STURMANSKIE Gagarin Anniversary Model Stainless Steel Watch, Limited Edition of 500 Pieces, 2609-3745202

The "Gagarin Anniversary Series" from Sturmanskie, the legendary watch that was the first in human history to fly into space with Gagarin.

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 curved crystal gives it a vintage feel, reminiscent of an antique watch! Its thin design makes the dial easier to read, improving legibility.

What's more, this "Gagarin Anniversary Model Hand-Wound" is a rare, limited edition model with only 500 units being sold!

Since you won't likely see anyone else wearing it, it makes you feel even more special.

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.

A portrait of Gagarin is engraved on the back of the watch, as well as a serial number. *You cannot choose the number.

The indexes and hands are luminous, making them highly visible even in dark places.

It looks great not only with suits, but also with casual outfits, military jackets, and flight jackets.

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