Corgeut 42mm Cushion Case Hand-Wound Watch — Seagull ST3600/ST3601, Small Seconds

Corgeut 42mm Cushion Case Hand-Wound Watch — Seagull ST3600/ST3601, Small Seconds at 9

The Corgeut 42mm Cushion Case is a hand-wound mechanical watch — a polished 316L stainless steel cushion-square case at 13mm, Seagull ST3600 or ST3601 manual-wind movement (shipped at random), clean no-date dial with Arabic numerals at 12, 3 and 6, small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, sapphire crystal, transparent exhibition caseback with visible bridge finishing and blued screws, 22mm suede leather strap and 50m water resistance. Four dial options: black, blue, green and white.

Lug width note: 22mm — non-standard. Aftermarket straps at 22mm are available but less common than 20mm.

Movement note: This model ships with either the Seagull ST3600 or the Seagull ST3601 at random — the specific movement cannot be selected before shipping. See the movement section for the differences.

Key Specifications

ST3600 vs ST3601 — What You May Receive

The movement shipped is assigned at random from available stock. Both are Seagull hand-wound calibers:

The only practical difference: the ST3601 stops the seconds hand when the crown is pulled, allowing precise time-setting. The ST3600 does not hack — the seconds hand continues running while you set the time. Both are visible through the exhibition caseback. If hacking is specifically important to you, this watch may not be the correct purchase due to the random movement assignment.

Variants — Six Configurations

Black dial / black strap: Warm cream/gold-tone markers and hands on a dark dial with black suede strap. Vintage lume-style cream markers. The most classic and broadly versatile of the four dial options.

Black1 dial / black strap: A second black variant — the exact difference from the standard black should be confirmed from the product listing images before ordering.

Blue dial / blue strap: Sunburst radial blue dial with white markers and hands on matching blue suede strap. The blue sunburst creates the most contemporary and colour-rich configuration.

Green dial / brown strap: Sunburst radial green dial. Some images show it with a green strap; others show brown. Confirm the exact strap colour for this variant from the product listing before ordering.

Green dial / green strap: As above — confirm which green strap pairing applies to each green variant.

White dial / brown strap: Black numerals, black baton markers on a clean white dial with brown leather strap. No luminous compound — the white dial version has no lume on markers or hands. The highest daytime contrast but no low-light legibility.

Cushion Case

A cushion case — rounded-square with curved sides — creates a specific vintage character different from both round and rectangular cases. At 42mm the Corgeut cushion case has a wide, character-focused wrist presence. The polished surfaces catch light from multiple angles simultaneously as the case geometry creates faceted reflections.

The 42mm cushion wears as a medium-large watch — appropriate for wrists above approximately 16.5cm.

Small Seconds at 9 O’Clock

The sub-seconds register at 9 o’clock — a traditional watchmaking layout associated with pocket watch movements and early 20th-century wristwatches — places the running seconds on an independent sub-dial rather than a central hand. This creates a cleaner main dial (no central seconds hand competing with the hour and minute hands) and reinforces the vintage character of the cushion case.

The no-date dial keeps the layout symmetrical — no date window interrupts the circular symmetry of the hour markers.

Hand-Wound Experience

Daily winding required — turn the crown clockwise 20–30 turns each morning until resistance increases noticeably. The watch stops after approximately 40–45 hours without winding (power reserve not specified for ST3600/ST3601 — confirm from Seagull’s specification). The hand-wound mechanism, combined with the exhibition caseback, creates the deliberate mechanical ownership character specific to manual-wind watches.

Exhibition Caseback

The transparent caseback reveals the Seagull movement in full — bridge finishing, visible gear train, blued screws and the balance wheel oscillating. The specific movement visible (ST3600 or ST3601) is determined at shipping.

Lume — Variant-Specific

Black dial: Vintage cream/gold luminous markers — glows in darkness, the cream colour is visible in daylight.

Green dial: Vintage cream/gold luminous-style markers — confirm lume specification from the listing.

Blue dial: Confirm lume specification before purchasing if low-light legibility is important.

White dial: No luminous compound — the white dial has no lume. The watch is not legible in complete darkness.

Who Is the Corgeut 42mm Cushion Case For?

The watch is built for:

• Cushion case buyers who want the rounded-square vintage case shape on a Seagull hand-wound at 42mm
• Small seconds at 9 o’clock buyers who want the traditional watchmaking sub-seconds layout
• No-date dial buyers who want the clean symmetrical dial without a date window interrupting the layout
• Suede strap buyers who want the casual, tactile strap material on a vintage-character mechanical watch

How It Compares

vs. Baltany 1921 Vintage Cushion Case — The Baltany uses Seagull ST1700/ST1701 at 38mm/9.5–10.5mm in a cushion case with applied Arabic numerals and blued small seconds at 6 o’clock. The Corgeut uses ST3600/ST3601 at 42mm/13mm with small seconds at 9 o’clock. Both are Seagull hand-wound cushion case watches — Baltany is smaller and slimmer; Corgeut is larger with the 9 o’clock sub-seconds and suede strap.

vs. Farasute 5336B Regulator — The 5336B is Seagull hand-wound at 39mm/7.95mm with regulator dial. The Corgeut is Seagull hand-wound at 42mm/13mm with cushion case and small seconds at 9. Both Seagull manual-wind — different case shapes and dial architectures.
