Specifications
The "Gagarin Anniversary Series" from Sturmanskie, the legendary watch that was the first in human history to fly into space with Gagarin.
Introducing a 33mm case that suits both men with slimmer wrists and women who prefer hand-wound watches.
The dial bears the logo of the First Moscow Watch Factory, and the watch faithfully reproduces the look of the time.
The belt is approximately 18.5cm long, and even a male staff member with a larger wrist size can still wear it with about three holes of room to spare.
The wrist size is approximately 15cm, and the male and female staff members in the image above were wearing the pants with the second hole from the tightest point.
Even the size of the watch worn by Yuri Gagarin at the time, 33mm, has been faithfully reproduced.
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 2609 manual winding movement is no longer in production, so this watch is only made using existing movements.
Models with the 2609 movement will disappear in the near future.
The warmth of the hand-wound movement and the beat it plays provide a sense of peace during busy nights.
*The P mark in front of "2609" in the image stands for POLJOT.
The factory produced watches not for sale to the general public, but for issuing to government officials and pilots. On April 12, 1961, the young pilot Yuri Gagarin flew into space wearing a "Sturmansky" watch specially ordered by the state, and orbited the Earth in 1 hour and 48 minutes.
The first space clock in history was actually a Sturmansky.
The wristwatch, which functioned perfectly under conditions of zero gravity and overload and completed the first space journey, has been passed down to the present day as the "Gagarin Anniversary Series."
The center of the face also features the logo of the First Moscow Watch Factory, just like the original.
The Gagarin, previously only available for men, finally comes in a 33mm case
Sturmanski is a watch manufacturer whose watches are only permitted to be worn by those engaged in special missions, such as high-ranking government officials and air force pilots.
Sturmansky is a brand that supported space development during the Soviet era, and this latest reissue model from Sturmansky is named after the first man in space.
The size is just right for women, and it also looks good on men with slimmer wrists.
This watch is equipped with the POLJOT 2609 manual winding movement, which was produced during the Soviet era and will become rare in the future.
You can engrave your name, anniversary, message, or any other text of your choice on the back of the watch.
It's rare to be able to engrave a Shturmanski watch! The serial number is engraved on the case back, and above and below the number you can engrave up to 7 characters per line, for a total of 14 characters in two lines.
Pair it with the 40mm Sturmanski to create a pair watch, and engraving makes a great gift.
