Wearing the finest flight chronographs of the Soviet era, they successfully carry out the first human spacewalk (extravehicular activity).

This legendary watch, which kept time for approximately 20 minutes, was named "STRELA" and was a historic masterpiece produced primarily as a military aviation watch, and was only permitted to be worn by air force officers.

Featuring a simple face that allows instant checking of the time, and a robust construction that can withstand any test, the watch boasts a meticulous design that allows for smooth extravehicular activity in zero-gravity space, where time is a constant race against the clock.

It features a chronograph, 30-minute counter, 9-hour counter, hacking function, tachymeter, and telemeter display.

The hands and indexes are luminous , ensuring visibility even in the dark.

The spherical crystal glass windshield creates a retro atmosphere.

The back of the watch is a see-through case back, allowing you to see the automatic chronograph movement made by Seiko Instruments (SII).

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.
