POLJOT STURMANSKIE PILOT NAVIGATOR 3133 VINTAGE PJX02

Enter the Russians. The Russian watch movement is nothing new, in fact it holds an important and interesting place in grand scheme of things. Many of us associate the word and brand "Poljot" with Russian watches, and that makes sense. After all, Poljot (which means "flight") was the dominant producer of Russian watches for about 30 years.

In 1961, then owned by Poljot, a watch bearing the name Sturmanskie (Navigator) was sent into space on the wrist of Yuri Gagarin. THIS was actually the first watch in space, not the Breitling Cosmonaute or the Omega Speedmaster (so feel free to correct your friends at will). Later, astronauts from France, Germany, and the Ukraine also wore Poljot pieces into space.
