STURMANSKIE Anniversary Model 33 Gagarin Black Watch, 2609-375/1/471LB, Limited Edition of 2,000 Pieces Worldwide

A reproduction watch worn by Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, who famously said, "The Earth was blue," is now available.

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.

There are two models in total, including the popular ivory model and a black color. This watch faithfully reproduces the design of the "Sturmansky" watch that Gagarin used when he launched into space, specially ordered by the state.

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.

The hands and indexes are luminous, making it easy to check the time even in the dark.

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 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 watch brand Sturmansky was founded in 1930 as the First Moscow Watch Factory during the Soviet era.

This factory produced watches not for sale to the general public, but for issuance to government officials and pilots. On April 12, 1961, the young pilot Yuri Gagarin launched into space wearing a specially commissioned "Shturmansky" wristwatch, completing one orbit around the Earth in 1 hour and 48 minutes.

The first space clock in history was actually a Sturmansky.

The watch, which functioned perfectly under conditions of zero gravity and overload and completed the first space journey, is part of the Gagarin Anniversary Series. This tradition has been passed down to the present day.

The center of the face also features the original logo of the First Moscow Watch Factory.
