Thank you, SpeedyPhill.

<<The first hours that went into outer space with cosmonaut Alexei Leonov on June 12, 1965, were Strela (3017). They were intended, like the "Shturmanskie" only for the command staff of the Air Force. The watch was attached to the sleeve of the spacesuit. The clock mechanism was on 19 jewels, had a single-hand stopwatch and a 45-minute minute counter. These watches were actively used by cosmonauts until the end of the 70s.>>

I still have to see a clear photo or video footage still showing a Strela "Arrow" chronograph on the outside of the Berkut spacesuits used by Voskhod-2 cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Pavel Belyayev in March 1965...
Walkout photos don't show watches on the outside of the Berkut spacesuit (Photo: TASS/RosCosmos)...
nor do I see any wristwatch on the outside of the Berkut suit in the High Definition spacewalk video

I only see straps over the gloves but no wristwatch, nor on the forearm of the Berkut spacesuit...
We can conclude the Strela "Arrow" chronograph wristwatch was worn underneath the Berkut spacesuit as we only see these 33 mm white cream dial watches on cosmonauts' wrists during recovery TV footage...
