67- Strela re-issued

I found this beautiful Strela in a flea market in Berlin.
It is a modern version of a classic soviet timepiece. The case is made entirely of stainless steel and the backcase has a display window to show the movement. It mounts a 3133 movement, a caliber with chronograph and date complications. Fully wound this watch will usually tick for well over 50 hours.

53- 2MWF Pocket Watch - Chronograph

Produced by the Second Moscow Watch Factory on the fourth quarter of 1955.
The watch is fitted with a 17 jewels movement, a caliber ChK-28. It is a column wheel chronograph movement with no summation function. Its only button, located at one, starts, stops and resets the chronograph. This was the first chronograph movement designed in the Soviet Union after WWII.
It has a beautiful and simple dial with no markings with the exception of the small factory identification under six.
It has two back covers both of them made of stainless steel.

43- Slava Rattrapante

Hand cronograph made by the 2nd Moscow Watch Factory with rattrapante (split seconds) complication.
The button on the center (hidden in the crown that hand winds the watch) starts and stop the chrono, the button on the left start and stop the split second function and the button on the right resets everything.
The watch has its original wooden box. A watch like this one has used been on space.

38- OKEAH

OKEAH watches were originally produced and issued for the soviet navy by the 1st Moscow Watch Factory. This watch is a modern re-issue.
Beautiful stainless steel case with a slightly doomed mineral crystal.
It mounts a 3133 chronograph movement with date function which was derived from the Valjoux 7734 Swiss caliber.
The watch internal rotating bezel that can be used to read a second time zone.
The watch has also a telemeter scale that can be used to estimate distances. The telemeter scale is, appropriately for a watch to be used by the Navy, in nautical miles. Distances are estimated by measuring the time since the origin of the sound by some visual reference to the moment the sound is actually heard. Distance is then read, in nautical miles, on the telemeter scale.
