STURMANSKIE Gagarin Anniversary Model Classic 2609-3735233 Limited to 250 pieces worldwide

Gagarin, the first astronaut in human history, famously said, "The Earth was blue." The legendary Sturmansky watch, the Gagarin Anniversary Series, launched into space.

A watch accented with dial fonts from the 1960s and 1970s.

It is a simple watch with only numbers on the dial, the Sturmansky logo, and "Made in Moscow First Watch Factory" written in Cyrillic at 6 o'clock.

The movement used is the hand-wound caliber 2609.

Developed during the Soviet era, this movement is highly rare and only a few left, with only a few more remaining. In recent years, as the popularity of the Sturmansky has grown worldwide, the 2609 movement has been declining rapidly, and it has been decided that it will no longer be used in the standard Gagarin Anniversary series. It will only be found in the higher-end models of the Anniversary series.

And models with the 2609 movement will likely become unavailable.

Please try out this rare hand-wound movement.

The case diameter is approximately 40mm and the thickness is approximately 12mm. This thickness is unique to old watches and enhances the vintage feel.

Gagarin's most famous words include "The Earth was blue" and "There was no God," which he said about the Earth he saw from the outside during his 108-minute space flight.

He always remained positive and smiling no matter the situation, and as he set off into space carrying the expectations of the world, he was truly worthy of being called a Russian hero.

The first manned space flight by a human. The young pilot Gagarin, representing the Soviet Union, joined the space program at the age of 27.

Gagarin boarded the Vostok 3KA-2 spacecraft, which was said to be a cramped spacecraft, and set off into space, a place no human had ever reached before.

The watch that took on Gagarin on this daring mission, unprecedented in human history, was the "Sturmansky," manufactured by the First Moscow Watch Factory. It was the world's first wristwatch to fly into space.

The front and back are very simple. Because it is simple, you will never get bored of it and you will be able to use it for a long time.

It doesn't interfere with your fashion, so it can be matched with a variety of outfits, from suits to casual wear.

It will be delivered with a special box, warranty card, and instruction manual.
