Here's a screenshot of the Soyuz T-5 images I have on file. About Russian Poljot 3133 chronographs I used to refer as white & black dials, but it seems the clear dial should be called " grey dial " 😁
My red book notes show that the T-5 crew wore:
Anatoli Berezovoy (Grey dial 3133 + Elektronika quartz) Valentin Lebedev (Elektronika quartz)
See photo
This actual example Space-flown ?
Probably not, rather a commemorative piece of which 7 were given out ( 7 for Salyut 7 ? )
.
The Soyuz T-5 mission lasted 211 days with a few interesting visits by T-6 ( Jean-Loup Chrétien and Vladimir Dzhanibekov who wore his Speedmaster 125) and by T-7 (Svetlana Savitskaya who later became the first woman to perform an EVA - spacewalk on Soyuz T-12).
Besides the space-flown suitcases with Omega Speedmasters (10 set in Dec 1990 for 90 days, 35 set in July 1993 for 373 days) we can wonder if cosmonauts ever took that many wrist watches with them onboard the Salyut space stations?
Here's an interesting photo of Jean-Loup Chrétien juggling Speedmaster chronographs onboard the Mir space station in 1988.
