STURMANSKIE HERITAGE SPUTNIK Quartz Watch 51524-1071661

Sputnik 1, the world's first unmanned artificial satellite, was launched by the former Soviet Union in 1957.

In Russian, "Sputnik" means "something attached to it," which has come to mean "satellite" or "artificial satellite."

The successful launch of Sputnik not only encouraged the Soviet people and marked a major scientific and technological achievement, but also shocked the American people, their Cold War opponent, and influenced the political situation during the Cold War, including the start of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union.

This model is the successor to the mechanical Sputnik, which is equipped with the 2609 movement, which is becoming increasingly scarce. It is small and thin, and its GMT function is a welcome feature.

Additionally, the indexes and hands are coated with luminous paint so you can read the time even in the dark.

The original model has been faithfully reproduced, allowing you to enjoy the retro atmosphere of the time.

The crystal is a domed mineral crystal .

It has a classic and warm design reminiscent of the 1959 model.

The case diameter is approximately 40mm and the thickness is 9mm, making it a size that fits comfortably on Japanese wrists.

Black calf leather belt .

It is a pin buckle type that is attached by passing the buckle through the belt hole.

It comes with an original Sturmanski case, which is convenient for storing the instruction manual and the watch itself. Of course, it also makes a great gift.
