They then wear the best flight gear of the Soviet era and successfully perform humanity's first 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 also features a day-date calendar, making it a useful watch for everyday use.

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

The spherical mineral glass crystal creates a retro atmosphere.

The back of the watch is engraved with an image of the astronaut who successfully completed the first spacewalk in human history.

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 for men.
