the arrows of Qin crossbow.
