Vintage Poljot Sturmanskie Chronograph Soviet Watch, Cal. 3133 from 1970's
This vintage Soviet Sturmanskie Chronograph is one of the most historically significant and collectible timepieces to come out of the USSR. Originally produced by the First Moscow Watch Factory from the 1960s onward, the Sturmanskie line was issued to Soviet military pilots, navigators, and even cosmonauts—including Yuri Gagarin, who famously wore a Sturmanskie during his historic 1961 space flight.
This particular example features the robust and revered Poljot 3133 movement, developed in the 1970s and widely considered one of the finest mechanical chronograph calibers of Soviet manufacture. Designed with precision and durability in mind, these watches were also used in civil aviation and naval aviation thanks to their reliability.
